IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGES
AND ELECTRICAL SAFEGUARDS

For your protection, do not connect the laminator to electrical power or attempt to operate it until
you read these instructions completely. Keep these instructions in a convenient location for
future reference. This instruction manual and labels affixed to the laminator are important safety
messages. Read these messages carefully.

For your safety...

 Keep hands, long hair, clothing, and other loose articles such as jewelry and ties,

away from laminator’s moving parts.

 Save these Operating Instructions for later use.
 Do not touch the heated rollers while the laminator power is turned on. Allow

rollers to cool completely before touching.

 Do not use the laminator for other than its intended purpose.
 Place laminator on a sturdy cart, stand, or table. A laminator placed on an

unstable surface may fall, causing serious bodily injury. Move laminator with
caution. Quick stops, excessive force, or uneven floor surfaces may cause the
laminator and cart to overturn.

 Never override or attempt to defeat electrical or mechanical safety interlock

devices.

 Never insert objects or spill liquids in or on the laminator. They may contact

dangerous voltage points or short out components that could result in fire or
electrical shock.

 The laminator should only be operated from the type of power source indicated in

these Operating Instructions and on the data plate located on the rear panel of
the laminator.

 The three-pronged grounding plug is a safety feature and will only fit into a

grounding-type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet
contact a qualified electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.

 Do not leave the laminator power on overnight. Unplug the laminator at the end

of the day.

 Unplug the laminator before moving it or when it is not in use for an extended

period of time as a precaution against the possibility of an internal malfunction
that could create a fire hazard.

 Do not operate the laminator with a damaged power supply cord or plug, or after

it malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.

 Keep the power cord away from hot or wet surfaces.

4

 Do not overload electrical outlets beyond their capacity as this can result in fire or

electrical shock. This unit is rated at 15 amps and should be the only item
plugged into a 15 or 12 amp branch circuit. When connected to a 20 amp branch
circuit any items in addition to the EZPRO27 must not exceed 4 amps.

 Adjust only those controls that are specified in these Operating Instructions.
 Do not attempt to service or repair the laminator yourself. Unplug the laminator

from the electrical outlet and contact an authorized service representative under
any of the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into the laminator or it has been exposed to water.

• If the laminator has been subjected to excessive jarring through being
dropped or bumped.

• If the laminator does not operate normally when following the operating
instructions.
