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 Elite 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
1. It is important to always use a Carrier with
this machine. Not using a carrier will result in
the laminator becoming jammed or failing to
run. This is an operator fault and is not
covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.
2. Do not attempt to laminate items which are
too thick for your laminator i.e. the total
thickness including the carrier must not
exceed 1.5mm.
HOT LAMINATING
1. Plug the laminator into a convenient power
socket.
2. Switch on the power switch ( I ) , the Red
light will illuminate to indicate that the power
is on.
3. Select the appropriate temperature/pouch
setting for the thickness of pouch.
4. The laminator will pre-heat for approximately
4 minutes.
5. 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. Then place
the pouch in the carrier.
6. When the required temperature is reached the
Green light will come on.
7. Gently insert the filled carrier between the
entry guides into the front of the laminator,
stitched edge first, until it engages with
automatic feed rollers.
8. The carrier will move through the unit and exit
at rear.
9. During the laminating process the Green light
may go off as heat is absorbed by the
laminate. Always wait until the Green light is
on before laminating your next document.
10. Turn temperature to cold and turn your
laminator OFF after use (O).
REVERSE FUNCTION
CAUTION: Do not try to force the carrier
into the laminator or try to pull the carrier out.
This will damage (and could break) the laminator
as well as not allowing for proper processing of
the laminating pouch.
There is a reverse feature included on the on/off
button (A) of the machine. If you need to retrieve
a document during lamination:
1. Press the reverse button.
2. With the other hand gently hold the carrier
and document.
3. If the carrier has gone completely into the
machine and is not sticking out of the front or
back, there is nothing you can do. Do not try
to open the machine. This can be dangerous
and will invalidate the warranty.
PHOTO LAMINATING
1. Photographs have a sealed plastic surface
that does not absorb the adhesive from the
inside of a standard laminating pouch. The
result can be disappointing as the adhesive
will show as bubbles on the surface of the
photograph.
2. Heavily coloured inkjet copies and varnished
printed pages can also present problems.
3. These problems can be avoided by using
Rexel Photo Pouches which have a special
construction.
4. Use Rexel ‘Photo pouches’ (available in
standard photo sizes and A4) and process as
normal.
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 etc.
3. If the laminated document has a milky
appearance, you may need to process it
again at a higher temperature
4. If the laminated document is ridged and hard
it has probably been laminated too hot, and
you should put other laminates through at a
lower setting.
5. If in doubt, start at a lower temperature and if
the laminate does not bond to the document
(appears cloudy) then repeat using a higher
temperature.
6. If air pockets develop during processing, use
a small sharp needle or pin to gently
puncture pockets and process again.
7. Do not handle the inside of the laminating
pouch moisture from your hands could impair
the processing quality.
