A 8250 C - Laminating machine OLYMPIA - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL A 8250 C OLYMPIA

Read this manual thoroughly and observe the instructions and in- formation in it when operating the device.

Keep the operating instruction manual available for future referen-

The device may only be operated indoors in dry rooms which are well ventilated.

The device must be set down on a level surface and may only be used when horizontal.

Ensure that the On/Off switch is in the "OFF" position before connec- ting the laminator to the mains power supply.

The mains power socket and power connection on the device must be freely accessible for reasons of safety, namely to enable the power supply to be disconnected quickly in an emergency!

Prevent damage to the power plug and power cable. Never twist or kink the power cable nor set it down on hot surfaces. Do not opera- te the unit if the power cable or power plug is damaged.

Switch the device off immediately if a strong smell comes from it.

Switch the device off when it is not being used.

Disconnect the power plug when the device is not in use.

Never take hold of the power plug with damp hands.

Keep loose clothing, ties, jewellery, long hair and other loose objects away from the insertion slot. Risk of injury!

Children must not be allowed in the vicinity of the device when it is ready to operate.

Ensure no pets can get near the device.

Do not use the device in the vicinity of hot surfaces or in damp environments and protect it from direct sunlight and dusty conditi- ons.

Always use the lamination foil pockets recommended for the devi- ce (refer to "Features"). Using foil pockets which are too large could lead to the unit jamming.

Do not use foil pockets intended for cold lamination for hot lamina- tion. This could damage the device, foil pockets and document.

Never cut foil pockets to size. The resulting cut edges could cause the foil pockets to jam.

Never use foil pockets which are soiled. Clean them beforehand, if necessary, using a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Metallic objects cannot be laminated.14 21 Do not laminate heat sensitive materials, such as thermal paper, in the device. 22 Lamination of moist documents produces poor results. 23 Maintain a pause of at least 15 seconds between each lamination process. 24 Never operate the device longer than 2 hours at a time. Then allow the device to cool down for at least 30 minutes. 25 Only transport the device when it has cooled down. 26 Never touch hot parts of the device. Risk of burns! Handle the foil pockets just laminated with due care and attention. They are very hot! 27 Always switch the device off and then disconnect the power plug before cleaning the device. Never use any solvents or aggressive cleaning agents.

Important Information If very soft material (such as serviettes) or very small size material is to be laminated, we recommend inserting a folded sheet of paper in the foil pocket too, to prevent the possibility of the document being laminated from jam- ming. The folded edge of the sheet must be inserted into the laminator first. ID cards and documents could loses their validity if they are laminated be- cause the official status of the document can no longer be validated. If you transfer the laminator to others, always hand over this operating ma- nual with it.

Exemption From Liability We cannot guarantee that the information which relates to the technical pro- perties of the product or to the product itself contained in this document is correct. The product and, where applicable, its accessories, described in this document are subject to constant improvement and further development. For this reason, we reserve the right to modify components, accessories, technical specifications and related documentation of the product described herein at any time without notice.15 Intended Use This laminator can be used for the hot lamination of foil pockets with a thickness between 80 and 250 μm and a maximum size of A3. It can be used to laminate photos, cards, documents, paper etc. with a max. thickness of 0.8 mm and a weight between 70 and 80 g/m². Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modifications or reconstructions are not permitted.

Features Protection and refinement of your documents. Laminate photos, documents, graphics etc. up to A3 size. The unit operates using 4 heating rollers, has a quick warm-up phase and laminates without a carrier.

• 2 LED lamps indicate the operating status.

• Automatic switch-off in the event of overheating

• High quality heating system prevents smudging and blistering

• Warm-up phase of 4 - 6 minutes

• Cool down phase to room temperature, approx. 30 minutes.

1. Connect the power cable to an easily accessible, standard electrical so-

cket. Attention: Check that the voltage specifications of the machine cor- respond to that of your power supply network (220 - 240 V / 50 Hz).

2. Switch on the power switch at the rear of the device and then switch on

the On/Off button (ON/OFF) on the operating panel.

3. The drive motor for the transport rollers starts up, the red LED (Power)

lights up and the warm-up phase begins.

4. The correct operating temperature is reached after about 4 - 6 minutes

and the green LED (Ready) lights up.

5. Set the thickness of the laminating pocket using the Up and Down but-

tons, if it needs to be altered. Note: Only use laminating pockets of at least 80 μm and maximally 250 μm.

6. Insert the document to be laminated in the foil pocket so that there is a

margin of approx. 3 - 5 mm to the edge of the foil on all sides. Attention: Only use hot laminating foils.

7. Insert the foil pocket containing the document in the laminator's inserti-

on slot. Insert the ready closed side of the foil in first. The foil pocket, with the document inside, is automatically drawn in and sealed. Note: To prevent the foil pocket from creasing, never feed the open side of the laminating pocket first in the insertion slot of the laminator. Attention: The foil is very hot and soft when ejected following lamina- tion. Therefore, handle the laminated product with extreme care. Note: To flatten the laminated product, place a book or similar heavy, flat object, on it. Note: If the device is used continuously, the blue LED may light up occasionally to indicate reheating. This does not affect the quality of the lamination process.18 Clearing Foil Jams This laminator is equipped with a REV button which activates reverse run- ning in order to quickly clear foil pockets which have become jammed.

1. If the foil pocket jams, press the REV button.

2. The jammed foil pocket is released and is fed back out of the insertion

3. It will probably be necessary to then clean the unit several times as

described in the Section "Cleaning and Servicing".

4. If foil jams occur repeatedly or jammed foil cannot be removed from the

laminator, please contact our hotline (refer to Guarantee).

Cleaning and Servicing Deposits and residual adhesive on the transport rollers can influence the re- sults of the laminating process. Therefore, the transport rollers must be clea- ned regularly after use: To do this, insert a folded piece of paper in the insertion slot. Residual adhe- sive is removed and taken up by the paper when ejected. Repeat the pro- cess several times. Disconnect the power plug before starting to clean the unit with a damp cloth. If necessary, the housing can be cleaned using a cloth moistened with clean water with a little mild soap applied. Never use any solvents or ag- gressive cleaning agents.19 Troubleshooting Fault Corrective measures

• Red LED (Power) does not light

• Device does not respond

• Check that the power switch on the rear side of the device has been switched on. Also check that the On/Off switch on the operating panel has been switched on.

• If the fault cannot be cleared, con- tact our hotline.

• Foil jam • Check the foil pockets being used are the correct size.

• Only use foil pockets of the size specified.

• Ensure that the foil pocket is straight when inserted in the devi- ce.

• To clear the fault, follow the in- structions in the Section "Clearing Foil Jams".

• Laminated foil is not completely transparent

• Laminate the same foil again to improve the lamination result.
