3 HOW TO USE
A. LAMINATING FUNCTION
(1) TWO-SIDED LAMINATION
LOADING THE FILM
This machine has the capability of loading laminating film with 1” cores and with 3” cores using the
adapters on each side of the roll included. Unpack the upper and lower rods. Remove the feed tray.
Slide the roll film onto the rods, leaving equal lengths of rod out of each end. Use the guide marks to
position the roll of film. Load the rods on the laminator. When using the adapters for film with 3”
cores, follow an adapter---film----adapter sequence onto the rod and fit the adapters onto the paper
core. Note: you cannot interchange the upper and lower rods.
THREADING THE FILM
Read the threading card supplied with each roll of film carefully. Do not mistake the stabilizer bar for the
idler roller.
1. To thread the film through the “hot” rollers & “pull” rollers, please push the handle forward to release
pressure on all the rollers. Insert the handle pin into the farthest notch to lock the handle in place.
2. Push the film through the rollers and make sure the film is perfectly aligned at the top and bottom
Note: Overlap will cause the top film to deposit adhesive on the hot rollers and pull rollers, so this
procedure is critical.
3. Make sure the film is correctly threaded based on the threading guide. A threading diagram is also
located on the right side panel of the machine.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE & SPEED
1. After turning on the power switch, the digital screen display will show the previous temperature
setting. Please adjust the temperature to the recommended setting based on the thickness of film being
used by pressing the “TEMP/SET” “ ︿

of the machine’s left side panel. The lowest thermal temperature this machine can be set is 80°C
(176°F). The digital screen display will show the set temperature for 3 seconds before showing the
actual machine temperature. Make sure the bottom roller heater switch is in the “ON” position.
2. Once the temperature is set, press the “HOT” key to start the heating process and the heater light will
turn on. Once the set temperature is achieved and the roller temperature is stabilized, the machine will
start beeping and the ready light will turn on. Once the ready light stays on, you can set the
recommended speed.
