What should I do if the pouch gets stuck?

Press the jam release lever located on the back of the laminator to release the rollers. Then gently pull the pouch out. Avoid forcing it.

How do I clean the rollers?

Use a cleaning sheet (included or purchased separately) by running it through the laminator on the cold setting. For exterior cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth.

Does the laminator have an auto shut-off feature?

Yes, it will automatically power off after 30 minutes of inactivity for safety and energy savings.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS — Read Before Using!

WARNING

• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• To prevent electrical shock, do NOT use laminator close to water and do NOT spill water on laminator, electric cord, or wall socket.
• Do not leave electric cord in contact with a warm surface.
• Do not leave electric cord hanging from a cupboard or shelf.
• Do not use laminator if electric cord is damaged.

CAUTION

• Only use pouches specifically designed for the lamination setting (Hot or Cold) you intend to use.
  • Always supervise children during laminator operation.
• Keep pets away from laminator while in use.

TIPS

• Always put item in a pouch. Never laminate an empty pouch.
• Trim excess pouch material from around your item after laminating and cooling.
• If using both hot and cold lamination in one session, use the cold setting first to avoid having to wait for the laminator to cool down.

• With self-adhesive pouches, use the laminator on the cold setting for a smoother finish.

• Before laminating valuable items, do a test run with an item similar in size and thickness.

• When not in use, wrap cord around feet for portable ease and optimal storage.
• When laminating heat-sensitive documents (i.e., tickets, ultrasounds, etc.) only use self-adhesive pouches on a cold setting.
• Use a dry-erase marker for writing on laminated pouches.

BEFORE YOU LAMINATE

Use Fellowes® brand pouches for best results. Select correct pouch size for laminated item.
