4. Pull 6"-12" of film from the bottom roll. Pass it under the lower idler bar and drape the film from
the bottom roll over the film from the top roll. Since the rollers are hot the bottom film will adhere
to the top film. See Figure 5 below.
Note: The shiny side of the film must always go against the rollers.
Caution:
The rollers reach a temperature of up to 300°F.
Do not touch the surface of the heated rollers.

Motor Switch off.
8. Insert the Feed Table onto the studs located on each side of the unit, between the rollers.

Adjusting Mandrel/Film Tension...
Each type of laminating film has different characteristics and may require laminator adjustment.
The tension should be set so that the film moves over the rollers without dimples as the film
enters the laminator. Best results are obtained if tension adjustments are made while the unit is
at operating temperature. If any adjustments are required use the following procedure:
1. Press the Motor switch to on.
