Please observe the following information to ensure reliable operation of the laminator:

1 Read this manual thoroughly and observe the instructions and information in it when operating the device.
2 Keep the operating instruction manual available for future reference.
3 The device may only be operated indoors in dry rooms which are well ventilated.
4 The device must be set down on a level surface and may only be used when horizontal.
5 Ensure that the On/Off switch is in the "OFF" position before connecting the laminator to the mains power supply.
6 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!
7 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 operate the unit if the power cable or power plug is damaged.
8 Switch the device off immediately if a strong smell comes from it.
9 Switch the device off when it is not being used.
10 Disconnect the power plug when the device is not in use.
11 Never take hold of the power plug with damp hands.
12 Keep loose clothing, ties, jewellery, long hair and other loose objects away from the insertion slot. Risk of injury!
13 Children must not be allowed in the vicinity of the device when it is ready to operate.
14 Ensure no pets can get near the device.
15 Do not use the device in the vicinity of hot surfaces or in damp environments and protect it from direct sunlight and dusty conditions.
16 Always use the lamination foil pockets recommended for the device (refer to "Features"). Using foil pockets which are too large could lead to the unit jamming.
17 Do not use foil pockets intended for cold lamination for hot lamination. This could damage the device, foil pockets and document.
18 Never cut foil pockets to size. The resulting cut edges could cause the foil pockets to jam.
19 Never use foil pockets which are soiled. Clean them beforehand, if necessary, using a soft, slightly damp cloth.
20 Metallic objects cannot be laminated.

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 jamming. The folded edge of the sheet must be inserted into the laminator first.

ID cards and documents could lose their validity if they are laminated because the official status of the document can no longer be validated.

If you transfer the laminator to others, always hand over this operating manual with it.

Operation

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

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

1. 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.
2. The drive motor for the transport rollers starts up, the red LED (Power) lights up and the warm-up phase begins.
3. The correct operating temperature is reached after about 4 - 6 minutes and the green LED (Ready) lights up.
4. Set the thickness of the laminating pocket using the Up and Down buttons, if it needs to be altered.

Note: Only use laminating pockets of at least 80 m and maximally 250 m.

1. 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.

1. Insert the foil pocket containing the document in the laminator's insertion 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 lamination. 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.

Clearing Foil Jams

This laminator is equipped with a REV button which activates reverse running 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 slot.
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 results of the laminating process. Therefore, the transport rollers must be cleaned regularly after use:

To do this, insert a folded piece of paper in the insertion slot. Residual adhesive is removed and taken up by the paper when ejected. Repeat the process 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 aggressive cleaning agents.
