Troubleshooting

Malfunction Solution

The device does not start Check that the mains plug is plugged in correctly.

The appliance does not heat (any more) If the temperature is too high, the overheating protection function switches on automatically. Allow the appliance to cool down sufficiently.

The device does not laminate or does not laminate correctly

Check whether you are using the correct function depending on the laminating film used (80 mic or 125 mic). Clean the transport rollers.

The laminated foil is not completely transparent.

Laminate the same film again to improve the result.

The blade of the cutting head does not cut or does not cut properly

Check the material to be cut and the maximum capacity.

Check whether there is any material residue under the guide rail.

The corner rounder does not punch correctly

Check whether there are any material residues in the corner rounding.
