Film Loading and Threading
Follow the below procedures to remove the feed table
and Heat Shield.
1. Slide the feed table latch to the left.
2. Remove the heat shield by sliding it to the left
or right and lifting it up and away from the
laminator. Lift the feed table upwards and
away from the laminator.
CAUTION: HEAT SHOES COULD BURN YOU.
DO NOT TOUCH.
If reloading film, cut the remaining top and bottom film
webs between the supply rolls and heat shoes. Be
careful to not scratch the heat shoes. Remove the old
rolls and check the heat shoes for adhesive residue. Any
residue can be easily removed by wiping the heat shoe
with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive, as it
will damage the Teflon coating on the heat shoe.
Change the top and bottom supply roll at the same time.
3. Raise the four film holder levers and remove
old rolls of film.
4. Install new film rolls making sure that color and
diameter of end pugs correspond to the size of
the holder and color sticker located on the side
plate of the laminator.
5. Refer to the Threading Guide located on the
side panel for illustration of properly loaded
film. Unwind top and bottom film rolls allowing
enough slack for threading. Drape the film
from lower supply roll over the heat shoes
allowing enough slack to reinstall the feed
table/idler bar. Thread film from upper roll
under the idler bar and drape over the heat
shoes.
6. Close the four film holder levers.
7. Reinstall feed table and heat shield and slide
feed table latch to the right.
8. Complete above steps 1-7 while the machine is
off and cold. Once complete, turn the machine
on and allow it to warm up before proceeding
to steps 9-11.
9. Press the RUN button. Slide the threading card
(provided with new rolls of GBC laminating film)
on the feed table, gently pushing the film into
the nip rollers. The Threading card should now
be guiding both rolls of film through the
laminator.
10. Press the STOP button when the threading card
exists the rear of the laminator.
CAUTION:
11. The film cutter may be used to separate the
laminated items. Position the cutter on either
side of the laminator, depress the cutter
handle, and slide the cutter across the film.
