IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of electric shock and injury, including the following:

1. Carefully read all instructions

2. Always unplug the appliance when not in use

or before cleaning.

3. Extreme caution to be taken when appliance

is used by, or near to, children or invalids.

4. To protect against risk of electrical hazards,

do not immerse power cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.

5. Do not insert any metal objects, e.g. scissors,

or foreign objects into the entry or exit areas of the machine. Do not laminate metallic objects.

6. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged

power cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or is damaged in any manner.

7. The plug on the power cord is the disconnect

device.

8. The equipment should be installed near the

outlet socket and the socket should be easily accessible.

9. The machine must not be used outside.

OPERATION

Before you use your laminating machine for the first time, it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the machine’s operation and controls. Check the results using a range of sample sheets of paper before laminating your valuable original documents.

IMPORTANT

Do not attempt to laminate items which are too thick for your laminator i.e. the total thickness including the pouch must not exceed 0.8 mm.

HOT LAMINATING

1. Plug the laminator into a convenient power socket.

2. Switch on the power switch (l), the Red light will illuminate to indicate that the power is on.

3. The laminator will pre-heat for approximately 10 minutes.

4. Whilst the laminator is pre-heating, you can prepare your item to be laminated by placing it centrally into the correct sized pouch, leaving the sealed edge intact, allowing a border of 3mm.

5. When the required temperature is reached the Green light will come on.

6. Gently insert the pouch inside, sealed edge first, squarely between the entry guides into the front of the laminator until the pouch engages with automatic feed rollers.

7. The pouch will move through the unit and exit at rear. Allow to remain flat until cool.

8. During the laminating process the Green ready light may go out as the laminate absorbs heat. Always wait until the Green light comes back on before laminating your next document.

9. Always turn your laminator OFF after use ( O )

CAUTION: Do not try to force the pouch

into the laminator or try to pull the pouch out. This will damage (and could break) the laminator as well as not allowing for proper processing of the laminating pouch.

PHOTO LAMINATING

1. Photographs may be laminated on this laminator with a standard laminating pouch. It is not necessary to use a Rexel Photopouch.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. The hot lamination process achieves the required result by bonding into the surface of your document. Once you have laminated your document it cannot be retrieved.

2. Do not attempt to hot laminate heat sensitive documents such as thermal paper, wax based inks, some types of coated paper etc.

3. If the laminated document has a milky appearance, you may need to process it again.

4. If the laminated document is ridged and hard it has probably been laminated too hot, please ensure the ready light is on before laminating.

5. If air pockets develop during processing, use a small sharp needle or pin to gently puncture pockets and process again.

6. Do not handle the inside of the laminating pouch, moisture from your hands could impair the processing quality.
