FEATURES & TIPS

•Always put item into the appropriate sized pouch.

•Always test laminate with a similar size and thickness before final process.

•If required, trim excess material from around the item after lamination and cooling.

•For best results, use Fellowes ® brand pouches:

Enhance 80, Impress 100, Capture 125, Protect 175, Preserve 250 (Enhance 80 - cold pouch)

•When working with different pouch thickness’ (temperature settings) it is recommended to start first with the thinnest pouches.

•Prepare pouch and item for lamination. Place item within pouch centred and touching the leading sealed edge. Ensure the pouch is not too large for the item.

Select function for ‘HOT’ lamination. Hot lamination for normal hot pouch films. For 80mic pouch, the machine will select temperature of 90°c and motor speed of “5”. This is ideal for 80g copy paper and 80mic pouch. For thicker pouches, select the corresponding engine speed followed by temperature adjustment. Adjustment to temperature using “UP” and “DN” buttons to suit the thickness of paper as required.

EG:
250 micron	= motor speed 2
200 micron	= motor speed 3
175 micron	= motor speed 3
150 micron	= motor speed 3
125 micron	= motor speed 5
100 micron	= motor speed 5
80 micron	= motor speed 5

SPEED & MOTOR CONTROLS

“STOP” function.

Press and hold to stop the rollers running. Do not use for long periods especially when the roller temperature is above 90°c.

“Reverse” function.

Press and hold to reverse the rollers. This will help remove mis-fed pouches.

Select the motor speed to suit the chosen pouch thickness. Then adjust temperature to suit paper thickness if required. EG:

motor speed 1 = mounting board motor speed 2 = 250 micron & carriers motor speed 3 = 200, 175, 150 micron motor speed 5 = 125, 100, 80 micron

BEFORE LAMINATING

1.Ensure the machine is on a stable surface.

2.Check there is enough clear space (min 50cm) behind the machine to allow items to pass through freely.

3.Select the correct power lead for the appropriate power supply. Fit the lead to the machine (the socket is at the rear of the machine).

4.Plug the machine into an easily accessible mains socket. Switch the mains supply on.

5.Ensure the ‘Cooling Plate’ is fitted correctly with the graphics “Top Side” visible.

STEPS TO COLD LAMINATE

Cold lamination is the default function setting when power is switched on. Cold lamination can only operate when the rollers run at a temperature below 30°c. Press the “MEAS” button to measure the roller temperature.

1.Switch the power on (located at the rear of the machine).

2.Select the “COLD” function. Wait for roller temperature to fall below 30°c.

3.When “COLD” & “READY” lamp is on, select speed 2 or 3 and laminate cold pouches.

STEPS TO HOT LAMINATE

	2.	Select the “HOT” function. The temperature will automatically select

90°c. The rollers will start turning when the temperature is above 60°c.

When “READY” lamp is on, the machine is ready to start laminating.

Select the motor speed best suited to the pouch thickness (see graph on machine) EG: 80 micron pouch = motor speed 5 / 90°c. The machine will automatically select the optimum laminating temperature. Laminating temperatures can also be adjusted manually as required.

STEPS TO SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE

To preserve the rollers, do not switch off the machine when it is hot.

1.	Select “COLD” function. The machine will set temperature at 0°c and	3. Unplug the power cord.
	motor speed at “2”. When the roller temperature has cooled to below
	60°c, the rollers will stop automatically.
2.	Switch off the power using the switch at the back of the machine.

STORAGE & CLEANING

Switch off the machine at the wall. Allow the machine to cool. The outside of the machine can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or flammable materials to polish the machine. Cleaning sheets can be used with the machine. When the machine is warm – run the sheets through the machine to clean any residue off the rollers. For optimum performance, it is recommended that cleaning sheets are used with the machine regularly.

REPLACING THE FUSE

This machine is fitted with a fuse, located between the mains switch and the mains socket on the rear of the machine. To replace the fuse:

•	Isolate the machine from the mains supply.
•	Open the fuse holder with a screwdriver blade.
•	Insert a new fuse in the holder and replace the holder into the machine.

Note: Always use the recommended fuse and DO NOT replace it with one of a different rating.

THERMAL RE-SET

The machine is supplied with a thermal re-set switch. The switch will activate when the machine becomes too hot. This condition should not occur during normal use. To re-set the switch:

• Isolate the machine from the mains supply.

• Safely support the machine - to access the underside.

• Using a cross-head screwdriver, open the cover plate.

• Using a suitable tool, insert the tool through the aperture and press the metal switch until it snaps closed. The switch will close correctly, only if the machine is cool enough.

•Replace the cover plate and screws.

•Power-on the machine.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES - À CONSERVER

-Brancher la machine à une prise secteur facile d'accès.

-Pour éviter les risques de court-circuit - ne pas utiliser l'appareil à proximité de l'eau, ne pas renverser d'eau sur l'appareil, sur le cordon d'alimentation ou sur la prise secteur.

VEILLER à ce que la machine repose sur une surface stable.

FAIRE un essai de plastification sur du papier brouillon et régler la machine avant de plastifier les documents.

ENLEVER les agrafes et autres objets métalliques avant de procéder à la plastification.

TENIR la machine à l'écart des sources de chaleur et d'eau. ÉTEINDRE la machine après chaque utilisation.

DÉBRANCHER la machine si elle ne doit pas être utilisée pendant une longue période.

UTILISER des pochettes conçues pour utilisation aux réglages appropriés. TENIR les animaux domestiques à l'écart lors de l'utilisation.

VEILLER à ce que les pochettes auto-adhésives ne soient utilisées qu'avec le réglage froid.

NE PAS laisser le cordon en contact avec des surfaces chaudes. NE PAS laisser le cordon pendre de placards ou d'étagères. NE PAS utiliser l'appareil si le cordon est endommagé.

NE PAS tenter d'ouvrir ou de réparer la machine.

NE PAS dépasser les performances spécifiées pour la machine.

NE PAS laisser des enfants utiliser la machine sans la surveillance d'un adulte.

NE PAS plastifier des objets tranchants ou métalliques (par ex. : agrafes, trombones).

NE PAS plastifier des documents sensibles à la chaleur (par ex. : tickets, échographies, etc.) sur les réglages chauds.

NE PAS plastifier avec des pochettes auto-adhésives sur des réglages chauds. NE PAS plastifier une pochette vide.

FONCTIONS ET CONSEILS

•Toujours placer le document à plastifier dans une pochette de la taille appropriée.

•Toujours effectuer un test avec un document de taille et d'épaisseur similaires avant de plastifier le document proprement dit.

•Le cas échéant, recouper les bords une fois le document plastifié et refroidi.

•Pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats, utiliser des pochettes de la marque Fellowes ® :

Enhance 80, Impress 100, Capture 125, Protect 175, Preserve 250, (Enhance 80 - pochette froide)

8

•Lors de la plastification avec différentes épaisseurs de pochette (réglages de températures), il est conseillé de commencer par les pochettes les plus minces.

•Préparer la pochette et le document à plastifier. Placer le document dans la pochette, il doit être bien centré et toucher le bord déjà soudé. Vérifier que la pochette n'est pas trop grande pour le document.
