Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal objects 
such as staples, paper clips and glitter, as they may 
damage the rollers.

Do not force items into the nip area of the rollers. An 
item that is not easily drawn into the laminator by the 
rollers is probably too thick to laminate.

Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to 
reposition an item once it has been grasped by the 
rollers.

Do not stop the laminator before an item has 
completely exited the pull rollers. Even a momentary 
stop may cause a mark on the laminated item.

Good, consistent lamination is a result of combining 
proper tension, heat, and dwell time. Dwell time is 
controlled by the speed of the motor and is defined 
as the amount of time the material to be laminated is 
compressed between the rollers. 

As a general rule, thicker items and film need to run 
at slower speeds. Setting the speed control at slower 
settings gives the laminator longer dwell time thus 
allowing proper lamination of thick items. Thinner 
items, such as standard copier paper (20 lb. bond) 
and tissue paper can be run at faster speeds.

Do not combine thick and thin items at the same 
time, as this will result in a poor edge seal around 
the thinner material. If you are unsure that the 
laminator is set at the proper speed for the item to 
be laminated, run a test piece (scrap) of the same or 
similar material through the laminator. Make speed 
adjustments if necessary.

This manual provides general guidelines and is only 
a general reference guide. Different settings may be 
suitable as the lamination time and materials change. 

Important: 

Test materials before running good 

materials through the laminator.
