Your Leitz laminator is suitable for lamination of most printed papers, copier, laser and ink jet papers with laminating pouches of 75 µm (mic.) to 250 µm up to a maximum thickness of 1 mm. The thickness of the material to be laminated is recog-nized by a sensor which automatically adjusts the lami-nating speed. Thus, in addition to thinner materials also photographs as well as coated inkjet and laser prints are always laminated with the best possible setting. To ensure high-quality results, use Leitz brand pouches only. This also helps to prolong the lifetime of the device.

For your safety Intended useThis device has been developed for laminating paper or similar materials. Use it exclusively for this purpose, as described in these operating instructions. Precautions for setup The device is for indoor use only. Do not use outdoors. Prior to connection make sure your local mains voltage matches the rating indicated on the device. Set the device up close to a readily accessible mains socket. Make sure the device can be disconnected from mains at all times. Protect the mains cord from being strained, pinched or buckled and place it in a way to prevent people from tripping over the cord. Particularly ensure that damage is avoided at the plug and the point where the cord exits from the device. Do not expose the device to direct sunlight and do not place it on heat-sensitive surfaces, near heaters, air conditioners or ammable substances. Do not drop or hit the device.Precautions for operation Never leave the device unattended when switched on. Keep the device away from children (risk of injury!). Ensure good aeration while laminating (e. g. open a window). Protect the device from moisture and do not operate it when mains cord or plug are defective. Always grasp the plug, not the cord itself. Never touch a mains plug with wet hands. Unplug the device when not in use. Do not place anything on top of the device and do not insert anything into the venting slots.Precautions for cleaning, transport and storage Unplug and let the device cool down before cleaning, moving or storing it. When carrying the laminator, always hold it by the recessed grips on both sides. Use a soft, damp cloth and a dishwashing detergent for cleaning. Do not use cleaning tissues or chemical substances which might damage the surface. Do not open the housing and do not attempt to repair the device yourself. Contact your dealer for any required repairs. Read guarantee declaration for fur-ther information.  Tips for good results To ensure the best possible lamination and to avoid any damage to the laminator, please take the following pre-cautions: Laminating pouches are made of two sides linked to each other. Never laminate with only one side of a laminating pouch. Always insert laminating pouches into the unit with the folded side rst. Do not insert a laminating pouch until the previous laminated document has been removed. Insert small objects like business cards always in the middle (below the READY indicator). Never laminate empty pouches. Always insert a docu-ment into the pouch when laminating. Do not cut the pouch prior to lamination. Trim the pouch to size after lamination. Do not laminate heat-sensitive, wet, wavy or crinkly materials. Do not laminate materials thicker than specied in this manual. Do not laminate metal objects. The lamination process is irreversible. Please keep this in mind when laminating unique pieces. Do not pull or push the pouch and do not switch off the laminator during normal lamination.6

Situation ReactionDuring lamination the pouch gets stuck in the front part of the lami-nator.Automatic reverse is activated and the pouch is driven out through the input tray. Assist the process by carefully pulling at the pouch. As soon as the pouch has left the front sensor area, the laminator switches off automati-cally to prevent the pouch from being pulled in again. To laminate another item, switch the device on again.During lamination the user switches off the device or the mains power fails or the device is otherwise dis-connected from mains.After re-starting the laminator, automatic reverse is activated for 30 seconds to drive out the pouch through the input tray. As soon as the READY indicator lights green, you can laminate again as usual. Important: Clean the rollers after any pouch jam as described in section “Maintenance and care”.

Thickness sensor with speed adjustment – Your Leitz laminator is provided with a sensor which rec- ognizes the thickness of the material to be laminat- ed and adjusts the laminating speed accordingly. By this, all approved materials from normal copying paper to photographs, coated inkjet and laser pa- pers are always laminated as good as possible.

Four-stage READY indicator – Three red lights and one green light have the following meaning: 3 red lightsHeating up (approx. 5 min.)2 red lightsHeating up (approx. 3 min.)1 red lightHeating up (approx. 1 min.)Green lightReady for laminating3 red lights, blinkingAutomatic or manual reverse A red light coming up during the lamination process means that the laminating temperature has dropped too far or the sensors are being calibrated automa- tically. This is normal behaviour. Just wait with the next pouch until the green light comes up again. Overview of your laminator Open out the front cover page where you will nd a diagram that you can keep for reference while reading these operating instructions.

Input tray – Here you insert the pouch with the document to be laminated centrally. This tray can be folded in for space-saving storage.

Output tray – This is where the laminated docu- ment exits. This tray can be folded in for space- saving storage. You can also laminate without folding out the tray when there is not enough room at the place of action. In this case you must lead out the laminated document diagonally upwards with your hand so that it is not blocked.

Mains cord/plug – Connect this with a suitable mains outlet. Read the safety precautions in this manual.

Reverse button – This activates the manual re- verse function. Use this, for instance, to prevent a document that has not been inserted correctly from being laminated further. Assist the reverse motion by carefully pulling at the pouch. The READY indi- cator blinks red while reverse motion is in progress. The reverse motion ends as soon as you stop pressing the button. Important: If the pouch has almost entirely left the laminator through the output tray, the transport moves on while pressing the but- ton and no reverse motion is performed.

On/Off button – Use this to switch the laminator on (button lights) and off (button does not light). If no lamination is carried out, the laminator switches off after 30 minutes (energy saving function).

Anti-jam recognition with automatic reverse – Your Leitz laminator is equipped with sensors to assist you in removing a pouch from the laminator in case of an impending or actual pouch jam. The following table shows how the laminator reacts in certain situations.

Laminating, simple as that!

1. Setting up and connecting the laminator

Set the laminator up on a stable surface (e.g. table) close to a mains outlet. Ensure there is sufcient space behind the lami-nator so the laminated document is not blocked and can easily be removed. Fold out the input and output trays. Connect mains cord with mains socket.

Press the On/Off button ( ) so that it lights. The READY indicator lights up red and the laminator heats up. As soon as all red lights are out and the green light is on, the working temperature has been reached and the laminator is ready for use.

3. Inserting the document into the pouch

Insert the document into the laminating pouch. Align it to the pouch’s folded side as close as possible and ensure even mar-gins on the left and right.Pouches that are too large can be trimmed to size after lamination.

Important: Lamination is permanent. Before laminating unique pieces, test the process with a similar item. Always insert smaller objects in the middle of the input tray so that they are recognized by the thickness sensor. When the READY indicator lights green, insert the pouch with the folded side rst straightly into the input tray until it gets pulled in. The laminated document is automatically driven out at the output tray.

5. Letting the laminated document cool down

Remove the laminated document and leave it on a at surface for one minute to cool down. If you do not wish to laminate further documents, switch off the laminator.

Troubleshooting Retrieve a pouch that has not been inserted correctly

Press and hold the Reverse button.The pouch is driven out again at the input tray. Assist the reverse motion by carefully pulling at the pouch.The reverse motion ends as soon as you stop pressing the button.Problem Cause RemedyWhen pressing the Reverse button, the pouch is not being reversed but transported further.Normal behaviour because the pouch has already left the front part of the laminator.None.The laminator always runs at the same speed regardless of the thick-ness of the material.Thickness sensor defective. Please let the laminator be inspected by customer service. Maintenance and care In order to remove superuous adhesive from inside the device, clean the rollers regularly as described here: Switch on the laminator ( ). Wait until the READY indicator lights green. Fold a sheet of unused copying paper once in the middle. Insert the supplied Laminator Cleaning Sheet into the folded paper (see gure A). Insert the paper with the folded side rst into the input tray 3–5 times (see gure B). To clean the housing: Pull out mains plug and wait for the device to cool down. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a dishwashing deter-gent.9
