For your safety
Intended use
This device has been developed for laminating paper or
similar materials. Use it exclusively for this purpose, as
described in these operating instructions.
Precautions for setup
•
The device is for indoor use only. Do not use outdoors.
•
Prior to connection make sure your local mains voltage
matches the rating indicated on the device.
•
Set the device up close to a readily accessible mains
socket. Make sure the device can be disconnected
from mains at all times.
•
Protect the mains cord from being strained, pinched or
buckled and place it in a way to prevent people from
tripping over the cord. Particularly ensure that damage
is avoided at the plug and the point where the cord
exits from the device.
•
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight and do not
place it on heat-sensitive surfaces, near heaters, air
conditioners or flammable substances.
•
Do not drop or hit the device.
Precautions for operation
•
Never leave the device unattended when switched on.
•
Keep the device away from children (risk of injury!).
•
Ensure good aeration while laminating (e. g. open a
window).
•
Protect the device from moisture and do not operate it
when mains cord or plug are defective.
•
Always grasp the plug, not the cord itself. Never touch
a mains plug with wet hands.
•
Unplug the device when not in use.
•
Do not place anything on top of the device and do not
insert anything into the venting slots.
Precautions for cleaning, transport and storage
•
Unplug and let the device cool down before cleaning,
moving or storing it. When carrying the laminator,
always hold it by the recessed grips on both sides.
•
Use a soft, damp cloth and a dishwashing detergent
for cleaning. Do not use cleaning tissues or chemical
substances which might damage the surface.
•
Do not open the housing and do not attempt to repair
the device yourself. Contact your dealer for any
required repairs. Read guarantee declaration for fur-
ther information.
Tips for good results
To ensure the best possible lamination and to avoid any
damage to the laminator, please take the following pre-
cautions:
•
Laminating pouches are made of two sides linked to
each other. Never laminate with only one side of a
laminating pouch.
•
Always insert laminating pouches into the unit with the
folded side first. Do not insert a laminating pouch until
the previous laminated document has been removed.
•
Never laminate empty pouches. Always insert a docu-
ment into the pouch when laminating.
•
Do not cut the pouch prior to lamination. Trim the
pouch to size after lamination.
•
Do not laminate heat-sensitive, wet, wavy or crinkly
materials.
•
Do not laminate materials thicker than specified in this
manual.
•
Do not laminate metal objects.
•
The lamination process is irreversible. Please keep
this in mind when laminating unique pieces.
•
Ensure there is sufficient space behind the laminator
so the laminated item is not blocked. By slightly sup-
porting the pouch with one hand from the bottom
side, deformation of the still warm document can be
avoided.
•
Do not pull or push the pouch and do not switch off the
laminator during normal lamination.
Recommended materials
•
Your Leitz laminator is suitable for lamination of most
printed papers, copier, laser and ink jet papers with
laminating pouches of 75 µm (mic.) to 125 µm up to a
maximum thickness of 0.6 mm.
•
To improve the results using thicker materials like pho-
tographs, coated inkjet and laser papers, the laminator
offers a PHOTO setting.
•
To ensure high-quality results, use Leitz brand pouches
only. This also helps to prolong the lifetime of the device.
