Page 8: Loading Film
loadInG FIlm color-coded laminators & film: (For more information on this revolutionary system see the back cover) Select the two rolls of laminating film that you wish to use. Both rolls of film should be of the same size, type and thickness. - Page 9 note: When loading your laminating film, check for film splices. these rolls will be clearly marked. Splices are not common, but are unavoidable. If you find a spliced roll, place it in the top position on the laminator so that the splice can be monitored carefully. When the splice is ready to come through the laminator, turn the drive and heat off, allow the machine to cool, and rotate the roll of film by hand so the film tension is very loose.
- Page 10 thread the top roll of film under the idler roller as shown in the threading diagram on previous page (see Figure 9-4). Pull the film down so that the films lead edge is below the lower heat shoe. next thread the bottom roll of film under the lower idler bar pulling film upward until it is even with the top heat shoe (the film will overlap).

Page 11: Heat Settings
HEat SEttInGS Prior to laminating, allow the machine to pre-heat at least 15 minutes in order to stabilize the temperature. temperature settings depend on the film type being used. the temperature is preset at the factory, but may require adjustment depending on what type of film you are using. turn the heat on by depressing the heat power switch on the left side panel. -
Page 12: Tension
SEttInG tEnSIon to adjust tension for upper and lower rollers, the laminator must be loaded and heated. remove the heat guard and feed tray. loosen both tension control knobs by turning counterclockwise until there is no tension on upper or lower film rolls.

rEmovInG tHE rUBBEr rollErS notE: only remove rollers if they are cut or in poor condition. notE: the following procedure removes all 4 rollers. In certain instances, it is not necessary to remove all 4 rollers, therefore, remove as required. StEP 1: remove all film from laminator. - Page 19 StEP 7: to remove the upper roller, slide the roll shaft out of the roller and then lift the top rubber rollers from the laminator (top laminating roller shown). Photos 19-1 and 19-2 Photo 19-1 StEP 8: loosen the set screws of the lower roller sprockets (laminating roller shown) Photo 19-3.
- Page 20 StEP 11: to install a new roller or replace the original roller, reverse the removal procedure. Be sure to properly reposition the sprockets and align the chain. all three sprockets should be in line with each other. Since the motor sprocket was not removed, use it as a guide for alignment of the pull roll and laminating roll sprockets.

Page 21: Pressure Settings
PrESSUrE the pressure settings for the rubber rollers on USI laminators are preset at the factory and should not require adjusting. In most cases, it is necessary to adjust pressure after the rollers have been removed for service. (Generally this is the only time an adjustment is required.) -
