Turn the laminator on and select speed ‘1’.
Slide the threading card (provided with new rolls of GBC film)
on the feed table, gently pushing the film into the nip rollers
(see Figure 7). The threading card should now be guiding
both rolls of film through the laminator.
Push the ‘stop’ button when the threading card exits the rear
of the laminator.
Make sure the top and bottom rolls of film are aligned.
Misalignment will cause adhesive to contaminate the
heat shoes. Adjust alignment if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not reach over the laminator
to operate the film cutter.
The Film Cutter may be used to separate the laminated items.
Position the cutter on either side of the laminator, depress the
cutter’s handle while sliding the cutter across the film.
Allow the laminator to remain powered if it is anticipated that the
machine will be used within two hours.
The attached power cord can be disconnected from the receptacle
when the laminator will not be used for long periods of time.
Laminating Tips
Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal items such as staples
or paper clips as they will damage the heat shoes and rollers.
Do not force items into the nip area of the pull rollers. An item that
is not easily drawn into the laminator by the pull rollers is probably
too thick to laminate.
Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to reposition an item
once it has been grasped by the rollers.
Do not stop the laminator before an item has completely exited
the pull rollers. Even a momentary stop will cause a mark
(heat line) to appear on the laminated item.
The top and bottom rolls of laminating film must be of the same
width and be present simultaneously. A small amount of adhesive
will “squeeze out” during lamination. Hardened adhesive deposits
can damage the heat rollers.
Adhesive will deposit on the rollers if:
- Only one roll is used.
- Different widths of rolls are loaded together.
- Either roll is loaded adhesive side against a heat roller.
-One or both rolls of film are allowed to run completely off the cores.
