Introduction

We are delighted that you have chosen to purchase the new A 6040 laminator - subsequently referred to as: laminator. You have chosen a high-quality laminator. The operating manual is

a component part of this laminator. It contains important information concerning safety, use and disposal. Read the operating manual carefully and observe the warnings and information when using your laminator. Only use the laminator as described and for the applications specified. Keep the operating manual in a safe place for future reference and hand over all the documents should you pass the laminator on to third parties.

Intended Use

The laminator has been designed for lamination using hot laminating pouches (up to a maximum size of A2) with a lamination foil thickness of 80 - 250 microns, whereby the total thickness of the documents to be laminated (photos, pictures, cards, paper etc.) must not exceed 0.8 ~mm . The laminator is only intended for private use and is not suitable for commercial purposes.

Unintended Use

The laminator must not be used for laminating unsuitable materials or used beyond the permitted ambient conditions described in the Technical Data. Any use other than that defined as intended use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modifications or alterations are not permitted. Never open the laminator yourself or attempt to perform repairs yourself.

Ensure that the laminator is set up near an easily accessible power socket so that the laminator can be disconnected from the power supply in an emergency. Never take hold of the laminator with wet hands. Avoid any contact with water. The laminator may only be used in dry, indoor areas.

WARNING! Risk of suffocation through small parts, packaging materials or protective foils. Children can swallow small parts, packaging materials and protective foils. Keep children away from the laminator and its packaging materials.

WARNING! The laminator can be used by children from the age of eight and by persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and/or knowledge when they are under supervision or have been instructed on the safe use of the laminator and understand the risks involved if it is not used properly. Do not let children play with the laminator. Children must not be allowed to complete any cleaning or service work on the device without adequate supervision.

WARNING! Risk of injury through the feed mechanism. Loose items could get caught in the infeed and cause injuries. Keep fingers, hair, scarves, ties, jewellery etc. well away from the infeed.

WARNING! Risk to health through harmful vapours. Vapours which are damaging to health can develop during lamination. Always ensure good ventilation during lamination.

CAUTION! Risk of burns through hot machine surface! During the laminating process, the machine surface heats up. Do not touch the machine surface during the laminating operation. Wait a few minutes after laminating until the laminator has cooled down before you touch it.

CAUTION! Risk of burns through hot laminating pouch. When the laminating pouch is ejected after lamination, it is extremely hot. Only remove the ejected lamination pouch holding it at the cooled end.

CAUTION! Risk of burns through hot residual laminated material. After cleaning, very hot residual laminated material is stuck to the ejected paper. Only remove the ejected paper holding it at the cooled end.

CAUTION! Risk of tripping through improperly laid cable. Lay cables in such a way that nobody can trip over them. Make sure the power plug and cable cannot be damaged. Ensure that the laminator is set up near an easily accessible power socket so that it can be disconnected from the power supply in an emergency.

ATTENTION! Risk of property damage. Avoid exposing the laminator to environmental influences such as smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat or direct sunlight. Only use the laminator in indoor areas and within the ambient conditions permitted and stipulated in "Technical Data".

Before You Start

Please observe the following information to ensure continued reliable operation of the laminator.

■ Do not laminate metal, wet or uneven materials.
Always feed the laminating pouches into the laminatinfoed with the closed side first and aligned straight.
If necessary, only cut laminating pouches after laminating.
Please remember that hot laminated materials are permanently bonded to the laminating pouch and cannot be separated from the foil again without possible damage.
- Do not pull the laminating pouch out of the output ② during laminating.
■ Only use laminating pouches which are suitable for hot lamination. For an optimum lamination result, we recommend laminating pouches from Olympia which are available from specialist retailers.

Setting Up Safely and Putting Into Operation

IMPORTANT! Prior to starting up, check that the voltage specifications of the laminator correspond to those of your power supply network (220 V - 240 V, 50 Hz).

1. Set the laminator down on a level, stable working surface close to an easily accessible power socket.
2. Connect the laminator's power plug 4 to an easily accessible power socket.
3. Switch the power switch ⑤ to ON, the control lamp on the power switch ⑤ lights up red.

Laminating

During hot lamination, the laminating pouch is heated to a temperature of up to 105^ as it passes through the laminator rollers. This creates a permanent thermal bonding of the laminated material and the laminating pouch. Hot lamination permanently prevents the laminated material from coming into contact with water, oxygen and bacteria.

The laminator can process all cold and hot laminating foils in the thicknesses 80 , 100 , 125 , 150 , 175 , 250 . Use the dial on the laminator to select the various thicknesses. To laminate with cold laminating foils, select the COLD setting.

During the warm-up phase, the READY LED is off and you can not insert a laminating pouch. If you try to insert a laminating pouch during the warm-up phase, the laminator rollers rotate in reverse and prevent this.

The READY LED ⑥ lights up green when warming up is complete and the laminator is ready for use.

WARNING! Risk of injury through the feed mechanism. Loose items could get caught in the infeed and cause injuries. Keep fingers, hair, scarves, ties, jewellery etc. well away from the infeed.

1. Use the dial to select the foil thickness.

WARNING! Risk to health through harmful vapours. Vapours which are damaging to health can develop during lamination. Always ensure good ventilation during lamination.

1. Place the material to be laminated inside the laminating pouch. For an optimal lamination result, leave an all-round spacing of 3 to 5mm from the edges of the pouch.

2. Feed the prepared laminating pouch with the closed side first, keeping it straight, into the infeed of the laminator.

CAUTION! Risk of burns through hot laminating pouch. When the laminating pouch is ejected after lamination, it is extremely hot. Only remove the ejected lamination pouch holding it at the cooled end.

1. The laminating pouch is automatically drawn in and output from the output ②, guided by the pouch guide ③.

If Problems Occur

Clearing Pouch Jams

If you inadvertently feed the laminating pouch into the infeed 9 at an angle, or if the rollers are soiled with too much residual adhesive, or if you try to laminate unsuitable materials, laminating pouches can jam inside the laminator.

The laminator's sensors check for correct infeed of the laminating pouches and immediately put the rollers into reverse when they detect a jam.

Then the laminator runs in reverse and ejects the laminating pouch at the infeed ⑨.

In case of problems, you can also manually reverse the rollers by pressing the AUTO / REVERSE button.

1. Press and hold the AUTO / REVERSE button ⑦ . The laminator goes into reverse.

CAUTION! Risk of burns through hot laminating pouch. When the laminating pouch is ejected after lamination, it is extremely hot. Only remove the ejected lamination pouch holding it at the cooled end.

1. Carefully pull the laminating pouch out of the infeed 9 of the lamina-tor.
2. Only release the AUTO / REVERSE button when the laminating pouch has been fully ejected at the infeed 9.

After a pouch jam, always clean the laminator. Clean the laminator as described in the section Regular Maintenance and Service.

Regular Maintenance and Service

Clean the laminator at regular intervals.

1. Before cleaning, disconnect the power plug 4.
2. Wait until the laminator has cooled down. Information on cooling down times is provided in Section Technical Data.

NOTE Risk of damage to the laminator through aggressive cleaning agents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents.

1. Use a soft, damp and lint-free cloth to clean the surface of the laminate.

Removing Deposits and Residual Adhesive

Adhesive and other residues on the rollers can impair the lamination result. Remove these at regular intervals and whenever the lamination result is not as good as expected.

1. Switch the power switch ⑤ to ON, the control lamp on the power switch ⑤ lights up red.

CAUTION! Risk of burns through hot machine surface! During the laminating process, the machine surface heats up. Do not touch the machine surface during the laminating operation. Wait a few minutes after laminating until the laminator has cooled down before you touch it.

1. Fold a sheet of paper and feed it into the infeed of the laminator with the folded edge first and keeping it straight. Residual adhesive is removed and taken up by the paper when ejected.

CAUTION! Risk of burns through hot residual laminated material. When the paper is ejected after the cleaning process, it can contain hot residual material. Only remove the ejected paper holding it at the cooled end.

1. Repeat the process with a new sheet of paper until the paper comes out clean.
