you will hear a beep.
5. Press the button. The rollers should begin to turn, if they do not turn 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 set the document guides in position.
8. Set document on the table. You should allow at least 5mm(1/4") space on each
side for perfect lamination.
9. Press the button when lamination is competed.
10.Turn on the switch in the right cover of rewinder device if you want to wind the

9.1. HOT LAMINATING
9. LAMINATING STEPS

14
—Useful Information —
1. You can preset up to 9 temperature and speed settings in the memory for faster
easier use.
2. When laminating continuously "WAIT" may appear on the display, if this occurs
lower the speed by 1 increment, "READY" should appear and you may continue
laminating.
3. When laminating a document much smaller than the film, place the document in
the center of the film for better lamination results.
4. When laminating at high temperatures (> 248°F/120°C) you may want to press
the FAN button to allow the cooling fan to cool the document being laminated.
5. When laminating continuously High Temperature may appear,if this ocuurs
lower the speed or lower the temperature or stop for a minuate.
6. Please set the pressure lever into the open location if you want to stop the
machine for a little long time. Because there must appear high temperature in
the line between the touch two hot roller. And this can distroy your lamination
and cause damage to the roller.

illustration 6.2 on page 7.
2. Pull COLD film and fix it so that the Release Liner can be wound on take-up
mandrel clockwise. (Revolve core to make Release Liner a little tight)
3. Set pressure lever to the proper position according to your laminating condition.
4. After pressing the button, choose and
set proper speed by using the and button.
5. It is when ready is dispalyed
on the screen and beeps three times.
6. Turn on the take up device and set the
proper film tension by pressing the"RUN "
button. Lower tension would make better
operation.
7. Center the document on the table.For
ease and convenience set the document
guides in position
8. Press the"RUN "button and "take up
motor" at the same time.The liner and film
will roll at the same time.
9. When lamination is completed, press the button.
10.Turn on the switch in the right cover of rewinder device if you want to wind the
finished lamination. That you can control the rewinder device by the switch only
when the machine is in running state.
11. Set pressure lever at the "OPEN" mode.
12. Turn off the power switch.

10. USING CROSS CUTTER
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)
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
The cross cutter is located on the rear exit table of the machine.

11. USING SLITTER (Only for the model with slitter)
Only the RSR & RSS series have slitters included
1. Adjust the left and/or right slitters by loosening the
slitter adjuster knob (located between the front and
rear rollers.) (Figure 1)
2. Activate the slitter by turning the slitter knob (located
on the left side of the machine) clockwise. (Figure 2)
3. Once you activate the slitter then you can begin
lamination. (Figure 3)
4. To deactivate the slitter turn the slitter knob
counterclockwise. (Figure 4)
NOTE: When the slitter becomes dull break off the
blade. Loosen the screw to pull down a new blade.
Once the new blade is down tighten the screw.
(Figure.5 )
CAUTION
When the slitters are not in use please keep the slitters positioned at the
