LSI EZ-LAM 27" School Budget Roll Laminator

Congratulations on your purchase of the new EZ-Lam School Budget Laminator. This unit is designed to provide years of trouble-free service. The EZ-School Budget has a digital heat controller. Users can easily adjust the set temperature to achieve the best quality lamination. The controller has been calibrated to accurately display the temperature in the laminating range. The heater switch on the right side cover activates the controller. When the switch is turned on, the controller will flash a two-letter code and then display the heated roller temperature. When the switch is on, the controller will send power to the heaters, provided the set temperature is higher than the ambient temperature. For safety reasons, the machine was shipped with the set temperature at 250-degrees Fahrenheit. To set the temperature on the controller, press and hold the appropriate arrow until the desired temperature is reached. Then press both arrows to save the setting. The motor switch has on and off positions. Before we can laminate, we’ll need to load the rolls of film on to the machine.

The following instructions apply to polyene film rolls. These rolls have the shiny side out and the dull side in. Turn on the heater switch to allow the heated rollers to heat up. Remove the feed table. Load the top supply roll. Slide the film mandrel into the roll of film. Use the grooves in the mandrel to line up the edges of the film roll. If you are facing the front of the laminator, the film should unwind towards you from the bottom of the roll. Place the mandrel ends into the slots in the side plates of the laminator. Pull 6 inches to 12 inches of film from the roll. Pass the film under the upper idler bar and drape over the heated rollers. Make sure the shiny side of the film is against the rollers. For the bottom supply roll, slide the film mandrel into the roll of film. If you’re facing the front of the laminator, the film should unwind away from you from the bottom of the roll. Place the mandrel ends into the slots in the side plates of the laminator. Pull 6 inches to 12 inches of film from the roll. Pass the film under the lower idler bar and over the front of the top film and the heated rollers. Since the heated rollers are hot, the lower film will adhere to the top film. Turn the motor switch to the on position and feed your starter card through the front rollers. Check to make sure the card runs completely through the back rollers. If the film is wrinkled, adjust the tension on the rollers by turning the mandrel tension adjustment knob clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease until the film passes through the heated rollers without wrinkles and the film between the laminating and pull rollers is right. Return the feed table to its proper position. Make sure the paper guide on the feed table is located so that the right edge of the item will enter the laminator at the desired position. The machine is now ready to begin laminating. Simply feed your documents into the laminator one at a time, allowing enough space between documents for trimming.

When you’re done laminating, turn the motor switch to off and use the supplied zippy cutter to cut off the laminated documents. Unloading the film is the reverse of loading it. Place the safety shield in the up position. Remove the feed table. Use the zippy cutter to cut the film between the bottom supply roll and the heated roller. Cut the film between the top supply roll and the heated roller. Grab the top and bottom film with one hand and pull towards yourself while reversing the motor. The power fuse is located at the rear of the machine. Remove the fuse holder, remove the fuse, replace with a fresh 15-Amp fuse.
