Laminating Guide

1. ATTENTION! You may notice an odor coming from the laminator for the first couple of times of use. It may also emit a small amount of smoke on the first time of use which is caused by environmental moisture absorbed but will not impact the function and safety of the laminator. This is normal and the smoke & odor will dissipate shortly. Do not be alarmed.
2. Make sure the main switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the unit. Use only wall sockets with the right voltage supply and plug types.
3. Toggle the main power switch at the back of the machine to the desired pouch thickness (US system 3 mil and 5 mil, Metric system 80 mic and 125 mic). The RED indicator will light up.
4. When the GREEN indicator is lit, the unit is ready for lamination.
5. Insert the document into the correct pouch size. Leave approxi mately 3 to 5mm at each side of the pouch. It is highly recommended NOT to put several smaller documents into a large pouch. Doing so may cause poor laminating effects and pouch jams.
6. Insert the pouch evenly, with the closed end first, into the front side paper inlet.
7. The laminated documents exiting the machine may still be hot so precautions are required while handling.
8. It is recommended using 5 mil pouches when laminating thin of soft materials. When laminating thicker or harder materials it is recommended using 3 mil pouches to help void jams when laminating.
9. Do not trim pouches before laminating. Always leave a minimum pouch border of approximately 1 /4″ around your document. Using trimmed pouches prior to lamination can lead glue exposure to the rollers which can result in pouch jams.
10. When changing the laminating thickness selection, leave the machine in the OFF position for 30 seconds. This is to prevent overloading the circuit.
