machine openings as they could get caught by rollers and be pulled inside, causing

personal injury.

3. Do not insert sharp objects into front or rear machine openings. Do not place anything

in feed tray openings of machine other than appropriate laminating materials or pouches.

4. Do not attempt to laminate items that exceed total recommended material thickness.

5. Do not operate machine for any other purposes than its intended use.

6. Do not operate machine if electrical plug or power cord is damaged.

7. Turn off the power when unattended or not in use. Unplug machine before movig it or

when it is not in use for an extended period of time.

ADJUSTMENT OF FILM TENSION AND LOCATIONS

Alignment Knob.

Locking Nut

Tension Control Knob device

1. HOW TO CONTROL TENSION

Tension of film can be controlled depending on the state of lamination, but basically you

can adjust it, to some extent, and make wrinkles straighten from Anti-Wrinkle Part of the

heat shoe. To increase the tension on the film, turn the knob clockwise.

To lower the tension, turn the handle counter clockwise. If lamination is curved upward,

it means that tension of upper film is high. In this case, it can be controlled by raising

tension of lower film or lowering tension of upper film. If lamination is curved downward,

apply the method in reverse.

2. HOW TO ADJUST ALIGNMENT

Location control device is used when the edges of the lamination are unjustified.

As the drawing shows, when the alignment knob is turned clockwise, the upper film is

moved to right. On the contrary, when the handle is turned counter-clockwise, it is moved

to left. Once proper alignment is reached, turn the Locking Nut tight against the Alignment

knob so the adjustment is set.

shoe.

6. Allow some of the film with melted resin to stick to the Guiding Paper.

7. Repeat step 5 with lower roll film then stick it to the Guiding Paper.

8. Unwind 30~40cm(1~1.3ft) of both rolls of film, to loosen the film tension. This should be

fed through to the rear roller without tension.

9. Set speed at 1 and press the "RUN" button to feed film into the machine.

LAMINATING STEPS

1. HOT LAMINATING

1. Properly plug in the machine.

2. Set up your film.

3. Turn on the power switch on the backside of the product. (Emergency Switch must

be turned to the "OFF" position.

4. Set pressure lever to "Laminating" position.

5. Increase temperature of the hot shoe. If the temperature is memorized for the

button to choose the correct location.

6. It is ready when the LCD window shows and the buzzer rings sound

three times. (It takes about 10minutes depending on setting temperature.)

7. To set the film tension properly, please use the Tension Adjustment Knob while

you are checking laminating condition (The lower film tension would make

the better operation.)

8. Set documents on the table. (You should allow at least 5mm(1/4") room on each

side for perfect laminations.

9.Push RUN on the control panel. If the rollers don't run, please check

the emergency switch whether it is located at "ON" position or not.

10. Push document into the rollers and start laminating.

11. Push STOP when the laminating is finished. Cut the document with the cross

cutter, if needed.

12. It would be convenient, if the table guide is set at the proper position when

the machine is continuously laminating. It is possible to cut unnecessary excess

from the left/right side of the object with the Slitters.

13. The document, which has been just laminated, is pretty hot and easily bent.

Try not to touch the document until it has cooled down.

14. After finishing your work(laminating), change the position of the Pressure Lever

to "Hard Board, 1mm(40mil)".

15. Turn the Power switch off.

- 18 -

***Useful Information***

1. It would be easier for you to operate the machine next time if the tempreature and

2. sign may appear on LCD window in the case continuous laminating.

If it happens, the speed needs to be lowered by one speed level and started again

after signal on the LCD window.

3. In case of wrinkling or rolling of film due to wrong position of document, the button

to the front with buzzer sound.

4. When document is much smaller than film, you should place it in the middle of film

for preventing wrinkle.

5. Use cooling fan when you laminate continuously without break and document is too hot.

***Laminating Speed at each level***

SPEED 1 1.0m(3.3ft)

SPEED 2 1.6m(5.2ft)

SPEED 3 2.0m(6.6ft)

SPEED 4 2.2m(7.2ft)

SPEED 5 2.6m(8.5ft)

SPEED 6 3.3m(10.8ft)

SPEED 7 4.3m(14.1ft)

SPEED 8 5.2m(17.1ft)

SPEED 9 6.0m(19.7ft)

The above laminating speed numbers are at the condition on regular voltage with almost no film tension. There might be the possibility for difference to the above numbers due to the change of voltage or adjustment of tension.

7. Set document on the table.

You should allow at least 5mm(1/4”)

space on each side for perfect laminations

8. Turn the switch “Run” and "take up motor"

at the same time. The liner and film wii be

rolled at the same time.

For your convenience, it would be better to set table guide in proper position.

And if needed, cut documents with cross cutter.

10. Set pressure lever at the Hard board/1mm(40mil) mode.

11. Turn off the power switch.

*** Reference ***

1. Set up the protection paper. Otherwise, glue form the film will be stuck on the face of th

and it can be seriously damaged.

2. Turn the switch “Run” and “Take up motor” at the same time.

3. For worm lamination, set temperature from the hot mode.

- 21 -

TIPS FOR REMOTE CONTROL AND FOOT SWITCH

1. It is convenient to use the remote control in the back of machine while laminating.

2. It is also convenient if you use Foot Switch while laminating HARD BOARD.

3. "RUN", "STOP", "REV" buttons on Remote Control have same functions with the ones on Control Panel.

4. Press Foot Switch one time for "RUN", press one more time for "STOP".

(Don't keep pressing)

5. After use of Remote Control, attach it to the left side of rear of machine.

METHOD FOR USING CUTTER

1.Cross Cutter

1. It is on the back side of the machine.

2. After lamination, move cutter to a point about

1/3 of the width of lamination.

3. Grasp film with one hand and press the cutter

downward and slide it to the direction

intending to cut with another hand.

4.Press the cutter and slide it the other way.

- 22 -

2. Slitters

1.This machines has two vertical cutters (slitters)

2. For successive lamination, it is easy to cut

vertically.

3.Fix the cutter at the point to be cut, on the left

and right.

(Turn the screw counter clock wise to loosen the slitter, and slide it to the point to be cut.

Once the point is set, turn clock wise to fix it.)

4. Turn the cutter knob to "ON".

5.Once you start lamination, it is automatically

slit.

6.Dial Cutter knob at "OFF" mode after lamination.

7.When the knife is dull, unscrew the cutter screw to

counter clockwise to take the knife out.

Break the edge of knife and tighten the screw.

**CAUTION.**

*When you do not use vertical cutter, please set the both cutter at the bottom of

each side. It could cause you to cut your hands while installing roll film.

- 23 -

IMPORTANT SAFETY CONCERNS

1.Please be cautious that neck tie, necklace, long hair, clothes are kept well away

while operation.

2. Prevent children from accessing the machine.

Extreme Heat Will Cause Injury

3.Place the machines on the plated place in order to prevent the machine from damage.

4.Make certain that the machine is connecterd to an adequate power source.

5.Do not use any other purposes other than the lamination.

MAINTENANCE

1.Do NOT Allow the machine to run with only one roll of film installed.

The melted resin will adhere to one roller and ruin future laminations.

2.The width of film should be bigger than the material, and width of upper side,

and lower side of film should be same in order not to allow melted resin to adhere

to the rollers.

3.Be sure to adjust the film tension while in operation.

If the tension is too tight, it could cause the film to stretch.

4.After work, you should clean the resin from the rollers before beginning the next

operation.

5.Please check the lubricant after long operation or you do not use for a long time.

6.Check the chain linking each gear is not loosened.

The limit tension allowed is 3mm.
