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...

 

 

  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 
stand. 

 

  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.
