IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This safety alert symbol precedes any safety message in this manual. This
symbol indicates a potential safety hazard that could hurt you or others, as well
as result in product and/or property damage. Please read carefully.
Do not attempt to service or otherwise repair this laminator. Please have it
serviced by a qualified service professional.
Do not connect the laminator to an electrical supply or attempt to operate the
laminator until you have completely read these instructions.
INTRODUCTION
Running the machine in reverse when there is film on the front rollers, especially
hot film can cause a wrap-around. This can cause the film to displace the
temperature sensor away from the roller causing the heat controller to receive
and display an incorrect reading. This may result in overheating of the rollers
and possibly damage.
Before reversing the machine to remove a wrap-around, cut the film from the
supply roll and pull the film away from the front rollers.
To avoid any damage, please do not use razors or sharp objects near the rollers.
It is best to not leave machine on when not in use or turn the heat down to
prolong the life of the rollers and avoid damage.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
For your protection, do not connect the laminator to electrical power or attempt to operate it
until you read these instructions completely. Keep these instructions in a convenient location
for future reference. This instruction manual and labels affixed to the laminator are important
safety messages. Read these messages carefully.
• Use this laminator only for its intended purposes as according to the specifications
outlined in this instruction manual.
• Keep hands, long hair, loose clothing and articles such as ties and necklaces away from
the pull rollers.
• Avoid contact with heated rollers during operation and shortly after operations as heated
rollers can reach temperatures in excess of 300°F and can cause burns. Allow the rollers
to cool before touching.
• Place laminator on a sturdy cart, stand, or table. A laminator placed on an unstable
surface may fall, causing serious bodily injury. Move laminator with caution. Quick stops,

• Do not overload electrical outlets beyond their capacity as this can result in fire or
electrical shock. This unit is rated at 15A and should be the only item plugged into a
15A. When connected to a 20A branch, any items in addition to the Laminator must not
exceed 4A.
• Adjust only those controls that are specified in these Operating Instructions.
INITIAL SETUP
7
Heat Shield: Protects against accidental contact with heated rollers
Feed Table: Surface used to position documents to be laminated
Supply Mandrels: Metal rods that hold film supply rolls in place; two rolls of laminating film with the
same width must be present while laminating; failing to do so will result in damage to the machine
Supply Mandrel Washers: Ensures that film is securely in place on the supply mandrel
Heated Rollers: Silicon rubber coated steel rollers that simultaneously compress and heat the adhesive
of laminating film onto the document as it passes through the laminator.
Pull Rollers: Located at the rear of the laminator; these rollers pull the laminated document through
the laminator.
Tension Adjustment Knobs: Screws located near the supply roll that when tightened increase tension.
Rubber Foot: Provides nonslip grip for laminator
Idler Bars: Located close to supply rolls; used to direct film to heated rollers
Rear Horizontal Trimmer: Used to trim lamination after it exits the rear of the laminator; trimmer
contains a sharp blade and must be used with caution; only on the Deluxe and Professional models
Power On/Off Switch: Located in the rear of the machine; flip switch to “ON” position to power on
laminator

HEAT CONTROL
Your new Element Series Laminator has a digital heat controller. Users can easily adjust the set
temperature for the heated rollers to achieve the best quality lamination. The controller has been
calibrated to accurately display the roller temperature in the laminating range.
The laminating temperature should be adjusted according to the film thickness and the item being
laminated. See Table 1 below for recommended temperature settings. Keep in mind that the
temperatures listed in the table below are approximate, and different brands of laminating film may
require different temperatures. Always set your machines temperature according to the film
manufacturers’ recommendation.
When power is being sent to the heaters, the green ready light indicator will come on 10F degrees
earlier before set temperature, this is normal, and the unit will be ready to run application thru. Power
to the heaters will cycle when the roller temperature falls below the set temperature during laminating
or while sitting idle. Temperature fluctuation is normal. [Note: As items pass through the laminator,
heat is transferred from the rollers to the laminated document causing fluctuations in temperature.
These fluctuations will cause the indicator light to flash as the machine requires more heat to reach the
set temperature.]
SET TEMPERATURE
Each time the machine is turned on it will by default go to “COLD” setting and displays a temperature of
32°F. Press the “HOT” button which will turn the machines heaters on and begin to heat to the preset
temperature of 230°F. To change the set temperature, use the temperature control buttons to increase
and decrease the temperature; press the “▲” to increase the temperature; press “▼” to decrease the
temperature. The digits will change slowly initially but will increase speed when held down longer for
large changes. When the desired setting has been reached, release the button. [To determine the actual
roller temperature at any given time, simply hold down the “MEAS” button, and the temperature
readout will display the current roller temperature.]
Important Notes:
Overheat Display “O-H”: the temperature readout display may show an abbreviation for overheat
momentarily should the rollers’ surface temperature becomes too hot (above 305°F degrees) when
temperature is set above 275°F & above. This is normal and it usually happens during the last phase of
initial warm up time but will eventually drop down and the display will show the set temperature again.
Auto shut off “pof”: certain models feature an auto shut off option and it will cut off power to the
heaters if the machine is set idle for more than two hours. To regain power, the “RUN” must be pressed,
and the readout display will show the set temperature again.

RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE AND SPEED
The following chart has recommended temperature and speed settings using standard laminating film.
Please check the specifications on your film for proper melting temperatures.
Material Temperature Range Speed
1.5 mil (.0015”) (standard LDPE/school film) 265°F - 275°F 2-5
3 mil (.003”) (standard LDPE/school film) 265°F - 275°F 2-5
3 mil (.003”) (low melt EVA film) 260°F - 270°F 2-5
5mil (.005”) (low melt EVA film) 250°F - 260°F 2-3
10mil (.010”) (low melt EVA film) 260°F - 270°F 1-2
This section describes the operation of the laminator. This laminating is designed for all widths of
laminating film up to 27”. However, if narrower widths are used, the rollers must be cleaned before
using a wider roll. Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
Prior to using your laminator, ensure that the POWER ON/OFF SWITCH located in the rear of the
machine is switched to the ‘ON’ position.
LOADING LAMINATING FILM ONTO MANDRELS
Slide the film onto the mandrel. Make sure the film is pushed all the over the supply mandrel washers;
this will ensure that the film will not shift during laminating. Remove the film in the same direction. Do
not to twist the roll of film or the empty core when removing them from the mandrel.
