DO NOT TOUCH.
If reloading lm, cut the remaining top and bottom lm
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 Teon coating on the heat shoe.
Change the top and bottom supply roll at the same time.
3. Raise the four lm holder levers and remove old
rolls of lm.
4. Install new lm 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 lm.
Unwind top and bottom lm rolls allowing enough
slack for threading. Drape the lm from lower
supply roll over the heat shoes allowing enough
slack to reinstall the feed table/idler bar. Thread
lm from upper roll under the idler bar and drape
over the heat shoes.
6. Close the four lm 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
o and cold. Once complete, turn the machine on
and allow it to warm up before proceeding to steps
9 and 11.

(provided with new rolls of GBC laminating lm) on
the feed table, gently pushing the lm into the nip
rollers. The Threading card should now be guiding
both rolls of lm through the laminator.
10. Press the STOP button when the threading card
exists the rear of the laminator.
