The PHOENIX 44 is a professional laminator
designed for ease of use. The process speed
and temperature have been preset to eliminate
operator guesswork. The factory setting wil
l
facilitate good quality results using the
Flexible Pouches and Pouch Boards using low
temperature adhesives.
The PHOENIX 44 can handle Flexible Pouches
and Pouch Boards up to 44 inches (1120mm) wide.
Please familiarize yourself with machine
operation before installation, operating the
Control Panel and the Nip Control Knob.
Installation of your PHOENIX Laminator
Please read and fully understand the entire manual
before proceeding to use your laminator.
Without the PHOENIX Stand, your PHOENIX
laminator must be lifted and carried to the place
where it will be used. This should be done by at least
two people, one on each side. Grasp the machine
8-10 inches (20cm-25cm) from the side. It should
only be placed on a sturdy, clean, flat, level surface
able to support 150 lbs. (70kg). See Stand
instructions.
Keep the area around your laminator clear with
adequate space around it so you can feed, receive
and trim mounted and/or laminated images.
Unpacking your Laminator
1. Open the box, and lift the machine out (at least
two persons necessary!). Grasp the machine
8"-10" (200mm-250mm) from either side, at
the bottom metal parts. Be careful! The
polyethylene bag is slippery!
2. Place the machine on the work area described
above.
3. Remove the protective molded foam.
4. Remove the polyethylene bag.
5. Inspect the machine for any physical damage
(if damage does exist, report this to the Freight
Company on the BILL OF LADING. Contact
Your Dealer to determine if a replacement machine
should be shipped to you.
NOTICE! Retain original packaging.
Failure to return machines properly packed in
original packaging will impose a fifteen
percent restocking fee plus costs to repair
shipping damage. Contact Technical Service
for Return Authorization (see rear cover).
Setting up your Laminator
The PHOENIX laminator should be installed
next to a power/main outlet. We do not
recommend using an extension cord, but if
needed, make sure the cord rating meets or
exceeds the machine rating.
The plug and the outlet must be easily
accessible. Please ensure that you plug your
laminator into a grounded, three-prong
outlet. Please ensure that the total load of the
other items using the same circuit breaker do
not exceed its breaking value.
The US versions of the PHOENIX machines
are provided with a fixed power cable and
NEMA 5-20 plug.
Use 120Vac 20A grounded outlet
only.
110V 20 amp outlet
Using your PHOENIX 44
Plug the power cable into the grounded outlet
with appropriate service as described above.
Turn on power with main power switch. Roller
will turn continuously while power is on.
Depress the Heat switch and wait approxi-
mately 20 minutes for the unit to reach its
operating temperature. Also turn the Speed
on and set the Control Knob to zero so that
the roll heats uniformly. When Ready LED in-
dicator is constantly lit, the PHOENIX lamina-
tor is ready for use.
CAUTION! Set the Control Knob to the
“Open” position when not in use.
NOTE:
The laminator may emit vapors the
first few times it is used. This is normal and
will cease after several minutes of use.
