Shutdown
The Laminator should be shutdown when not in use for a period longer than five minutes. If the
laminator is left on while not in use the roller temperatures may drift and cause poor lamination. The
standard shutdown procedure is as follows:
1. Clear the laminated material from the laminator (paper not film).
2. Shut off the fan switch.
3. Shut off the heat switch or reduce temperature below 160 degrees.
4. Reduce roller pressure if needed.
5. Gap the rollers.
6. Place the motor direction switch to its mid point or off position.
Attention: After a long, high speed run on a high performance model laminator, while using a high
temperature film (275 degrees Fahrenheit or more), it may be necessary to slow the laminating rollers to
a stop or run the last 5-6 sheets of material at a rather slow speed. This will prevent the rollers from
overheating due to the built up core temperatures.
The fans should never be used to aid in cooling the laminating rollers during
shutdown
Remember, when the laminator is not heated up DO NOT advance the film
In the instance that highly aggressive thermal adhesive has adhered to the rollers,
running the machine cold may damage the rollers
