Hot Lamination

During hot lamination, the laminating pouch is heated to a temperature of up to 105° C as it passes through the laminator rollers. This creates a permanent thermal bonding of the laminated material and the laminating pouch. Hot lamination permanently prevents the laminated material from coming into contact with water, oxygen and bacteria.

Only ever use laminating pouches which are suitable for hot lamination. For an optimum lamination result, we recommend laminating pouches from Olympia Business Systems GmbH which are available from specialist retailers.

1. Set the laminator down on a level, stable working base.

Make sure the On/Off switch is switched to OFF before plugging the laminator into a power socket.

1. Plug the laminator power cable into an easily accessible power socket.
2. Switch the On/Off switch to the setting HOT. The POWER indicator light lights up.
3. The drive motor for rolling starts up. The optimal operating temperature is achieved after approx. 90 seconds and the green READY indicator light lights up.
4. Place the material to be laminated inside the laminating pouch. For an optimal lamination result, leave an all-round spacing of 3 to 5 mm from the edges of the foil.

CAUTION!

• Danger of burns due to hot machine surface!
  →During hot laminating, the machine surface heats up.
  →Do not touch the machine surface during the laminating operation. Wait a few minutes after laminating until the machine has cooled down before you touch it.

If the material to be laminated is not in a standard paper size, also place an insert inside the laminating pouch that corresponds with the paper size of the laminating pouch. Place the material to be laminated at the front edge of the closed end of the laminating pouch.

1. Feed the prepared laminating pouch with the closed side first, keeping it straight, into the infeed of the laminator.

The laminator automatically draws in the laminating pouch and ejects it on the output side. The pouch is very hot and soft when ejected following lamination.

Cold Lamination

For cold lamination, the laminating pouch is coated with a special adhesive. Unlike hot lamination, cold lamination bonds the foil not with heat, but with pressure.

Cold lamination is suitable for non-permanent sealing. The cold laminating pouch can usually be removed from the laminated material without leaving any residues.

1. Set the laminator down on a level, stable working base.

Make sure the On/Off switch is switched to OFF before plugging the laminator into a power socket.

1. Plug the laminator power cable into an easily accessible power socket.
2. Switch the On/Off switch to the setting COLD. The POWER and READY indicator lamp light up.
3. The drive motor for rolling starts up. The laminator is ready for operation.

If you have used the laminator for hot lamination shortly before you want to cold-laminate, let it cool down for around 15 minutes.

1. Remove the protective foil from the laminating pouch.
2. Place the material to be laminated inside the laminating pouch. For an optimal lamination result, leave an all-round spacing of 3 to 5 mm from the edges of the pouch.

If the material to be laminated is not of a standard paper size, also place an insert inside the laminating pouch that corresponds with the size of the laminating pouch. Place the material to be laminated at the front edge of the closed end of the laminating pouch.

1. Feed the prepared laminating pouch with the closed side first, keeping it straight, into the infeed of the laminator.

The laminator automatically draws the laminating pouch in and ejects it on the output side.

Clearing Pouch Jams

If you inadvertently feed the laminating pouch into the laminator at an angle, or if the rollers are soiled with too much residual adhesive, or if you try to laminate unsuitable materials, laminating pouches can jam inside the laminator.

Use the Jam Release function to quickly clear a pouch jam.

1. Switch the On/Off switch to OFF. The POWER and READY indicator lamps go out.
2. Press and hold the Jam Release lever on the rear of the machine to the left. This releases the laminating pouch.

CAUTION!

• Danger of burns due to hot machine surface!
  →During hot laminating, the machine surface heats up.
  →Do not touch the machine surface during laminating operation.

CAUTION!

• Danger of burns due to hot laminating pouch!
