I. For your safety...
u Do not connect the laminator to electrical power or attempt to operate it until you have read
these instructions completely. Keep these instructions in a convenient location for future
reference.
u Read all safety messages located in this instruction manual and on the laminator very care-
fully.
u Always replace safety shield before operating your laminator. If you service this
machine yourself, ensure that the safety shield is returned to the operating position
when service is completed. Do this to protect all operators. Operators may be
harmed if you do not follow this instruction.
u Removing feed table exposes hot and moving parts. This means that you can be harmed if you
remove the feed table. When the table is in the proper position the risk of injury to the operator
is reduced.
u Do not operate this laminator without all detachable units installed correctly. This means that
there is risk of injury if this product is operated without all of its parts in their proper positions.
u Keep hands and clothing away from rollers. The rollers are pinch points that can trap
body parts or clothing and cause serious injury.
u Do not touch the front rollers while the laminator heater power is on. Turn rollers off and allow
to cool.
u Do not use the laminator for other than its intended purpose.
u Only operate this machine if you have been properly trained and authorized to do so. Contact
the manufacturer for training information at 909-296-9780.
II. Electrical Safeguards...
u Never override or attempt to defeat electrical or mechanical safety interlock devices.
u Disconnect power supply before servicing your laminator. This laminator uses double
pole/neutral fusing.
u A readily accessible disconnect device should be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
u The machine has been manufactured without a plug on the power cord. We recommend that
you connect this unit directly to a power main. Have a qualified electrician install your power
supply for you. Care must be exercised to properly identify the neutral wire in the power cord.
The neutral power cord wire is color coded white. The neutral of the power main should be
identified using a suitable voltmeter.
u The laminator should only be operated from the type of power source indicated in these
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and on the serial label located on the rear panel of the unit.
u Do not leave the laminator power on for extended periods while not in use. Open the panel
breaker at the end of the day as a precaution against a possible fire hazard.
2
u Do not operate the laminator with a damaged power supply cord or plug.
u Replace fuses only with same type rated 30A, 240V and 1A, 250V fuses. Contact your dealer
for replacement fuses.
u There are two (2) EMERGENCY STOP buttons on your Entry 4500, one on each side.
Depressing one of these buttons will stop the rollers.
