CAUTION! Do not allow the temperature to exceed 350°F as this could 
cause the laminating film to melt on the heat shoes, and will void warranty. 
 
3. Adjust the paper guide on the feed table so that the right edge of the item will 
enter the laminator at the desired position. 
4. Press the motor switch to the “on” position. The film will begin moving 
through the laminator. 
5. When you begin laminating after the film has been sitting on the heat shoes 
for a while, you should let about 6” of the film run through the machine before 
you insert an item to be laminated. 
6. After clear laminating film exits the pull rollers at the rear of the machine, you 
may slide the first item to be laminated into the laminator with the right edge 
along the paper guide. 
 
NOTE: You may want to run a test lamination first, as any item that passes 
between the heat shoes will be laminated and cannot be recovered until it 
exits the rear of the laminator. 
7. Additional items may be fed in sequence, keeping enough distance between 
sheets for trimming. 
8. After the last item has exited the pull rollers, turn the motor switch off. 
9. Use a zippy cutter to cut across the film to remove the laminated items from 
the unit. 
10. The 5 mil option switch is a factory installed option which gives the user the 
capability of laminating 5 mil laminate.
