1. SAFETY
Your safety, as well as the safety of others is
important. Before you install or use the machine,
read and follow all the safety notices carefully in
this chapter. In this instruction manual, and on the
laminator, you will find important safety notices
regarding the laminator. Read all of the instructions
and save these instructions for further use.
The safety alert symbol precedes each
safety notice in this manual. The symbol indicates a
potential personal safety hazard to you or others, as
well as laminator or property damage.
This safety alert symbol indicates a potential
electrical shock. It warns you to not open the
laminator and expose yourself to hazardous voltage.
The following warnings are found on the 44DT
laminator.
44DT
This safety notice means that your fingers and
hands could be trapped and crushed in the rollers.
Clothing, jewelry and long hair could be caught in the
rollers and pull you into them
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to service or repair the
•
laminator.
Do not connect the laminator to an electrical
•
supply or attempt to operate the laminator
until you have completely read these
instructions. Maintain these instructions in a
convenient location for future reference.
This safety notice means that you could be seriously
hurt or killed if you open the laminator and expose
yourself to hazardous voltage.
This safety notice means that you could be burned
and your fingers and hands could be trapped and
crushed in the hot rollers.
Clothing, jewelry and long
hair could be caught in the rollers and pull you into
them.
To guard against injury, the following safety
•
precautions must be observed when installing
and using the laminator.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe bodily damage or death.
GENERAL
Keep hands, long hair, loose clothing, and
•
articles such as necklaces or ties, away from
the front of the heat and pull rollers to avoid
entanglement and entrapment
The heat rollers can reach temperatures of
•
over 300 °F (166.7 °C). Avoid contact with the
heat rollers during operation or shortly after
power has been removed from the laminator.
Do not use the laminator for other than its
•
intended purpose.
Do not place the laminator on an unstable
•

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his/her own
expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by

4. INSTALLATION
44DT
This chapter describes how to install the machine.
There are no operator serviceable parts to the
machine other than periodic cleaning. Refer to the
Operator Maintenance chapter.
WARNING: Do not attempt to service or repair
the laminator. Failure to observe this warning could
result severe personal injury or death.
Disconnect the plug from the receptacle and contact
your dealer/distributor when one or more of the
following has occurred.
The power supply cord or attachment plug is
•
damaged.
Liquid has been spilled into the laminator.
•
The laminator is malfunctioning after being
•
mishandled.
The laminator does not operate as described
•
in these instructions.
INSTALLATION
To set up the laminator for the first time:
Place the laminator on a stable flat surface
1.
capable of supporting the weight of the machine
and any materials. The surface should be at least
30 inches (0.76 m) high to assure comfortable
positioning during operation. All four rubber
support feet should be positioned completely on
the supporting surface. The supporting surface
may also be large enough to hold the material to
be laminated.
The laminator should be located so that exiting
2.
film drops freely to the floor or to a table that
is lower than the exit point of the laminator.
Accumulation of laminate immediately behind the
laminator as it exits the equipment may cause
the film to wrap around the rollers, jamming the
machine.
Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat
3.
or cold. The laminator should not be in the direct
path of forced heated or cooled air.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Inspect the package for damage. Shipping damage
should be brought to the immediate attention of the
delivering carrier.
Connect the attachment plug provided with the
4.
laminator to a suitably grounded outlet only.
Avoid connecting other equipment to the
same branch circuit to which the laminator
is connected, as this may result in nuisance
tripping of circuit breakers or blowing fuses.
