Ⅰ. Applications & Characteristics of the LPV1200 DUO SYSTEM
The LPV1200 DUO SYSTEM laminator was designed for lamination of large scale computer
text, drawings and prints. The DUO will perform cold laminating, hot laminating and plastic
packaging. “1200”refers to the maximum width (in mm) of the machine.
This laminator is more applicable for materials of adhesive films and application requirements
during the laminating operation, so that cold and hot adhesive films could be used for the cold
laminating and plastic packaging of large pictures, winding films for continual mounting of text and
drawings while used for continual single and double surface laminating for text and drawings under
high-temperature during the laminating operations.
This type of machine is applicable for various industries, particularly printing, color sprayed
drawings, advertisement manufacturing, etc.
Proper design, simple structure, adjustable temperature/speed and nimble maneuverability make
the LPV1200 DUO SYSTEM the perfect machine to achieve quick and effective mounting,
laminating and plastic packaging.

Ⅱ. Requirements for Uses
This machine should be used in ambient temperatures of 50°F to 105°F.Avoid high
temperatures and humidity.
Storage and transportation temperatures: -68°F - 140°F
Ambient humidity: 40%—70%. Perfect humidity: 55%.
Due to static adherence of adhesive films, the production environments should be kept as
clean as possible.
This machine should only be operated on its own stand.
Operating space: enough space should be kept so as to ensure the secure and effective
application. The recommended minimum operating space for the machine is 10’x 10’.
Do not place this machine in direct sunlight.
Do not leave pictures and articles on, or between the rubber-covered rollers for a longer
period of time after laminating by soft PVC cold mounting film have been completed, so as
to hedge the occurrence of color change of adhesive film.
In case that the machine will be let unused as proposed for a longer period of time after the
laminating is completed, please remove the adhesive film, pictures and articles, and other
materials. Attention shall be paid to avoid the long-term adherence of the adhesive film to
the surface of the rubber-covered roller.
To prevent color change of cold mounting film it is recommended that laminated prints not
be affixed to rubber materials.
It can laminate continuously an object less than 0.47”thick. And for an object over 1/2”but
below 1”, the work can be done by using the pedal switch.

Ⅲ. Safety Indications
Before operation ensure that the voltage of power supply you are using matches rated
working voltage
The power supply wires should be connected with air switches with leakage protection
and the rated current should be 20A or more.
The power supply should be near the machine for convenient use.
The leads and electric components should comply with the power requirements of this machine.
This machine must be grounded to ensure safe use during operations.
No one, except the operator of this machine, is allowed to touch any components or control buttons.
Don’t use damaged wires and sockets with electric leakage. Power supply wires should not be
squeezed or crushed by any hard objects.
If abnormal circumstances occur, shut off the power supply.
This machine is equipped with a heating system. Do not touch the surface of rollers
during operations so as to avoid burns.
When laminating start by operating at a lower speed with the pedal switch.
Keep rigid materials away from the surfaces of the rollers during operations, otherwise the rollers
could be damaged which will adversely affect lamination quality.
During operation, ensure that clothing and hair do not come in contact with the machine.

Ⅲ. Safety Indications (cont’d)
During the laminating operations, please don’t place anything except materials to be laminated on
the machine.Any accidental entanglements will cause damage to rollers or the machine.
Do not attempt to laminate metal materials or other hard objects. Do not put sharp
objects into the machine (for example, tools, rulers and knives, etc.).
To avoid damage to rollers do not cut adhesive films directly on the surfaces of the rollers.
To avoid foot injuries be cautious of the casters.
When service is required no one except professionals, shall open the machine for repairs. Please
send for professionals or local distributors to do the work.
Before repairing any mechanical or electrical problems, first shut off the power supply.
Never adjust or service the machine with the power on.
Shut off this machine soon after laminating is finished.
Unplug the machine if it is not being used for long periods of time and lift up the upper
roller so as to avoid the distortion of roller’s surface.
Do not use corrosive liquids to clean this machine, otherwise the machine or rollers could be
damaged. Use only alcohol and a soft dry cloth to wipe the surfaces of the rollers.

Ⅴ. Control Panel
●The control board and display are located on the right side of the machine. These functions
include motor speed regulating, forward/reverse rotation, upper roller heating, lower roller heating
and continue/step conversion setting.
●The roller temperature controls have switches. When turned counterclockwise the roller stops
heating; when turned clockwise the rollers will heat.
●The two digital display screens show the temperature of the rollers.
●When the machine is connected to power and switched on the power indicator lights up.
●Upper roller heating indicator and lower roller heating indicator are “Red”during heating and
“Green”when fully heated.
●The speeds of roller rotation can be adjusted with the speed control.
●Roller direction can be exchanged by pressing the Forward / Reverse button.
●The pedal switch can be used with the switch in “STEP”mode.
