Overheating Protection

This appliance is fitted with overheating protection.
Should the motor become too hot due to excessive
loading, the appliance switches itself off automati­cally. In this case, disconnect the plug from the
mains power socket and wait until the appliance
has cooled down to room temperature. You can
then reconnect the plug to the mains power socket
and continue using the appliance. We recommend
that, after 2 hours continuous use, you allow the ap­pliance to cool down for about 30 minutes.

5. Safety instructions

• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical, physio­logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in
experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.

• Unplug the power cable after every use and be­fore cleaning, so as to prevent the appliance from
inadvertently switching itself on.

• Check the appliance and all parts for visible
damages. The safety concept can work only if
the appliance is in a faultless condition.

• Never perform hot lamination on flammable,
heat-sensitive and/or meltable materials and do
not laminate drawings on temperature-sensitive
paper or material that will undergo changes in
colour or quality when subjected to heat.

• Never laminate valuable or unique documents.
Although the laminator satisfies all predominant
safety norms and standards, errors can never be
completely discounted - as with all electrical ap­pliances. Errors with the laminator can result in
damage to the document being laminated.

• Do NOT laminate any document which, together
with the laminating pouch, would have a thickness
of more than 1,0 mm. Should you do so, the lami­nating pouch could cant itself inside the laminating
appliance. This would damage the laminating pouch,
the document being laminated as well as the
laminator.

• Do not use an extension cable. Place the appliance
where the mains power socket is easily accessible,
so that in the event of an emergency the plug can
be quickly withdrawn.

• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate
remote control system to operate the appliance.

• Place the appliance where the power wall socket
is easily accessible, so that in the event of an
emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn.

 Risk of electrical shock!

• Connect the appliance to a mains power socket
with a mains voltage of 220-240 V ~50 Hz.

• Do not take the appliance into use if the power
cable or the plug is damaged.

• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.

• NEVER immerse the appliance in water.
Wipe it only with a damp cloth.

• Do not expose the appliance to rain and never
use it in a humid or wet environment.

• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet
during operation.

• Unplug the appliance immediately after use.
The appliance is free of electricity only when you
remove the plug from the mains power socket.

• Do not open the housing or attempt to repair the
appliance yourself. Should you do so, device safety
can no longer be assured and the warranty will
become void.

 Risk of fire!

• Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of hot
surfaces.

• Do not place the appliance at locations exposed
to direct sunlight.
This could lead to overheating and cause irrepa­rable damage.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in
use.

• NEVER cover the ventilation slits on the top of the
appliance while it is switched on.

 Risk of injury!

•

Keep children away from the connecting cable and
the appliance. Children frequently underestimate the
dangers of electrical devices.

• Ensure that the appliance stands with a safe and
secure positioning.

• Do not operate the appliance if it has sustained
a fall or is damaged. Arrange for the appliance
to be checked and, if necessary, repaired by a
qualified expert.

• Some parts of the appliance become very hot
during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch
these parts.

6. Suitable laminating pouches

• For hot lamination you can use pouches with a
width of up to 230 mm and a maximum thickness
of 125 micron.

• Please note that each laminating pouch may only
be used once.

 For hot lamination, use only laminating

pouches that are expressly designated
for hot lamination.
For cold lamination, use only laminating
pouches that are expressly designated
for cold lamination.

 Take note that the laminating pouches in-

cluded with the laminator are intended
exclusively for hot lamination.

8. Preparing for hot lamination

➩ Insert the foil guide rails

q

in the designated

holes on the rear of the laminator.

➩ Fold out the document supports

s

, so that the
documents can be pulled in straight into the slot
for manual foil feed

t

.

➩ Insert the plug of the laminator into a mains

power socket.

➩ Provide a firm location for the appliance.
➩ Set the selector switch for hot and cold lamina-

tion

i

to "HOT ".

➩ Set the foil thickness switch

o

to the desired foil
thickness (80 or 125 microns). The red ON/OFF
indicator lamp

u

will now glow. The lami-

nator heats itself up to its operating temperature.

• As soon as the green indicator lamp "Ready"

y

glows, the laminator has reached its

operating temperature.

 Attainment of the operating temperature

is indicated by the lighting up of the green
LED indicator lamp "Ready"

y

. For a
more uniform laminating result we recom­mend, especially for thinner foils (below
125 Micron) and after adjustment to a dif­ferent foil thickness, to first wait an addi­tional 2-3 minutes before beginning with
lamination.

➩ Lay the document to be laminated into a lami-

nating pouch of the appropriate size.

 Make certain that all corners of the docu-

ment have at least two millimetres of space
to the edge of the laminating pouch, as
shown in Fig. 1. Make certain that you use
only one pouch for laminating. First open
it up, as shown in Fig. 2.

 For information about the lamination

process, please read section 10.

9. Preparing for cold lamination

 If you have previously performed hot lami-

nation:
After hot laminating, allow the laminator
to cool down completely before beginning
with cold lamination. Remember, the rollers
inside the laminator will still be hot. These
can damage the laminating pouch and the
document to be laminated!

➩ Insert the foil guide rails

q

in the designated

holes on the rear of the laminator.

➩ Pull out the document supports

s

so that the
documents can be pulled in straight into the slot
for manual foil feed

t

.

➩ Insert the plug of the laminator into a mains

power socket.

➩ Provide a firm location for the appliance.
➩ Set the selector switch for hot and cold lamina-

tion

i

to "COLD".

 Take note: For cold lamination, ALWAYS place

the foil thickness switch

o

at 125 microns.

The red ON/OFF indicator lamp

u

and

the green indicator lamp "Ready"

y

now glow.

➩ Place the document to be laminated into a

laminating pouch of the matching size.

 Make certain that all corners of the docu-

ment have at least two millimetres of space
to the edge of the laminating pouch, as
shown in Fig. 1.

 Make certain that you use only one pouch

for laminating. First open it up, as shown
in Fig. 2.

 For information about the lamination pro-

cess, please read section 10.

10. Lamination process

➩ Lay the laminating pouch onto the pouch guide

q

.
Lay the right or left edge of the laminating pouch
against the pouch format lock

r

(closed side

leading). Slide the pouch format lock

r

together
until the selected format size is reached. This pre­vents the laminating pouch from being pulled in
at an angle.

 Should the laminating pouch be pulled in

at an angle, use the "Anti-Blocking Funk­tion" as described in chapter 11.

➩ Now slide the laminating pouch slowly into the

slot for manual pouch input

t

.

➩ When you have slid the laminating pouch several

centimetres into the slot

t

, it will start to be pulled
in automatically. Release the laminating pouch
as soon as you notice it being pulled in auto­matically.

 Ensure there is at least 45 cm of open space

in front of the laminator. If you do not, the
laminating pouch will not be completely
ejected from the laminator after lamina­tion. This could damage the laminated
pouch.

➩ The finished laminated pocket is now ejected

from the foil slot

a

of the laminator.

Only after hot lamination:

➩ Remove them immediately from the appliance,

as hot foil pockets can still be easily deformed.
Place them on a flat surface to cool down.

 To improve the lamination result, you can

weigh down the still hot foil bag with a
book, a file folder or other heavy, smooth
object. This will give it a smooth and flaw­less surface.

- 7 -

➩ If you do not want to start another lamination

process, turn the foil thickness switch

o

to ABS
(OFF) and withdraw the plug from the mains
power socket.

11. Anti-Blocking Switch (ABS)

At the start of the lamination process, the pouch
may be pulled in at an angle or jam itself inside the
appliance.

➩ Turn the anti-blocking switch (ABS)

o

to the

position ABS.

• The laminate pouch is not pulled any further in.

➩ Remove the laminate pouch.
➩ Turn the anti-blocking switch (ABS)

o

back to

the desired foil thickness.

➩ Re-start the lamination process.

12. Trimming function

Should you wish to use the trimming function on the
pouch guide

q

, dismantle the pouch guide q.

➩ If necessary, fold the documents supports

s

down.

➩ Adjust the cutter attachment

d

so that it forms

a straight face with the foil guide rails

q

.

➩ Slide the cutting head

e

to the end stop (the

cutting head

e

can be slid to both ends of the

cutting rail

w

).

➩ Flap the cutting rail

w

upwards with the rounded
grip and position the document on the pouch
guide

q

. Restrain the document by sliding the

pouch format locks

r

together until they touch

both sides of the document.

➩ Use the markings on the measurement table to

align the document precisely.

➩ Flap the cutting rail

w

downwards so that it

engages.

➩ Hold the paper in a secure position with your

left hand.

➩ To trim, press the cutting head

e

down with
the right hand and then slide it with one pull or
push over the document.

13.Cleaning and care

Potentially fatal electrical shock:

• Never open the appliance housing. There
are no user-serviceable elements inside.

• Never submerse the appliance into water
or other liquids!

Cleaning the housing:

 Clean the surface of the housing with a

slightly moistened cleaning cloth.

➩ First remove the plug.
➩ Allow the appliance to cool down completely.
➩ Ensure that no moisture can permeate into the

appliance.

Cleaning the interior of the appliance:

With every lamination, contaminants are deposited
on the rollers inside the laminator. Over time, this re­duces the performance of the laminator. You should
therefore clean the rollers inside the laminator after
use.

➩ Prepare the appliance as described in Chapter

8 "Preparing for hot lamination", up to the point
where the green indicator lamp "Ready"

y

glows.

- 8 -

➩ Then run a sheet of DIN A3 paper, folded in

the middle (maximum thickness 1.0 mm) …

• without a laminating pouch and

• with the fold first

… slowly into the slot for manual pouch input t.

➩ Release the sheet as soon as you notice it

being pulled in automatically.

• The contaminants on the rollers inside the lami­nator now firmly attach themselves to the sheet
of paper. The paper is discharged from the foil
slot

a

of the laminator.

➩ Repeat this cleaning process several times.

Use a fresh clean sheet of paper each time.
When you no longer see any contaminants on
the paper, the rollers inside the laminator are
clean.

14. Storage

Allow the appliance to cool down completely
before putting it into storage.

 Do not store the laminator in damp loca-

tions where moisture could enter inside
the appliance (e.g. cellars)!
