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.
