The following procedure uses a film threading card 
that is sometimes provided with new rolls of film. If 
one is not provided, a scrap piece of cardboard or 
poster board with a straight edge is suitable. Either 
can be reused. Prior to loading film, remove the 
safety shield and feed table.

Note: 

These instructions are for loading laminating 

and mounting films for decaling. The top supply 
shaft is used for laminating films and the bottom 
supply shaft is used for mounting film or kraft paper. 
If you are not applying mounting film to a laminate, 
kraft paper should be used on the bottom supply 
shaft to prevent adhesive from sticking to the rollers. 
For more information about loading films for other 
processes, refer to the appropriate section in this 
chapter.

To web (load the films) the machine:

Remove the safety shield and feed tray. Refer 
to 

Safety Shield Removal and Installation and Feed 

Table Removal and Installation in this section.

Pull the top film down, thread it under the idler 
bar, and pull the film back up to the take-up core.

Lightly tape both corners of the film to the take-
up core.  
Ensure that the film is pulled evenly and that no 
bulges exist at either end of the idler bar.

Using a very sharp utility knife, lightly score the 
laminating film approximately 4 in (10 cm) above 
the upper pressure roller.  
Be careful to not cut through the release liner.

Pull the laminating film away from the liner and 
drape it over the front of the pressure rollers so 
that it extends to a little past the bottom of the 
top pressure roller.

Pull the mounting film (or kraft paper) up to 
about even with the top of the top pressure roller 
without touching the sticky laminating film.

While pulling evenly, carefully align the edges of 
the mounting film with the laminating film, and 
press the two together. It is important that the 
tension is even from one end of the supply rolls 
to the other.

Press the straight edge of the threading card into 
the two films at the nip (the point between the 
two pressure rollers) until the card and films are 
slightly past the nip.
