For your safety...

 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.

 Read all safety messages located in this instruction manual and on the
laminator very carefully.

 Always lower the safety shield before operating your laminator.
 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.

 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.

 Keep hands and clothing away from rollers. The rollers are pinch points that
can trap body parts or clothing and cause serious injury.

 Do not touch the rollers while the laminator heater power is on. Turn
rollers off and allow to cool.

 Do not use the laminator for other than its intended purpose.

of the box for shipping damage. Damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the
delivering carrier and your dealer.

space on all four sides of the laminator.
