Specifications

Thread the top roll of film under the idler roller as shown in the

threading diagram on previous page (see Figure 9-4). Pull the

film down so that the films lead edge is below the lower heat

shoe. Next thread the bottom roll of film under the lower idler

bar pulling film upward until it is even with the top heat shoe

(the film will overlap). Tape it to the top film edge. This creates

a film “Web” (Photo 10-1 & 10-2).

Using Tension Adjustment knobs, loosen tension on both rolls

of laminating film. Turn on the “Drive” switch and using the

threading board—push the film web into the laminating rollers.

This process will push the web into the pull rollers and exit.

Ensure that the threading board and film exit between the rear

pull rollers (Photo 10-3 & 10-4).

NOTE: If you lose your threading board or if it becomes dam-

aged, you can make your own with a piece of poster board.

Cut poster board 12” wide by

the length of the laminator (27”).

Your laminator is now loaded and ready to be heated. Remove

the threading board and save for your next use.
