• Guarantee Introduction 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 careful- ly and observe the warnings and information when using your laminator. Only use the laminator as described and for the applications specied. 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 com- mercial purposes. Unintended Use The laminator must not be used for laminating unsuitable materials or used beyond the permitted ambient conditions described in the Techni- cal Data. Any use other than that dened as intended use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modications or alterations are not per- mitted. Never open the laminator yourself or attempt to perform repairs yourself. G14 For Your Safety For Your Safety Read and observe all the safety information to protect yourself and the environment from any harm. WARNING! Risk of injury through electric shock.

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 ngers, 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. G15 For Your Safety 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 inuences such as smoke, dust, vibra- tion, chemicals, moisture, heat or direct sunlight. Only use the laminator in indoor areas and within the ambient conditions permitted and stipulated in "Technical Data".

If anything is missing or damaged, do not put the lamina- tor into operation. Contact our Service department. ■ Laminator A6040 ■ Foil guide ■ Operating manual 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 laminator infeed

with the closed side rst and aligned straight. ■ If necessary, only cut laminating pouches after laminating. ■ Please remember that hot laminated materials are permanently bond- ed 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

during laminat- ing. ■ 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. G18 Setting Up Safely and Putting Into Operation Setting Up Safely and Putting Into Operation IMPORTANT! Prior to starting up, check that the voltage specications 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

to an easily accessible power socket.

to ON, the control lamp on the power switch

lights up red. Laminating During hot lamination, the laminating pouch is heated to a temperature of up to 105°C 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 thick- nesses 80µ, 100µ, 125µ, 150µ, 175µ, 250µ. Use the dial

on the laminator to select the various thicknesses. To laminate with cold laminat- ing foils, select the COLD setting. During the warm-up phase, the READY LED

is o 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

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 ngers, hair, scarves, ties, jewellery etc. well away from the infeed.

2. Place the material to be laminated inside the laminating pouch. For

an optimal lamination result, leave an all-round spacing of 3 to 5 mm from the edges of the pouch.

3. Feed the prepared laminating pouch with the closed side rst, 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.

G20 If Problems Occur If Problems Occur Clearing Pouch Jams If you inadvertently feed the laminating pouch into the infeed

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 pouch- es 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

In case of problems, you can also manually reverse the rollers by press- ing the AUTO / REVERSE button
