Make sure the film is threaded properly (see 5-2 Threading the Laminator).
Problem: Film gets wrapped around the pull rollers.
Solution: Wile threading a laminator when the shoes are cold, the loose ends of the
unlaminated web are particularly susceptible to “wrap-around” on the rear rollers. To
minimize this possibility, pull the threading card after it emerges from the pull rollers
until the film clears. Stop the web and trim the film from the back of the unit.
If “wrap-around” does occur while the laminator is cold, you can easily correct it by
reversing the direction of the rubber rolls, permitting the laminator to release the film
from the rolls.
Problem: Film gets wrapped around the laminating rollers while the machine is hot.
Solution: Leave the heat on so that the adhesive does not harden, and follow the
following steps.
WARNING: Be very careful not to touch the heat shoes with the machine is hot.
1. Remove the feed tray.
2. Cut the film on the top and bottom, just in front of the idle bars.
3. Loosen the film from the heat shoes and grip the two loose ends, holding them
together.
4. Turn the drive switch to the reverse position.
5. Turn on the drive at a very slow speed and allow the laminator to back out the
film that is wrapped around the rolls. Pull the film off the roller.
WARNING: Keeping the machine in reverse may cause a reverse wrap-around id
the film is not getting pulled off the roller. You may need to pull on the film with a
lot of force while stopping and starting the drive.
WARNING: Do not try to cut the plastic off the roller with a knife or other sharp
instrument. You will end up cutting the rubber rollers and turn an inconvenience
into a major repair bill not covered by warranty.
If this method does not work let the machine fully cool. Remove the heat shoes and cut
the wrap-around off the roller with a small pair of scissors, working the point and the
cutting edges away from the rubber to avoid damaging the roller. Then clean the rollers
per the instructions in the manual.
Problem: Not noticing that the rolls of film are almost used up (one roll of film always
runs out before the other.)
WARNING: If the film is run through the laminator without being matched to an
opposing film, the adhesive exposed to the rubber rollers will stick to the laminating
