For your safety...
Save these Operating Instructions for later use.
Keep hands, long hair, clothing, and other loose articles such as jewelry and ties, away from
laminator’s moving parts.
Do not touch the heat shoes while the laminator power is turned on. Allow shoes 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. Use caution when moving laminator on a rolling cart or

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.
Do not overload electrical outlets beyond their capacity as this can result in fire or electrical
shock.
Adjust only those controls that are specified in these Operating Instructions.
