OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

VALUELAM 4500 

 
 

I. 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. 

 

II. Electrical Safeguards... 

 

 

 

Never override or attempt to defeat electrical or mechanical safety interlock 
devices. 

 

 

The machine has been manufactured with a plug on the machine designed to 
operate on a 110volt, 20 Ampere circuit. 

 
 

 

Disconnect power supply before servicing your laminator.   

 
 

 

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

 

 

in these OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and on the serial label located on the 

 

 

rear panel of the unit.
