Frequently Asked Questions - ULG 350 A1 LAMINATOR UNITED OFFICE

How to use hot lamination?

Set the selector to HOT and choose the pouch thickness (80 or 125 microns) with the switch. Wait for the green "Ready" indicator to light up. Insert the document into a suitable pouch, then feed it into the front slot, closed edge first, guiding it straight.

How to use cold lamination?

Set the selector to COLD and set the thickness switch to 125 microns. The green indicator lights up immediately. Use only pouches designed for cold lamination.

What pouch thickness should I choose?

For standard documents, use 80 microns pouches. For photos or better rigidity, choose 125 microns in HOT position. For cold lamination, always set to 125 microns, even if the pouch is thinner.

What to do if the pouch gets stuck or fed crookedly?

Turn the ABS (Anti-Jam Switch) to the ABS position. The machine stops. Gently remove the pouch, then set the switch back to the desired thickness and restart.

Can I laminate thick documents?

The total thickness (document + pouch) must not exceed 1.0 mm. Beyond that, the pouch may jam and damage the device.

How to clean the internal rollers?

After use, insert an A4 sheet folded in half (without pouch) into the front slot, fold first. Dirt transfers to the sheet. Repeat until the sheet comes out clean.

How long does it take for the device to heat up?

The green "Ready" indicator lights up after approximately 2 to 3 minutes. For uniform results with thin pouches, wait an additional 2-3 minutes after it lights up.

Can I use pouches from other brands?

Yes, as long as they are designed for hot or cold lamination and meet the dimensions (max width 230 mm, max thickness 125 microns for hot, 200 microns for cold). The included pouches are for hot use only.

How to use the cutting function?

Remove the pouch guide, lower the cutting accessory to level, then raise the cutting rail. Place the document against the format stops, lower the rail and slide the knife in one motion. Capacity: up to 3 sheets of 80 g/m².

What to do if the machine does not turn on?

Check that the power cord is properly plugged in and that the mains socket works. Make sure the selector is on HOT or COLD (middle position = off). If the problem persists, contact customer service.

5. Safety instructions

• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiencies in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the appliance is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Unplug the power cable after every use and before cleaning, so as to prevent the appliance from inadvertently switching itself on.
• Check the appliance and all parts for visible damages. The safety concept can work only if the appliance is in a faultless condition.
• Never perform hot lamination on flammable, heat-sensitive and/or meltable materials and do not laminate drawings on temperature-sensitive paper or material that will undergo changes in colour or quality when subjected to heat.

• Never laminate valuable or unique documents. Although the laminator satisfies all predominant safety norms and standards, errors can never be completely discounted - as with all electrical appliances. Errors with the laminator can result in damage to the document being laminated.

• Do NOT laminate any document which, together with the laminating pouch, would have a thickness of more than 1,0 ~mm . Should you do so, the laminating pouch could cant itself inside the laminating appliance. This would damage the laminating pouch, the document being laminated as well as the laminator.

• Do not use an extension cable. Place the appliance where the mains power socket is easily accessible, so that in the event of an emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance.
• Place the appliance where the power wall socket is easily accessible, so that in the event of an emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn.

Risk of electrical shock!

• Connect the appliance to a mains power socket with a mains voltage of 220 - 240V 50Hz
• Do not take the appliance into use if the power cable or the plug is damaged.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
• NEVER immerse the appliance in water. Wipe it only with a damp cloth.
• Do not expose the appliance to rain and never use it in a humid or wet environment.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet during operation.
• Unplug the appliance immediately after use. The appliance is free of electricity only when you remove the plug from the mains power socket.
• Do not open the housing or attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Should you do so, device safety can no longer be assured and the warranty will become void.

Risk of fire!

• Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of hot surfaces.
• Do not place the appliance at locations exposed to direct sunlight.

This could lead to overheating and cause irreparable damage.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• NEVER cover the ventilation slits on the top of the appliance while it is switched on.

RISK OF INJURY!

• Keep children away from the connecting cable and the appliance. Children frequently underestimate the dangers of electrical devices.
• Ensure that the appliance stands with a safe and secure positioning.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has sustained a fall or is damaged. Arrange for the appliance to be checked and, if necessary, repaired by a qualified expert.
• Some parts of the appliance become very hot during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch these parts.

6. Suitable laminating pouches

• For hot lamination you can use pouches with a width of up to 230mm and a maximum thickness of 125 micron.
• Please note that each laminating pouch may only be used once.

For hot lamination, use only laminating pouches that are expressly designated for hot lamination.
For cold lamination, use only laminating pouches that are expressly designated for cold lamination.
Take note that the laminating pouches included with the laminator are intended exclusively for hot lamination.

7. Operating levels

Position of selector switch ⑧	Position of pouch thickness switch ⑨	Laminating foil thickness
HOT	80	>60 - 80
HOT	125	85 - 125
Cold	125	to 200

Tip: For high-gloss photos, you should select the switch position "125" as well as the appropriate pouch thickness.

8. Preparing for hot lamination

Insert the pouch guide 1 into the holes provided on the rear of the laminator.
If not already done, fold the trimming attachment 2 down.
Pull the document support 1 out, so that the document can be pulled in straight into the slot for manual pouch input 5.
Insert the laminator plug into a mains power socket.
Ensure the appliance has a stable positioning.
Switch the appliance on by placing the selector switch for hot and cold lamination 8 at "HOT". The red ON/OFF indicator lamp 1 6 now glows.

Activate the pouch thickness switch 9 only when the appliance is switched on. Otherwise, the appliance could be irreparably damaged.

Place the pouch thickness switch 9 at the desired pouch thickness (80 or 125 micron). The laminator now heats itself up to the operating temperature.
The laminator has reached its operating temperature as soon as the green LED indicator light "Ready" OK glows.

① Attainment of the operating temperature is indicated by the lighting up of the green LED indicator lamp "Ready" OK 7. For a more uniform laminating result we recommend, especially for thinner foils (below 125 Micron) and after adjustment to a different foil thickness, to first wait an additional 2-3 minutes before beginning with lamination.

Lay the document to be laminated into a laminating pouch of the appropriate size.
① Make certain that all corners of the document have at least two millimetres of space to the edge of the laminating pouch, as shown in Fig. 1. Make certain that you use only one pouch for laminating. First open it up, as shown in Fig. 2.

For information about the lamination process, please read section 10.

Fig. 2

9. Preparing for cold lamination

If you have previously performed hot lamination:
After hot laminating, allow the laminator to cool down completely before beginning with cold lamination. Remember, the rollers inside the laminator will still be hot. These can damage the laminating pouch and the document to be laminated!
Insert the pouch guide 1 into the holes provided on the rear of the laminator.
If not already done, fold the trimming attachment 2 down.
Pull the document support 10 out, so that the document can be pulled in straight into the slot for manual pouch input 5.
Insert the laminator plug into a mains power socket.
Ensure the appliance has a stable positioning.

① Hinweis: For cold lamination, ALWAYS place the pouch thickness switch 9 at 125 microns.
Switch the appliance on by placing the selector switch for hot and cold lamination 8 at "COLD". The red ON/OFF indicator lamp 6 and the green indicator lamp "Ready" OK now glow.
Lay the document to be laminated into a laminating pouch of the appropriate size.
Make certain that all corners of the document have at least two millimetres of space to the edge of the laminating pouch, as shown in Fig. 1.
Make certain that you use only one pouch for laminating. First open it up, as shown in Fig. 2.
For information about the lamination process, please read section 10.

10. Lamination process

Lay the laminating pouch onto the pouch guide ①. Lay the right or left edge of the laminating pouch against the pouch format lock ④ (closed side leading). Slide the pouch format lock ④ together until the selected format size is reached. This prevents the laminating pouch from being pulled in at an angle.
① Should the laminating pouch be pulled in at an angle, use the "Anti-Blocking Funktion" as described in chapter 11.
Now slide the laminating pouch slowly into the slot for manual pouch input 5.

When you have slid the laminating pouch several centimetres into the slot 5, it will start to be pulled in automatically. Release the laminating pouch as soon as you notice it being pulled in automatically.
① Ensure there is at least 30~cm of open space in front of the laminator. If you do not, the laminating pouch will not be completely ejected from the laminator after lamination. This could damage the laminated pouch.
The completed laminated pouch is ejected from the pouch ejector slot 10 of the laminator.
1 Only after hot lamination: When the finished laminated pouch is discharged from the pouch ejector slot of the appliance, it is hot and can easily change its shape. For this reason, allow the laminated pouch to cool down for at least one minute before touching it. To improve the lamination result, you can weigh a still hot laminated pouch down with a book, a file folder or any other heavy, flat object. This helps achieves a flat and flawless surface.

11. Anti-Blocking Switch (ABS)

At the start of the lamination process, the pouch may be pulled in at an angle or jam itself inside the appliance.

Turn the anti-blocking switch (ABS) 9 to the position ABS.
The laminate pouch is not pulled any further in.

Remove the laminate pouch.
Turn the anti-blocking switch (ABS) back to the desired foil thickness.
Re-start the lamination process.

12. Trimming function

Should you wish to use the trimming function on the pouch guide 1, dismantle the pouch guide 1.

If not already done, place the trimming attachment 12 so that it forms a level surface with the pouch guide 1.
Slide the cutting head 3 to the end stop (the cutting head 3 can be slid to both ends of the cutting rail 2).
Flap the cutting rail 2 upwards with the rounded grip and position the document on the pouch guide ①. Restrain the document by sliding the pouch format locks 4 together until they touch both sides of the document.
Use the markings on the measurement table to align the document precisely.
Flap the cutting rail 2 downwards so that it engages.
Hold the paper in a secure position with your left hand.
To trim, press the cutting head 3 down with the right hand and then slide it with one pull or push over the document.

13.Cleaning and care

Potentially fatal electrical shock:

• Never open the appliance housing. There are no user-serviceable elements inside.
• Never submerge the appliance into water or other liquids!

Cleaning the housing:

① Clean the surface of the housing with a slightly moistened cleaning cloth.

First remove the plug.
Allow the appliance to cool down completely.
Ensure that no moisture can permeate into the appliance.

Cleaning the interior of the appliance:

With every lamination, contaminants are deposited on the rollers inside the laminator. Over time, this reduces the performance of the laminator. You should therefore clean the rollers inside the laminator after use.

Prepare the appliance as described in Chapter 8 "Preparing for hot lamination", up to the point where the green indicator lamp "Ready" OK glows.
Then run a sheet of DIN A4 paper, folded in the middle (maximum thickness 1.0 ~mm ) ...

• without a laminating pouch and
  with the fold first

... slowly into the slot for manual pouch input 5.

Release the sheet as soon as you notice it being pulled in automatically.

• The contaminants on the rollers inside the laminator are now transferred to this sheet of paper. The paper will be discharged from the pouch ejector slot 10 of the laminator.
  Repeat this cleaning process several times. Use a fresh clean sheet of paper each time. When you no longer see any contaminants on the paper, the rollers inside the laminator are clean.

14. Storage

Allow the appliance to cool down completely before putting it into storage.

① Do not store the laminator in damp locations where moisture could enter inside the appliance. (E.g. cellars)!
