FEATURES & TIPS

'Release' function

To remove or re-align a pouch during lamination, activate the release lever located on the back of the machine. The pouch can only be removed from the entry slot when the lever is activated.

Auto Shut Off

After 30 minutes, the machine will automatically go in to Auto Shut Off mode. The Power LED will flash red for 5 minutes and then turn off. The ready LED will turn off. To continue using the machine press the ON/OFF switch. The machine will reset itself.

• For best results, use Fellowes ^® brand pouches: 80 - 125 micron.
• This machine does not need a carrier to laminate. It is a carrier-free mechanism.
• Always put the item to be laminated into the appropriate sized pouch.
• Always test laminate with a similar size and thickness before final process.
• Prepare pouch and item for lamination. Place item within pouch centred and touching the leading sealed edge. Ensure the pouch is not too large for the item.
• If required, trim excess material from around the item after lamination and cooling.

SETTING UP THE LAMINATOR

1. Ensure the machine is on a stable surface.

2. Check there is enough clear space (min 50cm) behind the machine to allow items to pass through freely.

3. Plug the machine into an easily accessible mains socket.

HOW TO LAMINATE

1. Switch the power on (located at the side of the machine).
2. The red 'Power on' lamp will light up. The machine is now heating up.
3. When the machine is ready, the green 'Ready' lamp will remain on.

4. Place the document into the open pouch. Ensure the document is centred against the sealed edge. Use the appropriate pouch size for the document.

5. Ensure the pouch enters the machine sealed edge first. Keep the pouch straight and central within the slot, not on an angle. Use the entry markings as a guide.

6. Upon exit, the laminated pouch may be hot and soft. To prevent jamming remove the pouch immediately. Place pouch on to a flat surface to cool. Take care when handling a hot pouch.
