Safety Instructions
v Please ensure that the voltages and phase of the power supply you are using match with the rated working voltages before
operating the system.
v The power supply should be close to the system for convenient use.
v The power supply should provide a reliable protective earthing connection.
v This system must be earthed reliably as to ensure the safety of the system during operation.
v Only the operators of this system should operate the electrical or mechanical components/controls.
v Please don’t use damaged wires or sockets.
v Please keep children away from touching or operating this system.
v Please do not spray any liquids or cleaning products directly onto the system, this can cause a machine fault or electrical
shock.
v During use please take care that no clothes, neckties, hair or jewellery etc are not overhanging near the system otherwise
injuries can occur.
v Please don’t put burrs, sharp blades or thick rigid materials on, into or near any component especially rubber parts to
avoid damage.
v Please shut down the system after laminating/foiling to avoid misuse.
v At the end of each laminating /foiling job or the end of the working day always gape (lift up) the pneumatic rollers to
avoid flat spots and distortions of the rubber.
v If the system needs to be moved, please turn of the power to the system and unplug from the socket.
v Please be aware of the location of the wheels while moving the system as to avoid damage to any cables nearby and
personal injuries.
v Always ensure the system is positioned on a flat and level floor.
v Please be cautious of the foot pedal and cable position when operating or moving the system.
v Only set the temperature to 80oC when first switched on as the temperature is designed to overshoot to maintain the heat
on the first run.
Environmental Requirements
v Ambient room temperature 10oC – 60oC / 50oF – 140OF, humidity 30% - 80%, ideal humidity 55%.
v Do not place the system below air conditioning units, drafts, external doorways and windows as this can affect the
accuracy of the temperature sensors.
v Due to the static adherence of the film, you should keep the environment clean from dust. A dust cover is provided with
the system.
v Please do not keep the system in direct sunlight.
v Enough space should be kept around the system to ensure safe operation. The minimum holding areas are 2.5m x 3m/8ft
x 10ft.

Single-sided Laminating
1. Turn the power on. 2. Set paper length (exclude the desired overlap i.e. 450gsm = 445mm) and set
temperature to 80oC.
3. Remove film mandrel off the system and loosen the core collar using the blue 5mm Allen key provided (3.3)
4. Slide film onto the mandrel and centralize (4.1). Replace the core adaptor and tighten. Place the mandrel back onto the system
and tighten the mandrel lock (4.3).
5. Ensure the film feeds from the bottom (5.1) of the roll and mechanical anti-curl is set to zero (5.2). Remove safety guard (5.3).

6. Place a plain thick (i.e.300gsm) card into the back of the machine (6.1) taking care to go the middle of every roller (6.2) until
reaching the feed gate (6.3), then place another plain card and cover the top laminating roller (6.4).
7. If you have a metallic model, please ensure the two idle bars are used (7.1). Holding the corners of the film (7.2), thread under
the patterned idle bar (7.3) and place back onto the film roll (7.4). Remove the card covering the roller (7.5). Now is the time to
clean the roller if there is any glue or marks. For a chrome roller we recommend using Amberklene ME-20 heavy duty solvent
(7.6) and for rubber rollers use the Amberclens anti-static foaming cleaner (7.7). When using the cleaner please spray into a
cloth/paper towel away from the machine, then apply to the roller.
