5. Once the heat is turned on, it will stay on until the switch is manually turned off.
There is no automatic shutoff on this machine, except in the case of a blown fuse.
6. When the laminator has reached the set temperature, press the forward drive switch
to the on position. The pull rollers and the laminating rollers should rotate. Insert
the white threading card into the nip (laminating) rollers. Let the threading card pass

laminator.

8. Turn the fan OFF.
9. Turn the heat OFF and unplug the machine.
PLEASE NOTE:
The fans should be turned on for any laminating with 3-mil or thicker film. The Premier
4 is made to run film up to 10 mils thick. Speed must be reduced with thicker film to
insure adequate heating and cooling of the film. The machine's cooling capacity can be
exceeded before its heating capacity, especially if the slitters are being used.
Top speed on the Premier 4 is about 7 feet per minute. When the indicator line on the
speed control is pointing straight up, that's half speed, or about three (3) feet per
minute.
Five feet per minute is a typical speed for running 3-mil or 5-mil film, although either can
be run faster or slower. Thin film (1.5-mil or 1.7-mil) can be run from five to seven feet
per minute, and should not be run slowly. Thicker films (7- or 10-mil) should be run at
two or three feet per minute. Remember to turn on the fans while laminating with 3-mil
and thicker films.
