After you are familiar with the control panels and
their functions, check all operations.
Check the Main Power
• Press the Stand-By switch up and the front and back
displays on the control panels should be lit.
• The center red switch on both top cabinet control panels
should be illuminated.
Check the Emergency Stop Buttons
• Press one of the Emergency Stop buttons and the
laminator will shut down.
• Rotate the Emergency Stop button clockwise to reset.
• Repeat this procedure with all four Emergency Stop
buttons.
Check the Heater Controls
• Press the top heater On/Off button once; the corre-
sponding LED should be lit.
• The readout will display the ambient temperature.
• Press and hold the top heater Up arrow to increase the
temperature set point. Watch the readout for 5 minutes
to verify that the temperature increases.
• Press and hold the Down arrow to decrease the tempera-
ture set point.
• Press the top heater On/Off button again once; the
corresponding LED should not be lit.
• Repeat this procedure for the bottom heater.
Check the Motor and Foot Switches
Check both motor control panels as follows:
• Push the green Motor Forward switch and the rollers
should rotate in the forward direction.
• Press the green Motor Reverse switch and the rollers
should rotate in the reverse direction.
• As you turn the Speed Control knob clockwise the speed
of the rollers should increase and the speed readout (top
display on front and rear control panels) should increase
in number.
• Turning the Speed Control knob counter-clockwise
should decrease the speed of the rollers and the speed
readouts should decrease in number.
• Press the center red Motor Stop switch and the rollers
should stop rotating.
• Press the foot switch and the rollers should rotate in
whichever roller direction that was last pressed. Check
both foot switches for operation.
CHECKING THE ROLLERS
Your laminator has a pneumatic pressure adjustment with
fine-tune control for a smooth, flat finish. Correct adjust-
ment of the pressure rollers’ height is essential for safe and
proper operation. Check this prior to every use.
Check the vertical movement of the top rollers as
follows:
• Press the roller switch UP. The top roller should rise
smoothly and evenly on both ends.
• Press the roller switch DOWN. The top roller should
lower smoothly and evenly on both ends.
• Repeat this procedure for both front and back top
rollers.
IMPORTANT! The silicone covering of the rollers is
soft. Do not scratch the surface with a sharp object or
fingernail.
WARNING! If your laminator does not operate cor-
rectly, contact Technical Service immediately.
