USER MANUAL A 296 Plus OLYMPIA

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

Keep the operating instruction manual available for future reference.

Prevent damage to the power plug and power cable. Never twist the power cable. Do not operate the device if the power cable or power plug is damaged.

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

Disconnect the power plug before starting to clean the unit. Never use any solvents or aggressive cleaning agents.

Metallic objects cannot be laminated. 7 Children must not be allowed in the vicinity of the equipment when it is ready to operate.

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

Always switch the unit off immediately if it emits a strong smell or it is not in operation.

Do not touch the power adapter plug with moist hands.

Ensure that the On/Off switch is switched off before connecting the lami- nator to the mains power supply.

Only insert foil pockets which comply with the specifications in the de- vice; refer to Section "Features". Using foil pockets which are too large could lead to the unit jamming.

Do not laminate heat sensitive materials, such as thermal paper, in the device.

Lamination of moist documents produces poor results.

Do not use foil pockets intended for cold lamination for hot lamination. This could damage the machine, foil pockets and document. 16 Do not cut foil pockets to size. The resulting cut edges could cause the lamination foil to jam.

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

The device may only be used in dry, indoor rooms.13 Exemption from Liability We cannot guarantee that the information which relates to the technical properties 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, tech- nical specifications and related documentation of the product described herein at any time without notice. Intended Use This laminator has been designed for use with hot and cold laminating foil. It is possible to laminate pictures, maps, documents and paper in the corre- sponding size up to a total thickness of 0.4 mm. 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. If the document to be laminated deviates from the standard paper sizes, place an insert complying with the corresponding standard paper size in the lamination foil together with the document to be laminated. Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Lamination of unsuitable materials and unsuitable material thicknesses or sizes annuls all rights to claims under the terms of guarantee. Safety note: The power socket must be in the immediate vicinity of the device and easily accessible. This enables you to disconnect the device from the power supply quickly in an emergency.14 Features Protection and refinement of your documents. Laminate photos, documents, graphics, ID cards etc. up to A4/A3 size. The device operates using 2 heating rollers, has a quick warm-up phase and laminates without a carrier.

• LEDs indicate the operating status

• Automatic switch-off in the event of overheating

• High quality heating system prevents smudging and blistering

• Warm-up phase, approx. 5 minutes

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

• Foil thickness, minimum 75 µm and maximal 175 µm A 296 Plus A 396 Plus Laminating system: Hot roller technology Maximum foil thickness:

Working width: 230 mm (A4) 330 mm (A3) Power consumption: 260 W 350 W Dimensions (LxWxH): 340 x 159 x 70 mm 434 x 159 x 70 mm Weight: Approx. 1.25 kg Approx. 1.6 kg Hot Lamination 1 Connect the power cable to an easily accessible, properly installed power socket. Attention: Check that the voltage specifications of the machine corre- spond to that of your power supply network (220 - 240 V, 50 Hz). 2 Switch on the On/Off switch on the right-hand side of the unit (I). The "COLD" LED lights up and the drive motor for the transport rollers starts up. 3 Press the foil thickness switch on the device until the LED (75 mic, 125 mic or 175 mic) corresponding to the foil pocket thickness to be used flashes. 4 The correct operating temperature is reached after about 5 minutes or as soon as the foil thickness indicator LED lights up continuously. 5 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.15 6 Insert the foil pocket containing the document in the insertion slot on the rear of the laminator. Insert the ready closed side of the foil pocket first. Note: To prevent the laminating foil from creasing, never feed the open side of the foil pocket first in the insertion slot of the laminator. The laminating process occurs automatically. 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. Cold Lamination 1 Connect the power cable to an easily accessible, properly installed power socket. Attention: Check that the voltage specifications of the machine correspond to that of your power supply network (220 - 240 V, 50 Hz). 2 Switch on the On/Off switch on the right-hand side of the unit (I). 3 The "COLD" LED lights up and the drive motor for the transport roll- ers start up. Attention: If you have just finished using the laminator for hot laminat- ing, you must let the laminator cool down. The cool down phase can take up to 30 minutes. 4 Remove the protective foil from the foil pocket. 5 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. 6 Insert the foil pocket containing the document in the insertion slot on the rear of the laminator. Insert the ready closed side of the foil pocket first. Note: To prevent the laminating foil from creasing, never feed the open side of the laminating pocket first in the insertion slot of the lami- nator. The laminating process occurs automatically.16 Clearing Foil Jams The laminator is provided with the "Jam Release" function in order to clear foil jams quickly. 1 If the foil pocket jams, switch the laminator off and actuate the "ABS" switch on the rear of the unit. 2 Hold the laminator firmly and pull the foil pocket together with the doc- ument to be laminated out of the laminator's insertion slot. 3 It will probably be necessary to then clean the device several times as described in the Section "Cleaning and Servicing". 4 If foil pockets jam repeatedly or jammed foil cannot be removed from the laminator, please contact the sales outlet where you purchased the device. 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 cleaned periodically 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. Always disconnect the power plug before starting to clean the device hous- ing 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.17 Troubleshooting Fault Corrective measures

• LED does not light up

• Device does not respond

• Check that the power cable has been correctly plugged into t

wer socket and that the On/Off switch is switched to I.

• If the fault cannot be cleared, please contact the sales outlet where you purchased the device.
