For thermal processes, the heat rollers need to be 
brought up to the proper temperature before you 
load films or run items through the laminator. If the 
laminator will be idle for more than four hours, lower 
the temperature of both rollers to 165 °F (75 °C).

For PSA films and mounting processes, remove the 
chill idler. Refer to the 

Removing and Installing the 

Chill Idler 

section in this chapter.

To run the laminator: 

 

 WARNING:

 Make sure the safety shield and 

feed tray are in their proper positions and latched. 
Your fingers and hands could be trapped and 
crushed in the rollers. Clothing, jewelry, and long hair 
could be caught in the rollers and pull you into them.

Turn the laminator 

On (I) 

with the power switch 

located at the back of the laminator.

Load the desired film.  
Refer to the 

Loading Film

 section in this chapter.

Do one of the following.

For thermal processes, set the desired 
temperature and wait until 

READY

 

appears on the display.

For PSA processes, set the temperature 
to the lowest settings.

Set the roller pressure handle for the thickness of 
the item that is to be laminated or mounted. 

Set the desired speed.

Press the 

RUN

 button.  

The rollers will begin to turn.
