OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Heat Control
Your new MightyLam 2700 has digital heat controllers for each heat shoe. Users can easily adjust the set
temperature for each heat shoe individually to achieve the best quality lamination. Both controllers have been
calibrated to accurately display the heat shoe temperature in the laminating range.
The heater switch on the right side frame activates both controllers. When the switch is turned on both
controllers will flash a two letter code and then display the heat shoe temperature. When cold, the
temperature displayed on the controllers may be different than the actual ambient temperature to account for
correction in the higher temperature range. When the heater switch is turned on the controller will send
power to the heaters, provided the Set Temperature is higher than ambient temperature. (For safety
reasons, this machine was shipped with the Set Temperature at 250).
When power is being sent to the heaters the controllers will illuminate a small red indicator light in the lower
right hand corner of the display. The light goes out when the Set Temperature is reached. Power to the
heaters cycle on and off when the heat shoe temperature falls below the Set Temperature during lamination
or while sitting idle. The heat indicator light above the heater switch is connected to the top heat shoe only
and indicates when that heat shoe is heating.
Determining and Adjusting the Set Temperature
To determine the Set Temperature, with the heater switch activated and the current temperature displayed,
press and hold down either the up or down arrow for 3-4 seconds. The display will change and flash the Set
Temperature and “SU” alternately. After 10 seconds the display will return to the ambient/heat shoe
temperature.
To change the Set Temperature, depress and hold either arrow down for 3-4 seconds until the Set
Temperature and “SU” flash. Depress and hold the appropriate arrow to raise or lower the setting. The digits
will change slowly initially but will increase speed when held down longer for large changes. When the
desired setting has been reached, depress both arrows simultaneously to save the Set Temperature.
Each time the machine is turned on it will heat up to the last Set Temperature. It is advisable to verify the Set
Temperature when starting to warm up the machine each day.
Forward/Reverse Switch: This three position switch is found on the front of the machine. The switch must
be in the “up” position for forward. When the switch is held in the “down” position, the rollers move in the
reverse direction. This is useful for clearing film from the rollers. When released from the “down” position the
switch returns to a neutral position and must be pushed up for forward.
Fan Switch: This switch turns the fans on and off.
