9. LAMINATING STEPS

9.1. HOT LAMINATING

LED Display

1. Turn on the power switch located on the rear of the machine.

2. Set the pressure lever to the "Laminating mode".

3. Adjust the roller temperature in accordance with the film type.

4. When the desired temperature is met that the LED-LIGHT will be stopped instead of flashing.

5. Press the “RUN/STOP” button once, the rollers should begin to turn, if not you should make sure the safety cover is closed or check the troubleshooting section of the manual.

6. Use the upper and lower Tension knobs to properly adjust the tension of the roll film. Having the tension too tight will slow down or prevent the rollers from turning and if the tension is set too low this can cause wrinkles in your lamination.

7. For ease and convenience to set the document guides in position.

8. Set document on the table.

9. Press “RUN/STOP” button once again when lamination is competed.

10.When lamination is completed your item may be hot and can easily bend. Lay on a flat surface to properly cool.

11.When you have completed all of your lamination, set the pressure lever to the OPEN position.

12.Turn the Power switch off.

------------------ Useful information ------------------

1. When laminating continuously the temperature LED light may flash. If this occurs lower the speed by 1 increment. The flashing of LED should stop and you may continue laminating.

2. When laminating a document much smaller than the film, place the document in the center of the film for better lamination result.

3. Please set the pressure lever in the open position if the laminator will be idle for more than a few minutes. Leaving the rollers closed under full pressure without turning for more than a few minutes may damage the hot roller.

10. USING CROSS CUTTER

The cross cutter is located on the rear exit table of the machine.

1. After lamination, move the cutter approximately to the center of the completed application at the desired point of detachment (Figure 1).

2. Grasp film with one hand, press the cutter downward into the application and slide it first to one end of the application, then to the other end to complete the cut (Figure 2 & 3).

11. MAINTENANCE

Figure 3

Cleaning the Body of the laminator

To clean the machine body, dampen a cloth with water only and gently wipe the machine clean.

2. Use a hard rubber block(crepe rubber or sandpaper belt disc cleaning block)

3.

Rub firmly but do not scrub the roller vigorously as this may cause scratch the surface.

4. Do not use any sharp objects, steel, wool or abrasive, as these may damage the rollers

NOTE: Adhesive removes easily when hot. Please use caution when cleaning hot rollers
