Film Replacement
It is recommended to remove or replace the film just before the supply rolls run out of film. This will
prevent the film adhesive from inadvertently contacting the rollers.
Never advance the film through the laminator without first heating the rollers. This will prevent the
possibility of tearing the roller covering from the film being “glued” to the rollers, especially when a
film with an aggressive adhesive is used
When changing film Rolls simply cut the top and bottom film from the machine (be careful not to get
close to the rollers with any sharp object). Run the laminate until there are just a few inches left before
one of the webs of film go thru the rollers. Replace the film per previous instructions except stick the
new film to the film that is left in the machine. Once stuck, the new film will be pulled thru by the old
film.
