HOT LAMINATING
1.Turn on the machine, set the RUN / STOP switch to STOP, set the HOT /
COLD switch to HOT. The machine begin heating. Turn the temperature knob to
the temperature for whatever film is being used.
2.The laminator will be ready to operation in about 10 minutes.
1) Trial lamination
If the roll film is the first time to be used, the trial lamination is required for
perfect result. After the true temperature of the roller reach to the set temperature,
close the rollers with the knob on the right side of the laminator, set the FWD /
REV switch to FWD and set the RUN / STOP switch to RUN, let at least 250mm
of film go through the rollers before inserting the items to be laminated.
Examine the film coming out the back of machine.
Adjust the machine according to the above instructions until you have the
perfect lamination result.
2) After the trial lamination has a satisfied result, position the feed guides
according to the width of the item to be laminated, entering the item in the web
of film.
Remind: keep clear and enough space behind the machine, so that the
laminated item can come out easily, it will not wind onto the rubber roller. If
the machine is stopped for a long period, set the temperature decreased by
5-10this will prolong the work-life of the machine.
Stop the machine after the item to be laminated pass through the roller
completely, otherwise there will be an imprint on the item.

Temperature setting
Normally, your film supplier should provide the information about the film
application temperatures and operating characteristics. If you do not know the
source of your film, or if the supplier cannot provide the information, please try
the temperature and speed until you have the best result.
COLD LAMINATING
1.Set the HOT / COLD switch to COLD.
2.Set the speed to the required speed.
3.Put the document on the feed table.
4.Set the FWD / REV switch to FWD and set the RUN / STOP switch to RUN.
5.Stop the machine after the document to be laminated pass through the roller
completely, otherwise there will be an imprint on the document.
CAUTION:The adhesive side must face away from the roller.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Do not laminate the metal or other hard items in case the damage of the rubber
rollers.
While stop the laminating, lift the top rubber roller with the knob on the right
side of the machine. Do not press the rubber roller in case the rubber become
stiff and thus shorten its work-life.
Cleaning the machine timely will help prevent dirt or adhesive build-up on the
rubber rollers and will improve the performance of the unit.
CLEANING THE RUBBER ROLLERS
During the normal lamination, excess adhesives from the film will often cling to
the rubber rollers.
To clean the rubber rollers, lift the rubber roller, remove the film from the
machine first, heat up the machine to 30-40 . The warm roller enable it
easier to remove the adhesive built-up on the rollers. Raise the safety shield
and take out the feed table. Using a clean, soft, ethanol dampened cloth,
gently rub the adhesive off the rollers.
CAUTION:Never use any abrasive or sharp metal material or rub too hard
on the roller, because you may damage the rubber surface.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Set the speed at minimum speed, press the LOAD button, the roller will run,
cleans the roller. After cleaning, position the feed table and slide on the
safety shield.
CAUTION:If the film gets wrapped around the roller, set the RUN/STOP
switch to STOP immediately, set the HOT / COLD switch to COLD.
WARNING:Do not use any cleaning solution to clean the roller, because
some solutions may burn on the hot roller. After the roller cool down, cut
the film on the top and bottom, just in front of the stabilizer bars. Reverse
the roller at a very low speed and allow the machine to back out the film that
is wrapped around the rolls, pull the film off the roller. Clean the adhesive
on the roller.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Please read this section before you have a problem
PROBLEM:No power is getting to the machine.
SOLUTION:Make sure there is power at the electrical outlet being used, and
make sure both ends of the power cord are firmly engaged.
The laminator equipped with three fuses (one is located next to the power switch,
the other two are located under the bottom of laminator). Please check these
fuses.
PROBLEM:Wrinkling of the film around the material being laminated.
SOLUTION:This is normal and inevitable on any laminator, especially with
thicker material. These wrinkles will be trimmed away with the scrap, so they do
not affect appearance. Because the rollers are being held apart by the paper, they
cannot pull equally on the plastic around the paper. This creates wrinkles that
tend to look like the bow waves of a boat, radiating out through the clear part of
the web from the sheet of material.
PROBLEM:When two pieces of material are laminated side by side, the plastic
adhesive to one piece but not the other.
SOLUTION:To get maximum efficiency from the film rolls, you can feed
several items into the laminator side by side. However, wrinkling can occur if
these items are of unequal thickness, because the laminating rollers are lifted off
the thinner items by the thicker items. When laminating items side by side, it is
important to arrange them so that the thickness is the same.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
PROBLEM: Film gets wrapped around the laminating rollers while hot
laminating.
SOLUTION:The film is threaded improperly. If the adhesive side face to the
roller, the film will be wrapped around the rollers. Thread the film in proper
position.
The laminating temperature is too high, the film will be melted and wrapped
around the roller. Decrease the laminating temperature.
Set the RUN / STOP switch to STOP immediately, set the HOT / COLD switch
to COLD. After the roller cool down, cut the film on the top and bottom, just in
front of the stabilizer bars Reverse the roller at a very low speed and allow the
machine to back out the film that is wrapped around the rolls, pull the film off
the roller.PROBLEM: Wrinkling of the plastic on a laminated material.
SOLUTION:Check the tension of the film, make sure the film is threaded
properly (see film threading).
PROBLEM:Film is not properly adhered.
SOLUTION: The laminating temperature is too low, there is not enough
heat for melting the adhesive. Increase the laminating temperature.
PROBLEM: The laminated material seems to have a irregular surface that
does not match the texture of the paper being coated.
SOLUTION:This is usually caused by adhesive build-up or dirt on the
rubber rollers. Inspect the rubber rollers and clean it.
Damages to the rubbers can also cause irregularities in the surface of the
film.
PROBLEM:General haziness or cloudiness in the film after lamination.
SOLUTION:Increase the temperature or decrease the speed. That
cloudiness is a function of incomplete adhesion. On a variable speed
machine loaded with thicker film, it may be that the film is being run too
fast.
