1. Adjust the roller tension to “Laminating” for regular
laminating jobs. (2nd to the last slot)
2. When not in use, make sure tension is set at
“Standby” or zero tension.
IMPORTANT: The machine has relatively large
rollers to help ensure top-quality laminating results
therefore it may require some force to move the lever
for lamination. To release, push down slightly before
pulling it out so that the handle will not “pop out” of the
slot.
1. Adjust to the adequate tension setting with the tension knob. If the tension is too tight, the
film can get too stretched.
2. Disengage the rollers with Roller Gap Lever and adjust to Standby when not in use. This
will help prevent the machine from overheating.
3. Make sure the rollers are always clean. Operating with one roll of laminating film or when
the upper and lower film are not properly aligned may leave melted resin on the rollers
which may result in poor lamination results. Watch our for dust and any kind of unwanted
particles that may affect your lamination..
4. Be sure to turn off the laminator after use.
