How To Use
- TWO SIDE LAMINATION
Loading The Film
Unpack the upper and lower rods. Remove feed tray. Slide the roll film onto the rods, leaving equal lengths of rod out of each end. Use the guide marks to position the roll of film. Load the rods on the laminator. Note: you cannot interchange the upper and lower rods.
Thread The Film
Read the threading card supplied with each TCC roll of film carefully. Please see the threading card. Do not mistake the re-enforcing bar for idler roller. To thread the film through the "hot' rolls & pull rolls, please pull the handle forward to release pressure on all the rollers. Push the film through the rollers and make sure the film is perfectly aligned at the top and bottom (Note: overlap will cause the film to deposit residue on the hot roll and pull rolls, so this procedure is critical ) .
Heat Adjustment
- After turning on the power switch. Please press the 1 key to start the heat process while the heater light will glow for 1.5 mil. roll-film laminating use .
- The ready light will glow when it reaches the temperature you set, while you can start to
key for 3 mil. roll-film laminating .

(2) ONE SIDE MOUNTING
Loading The Film
Unpack the upper rods, Slide the adapter by film--- adapter---film onto the rods and fit the adapter onto the paper core. Leave equal lengths of the rod out of each end. Use the guide to position the roll of film then tighten the screw on the adapter to secure the roll film. Load the rods on the laminator.
Thread The Film
Read the threading card supplied with each TCC roll of film carefully. Do not mistake the reinforcing bar for idler roller. Please pull the handle forward to release pressure on all the rollers, then thread the film through the upper hot rolls & puil rolls.

Quick start
- Place the laminator: Remove it from the packaging and set it on a flat work surface. Leave room at the back for the finished laminate to slide out.
- Load the film: Slide the roll film onto the upper and lower rods with equal rod length out of each end. Use the guide marks. Load the rods on the laminator. The upper and lower rods cannot be swapped.
- Thread the film: Follow the threading card that comes with the film. Pull the handle forward to release roller pressure. Push the film through the hot rolls and pull rolls and align it at the top and bottom.
- Turn on and set heat: Turn on the power switch. Press the 1 key for 1.5 mil film. Press the 2 key for 3 mil film.
- Wait for ready: The ready light glows when the set temperature is reached. Then you can start laminating.
- Feed the work: Do not push the material in. Slowly slide it toward the laminate until it touches the roller and feeds in on its own. This limits bubbles.
- Set the roller gap for mounting: For one side mounting, push the handle on the right side forward to match the 3/16 inch or 1/2 inch mark for the same size mounting.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Bubbles in the finished laminate | The material was pushed into the laminate. | Slowly slide the material toward the laminate until it touches the roller and feeds in automatically. Page 2 |
| Residue on the hot roll and pull rolls | The film layers overlap. | Make sure the film is perfectly aligned at the top and bottom when threading. Page 3 |
| Film threads incorrectly | The reinforcing bar was mistaken for the idler roller. | Read the threading card supplied with the film. Do not mistake the reinforcing bar for the idler roller. Page 3 |
| Rods will not fit as expected | The upper and lower rods were swapped. | Do not interchange the upper and lower rods. Position the film with equal lengths of rod out of each end. Page 3 |
