Operation
For Use With Hot Pouches
1. Place the laminator on a sturdy, flat work surface.
Allow ample clearance behind the laminator for
laminated items to exit completely.
2. Plug the laminator into a power source that
matches the laminator’s rate of voltage.
NOTE: Fluctuating voltage may cause inconsistent
lamination or mechanical problems with the
laminator. If you suspect voltage problems, use a
voltage stabilizer.
3. Turn power switch on.
NOTE: During first usage, a
small white puff of smoke may appear which is
common to a new laminator.
4. Select temperature according to pouch thickness.
5. Wait 2-3 minutes for green ready light to
illuminate. This indicates laminator is ready for
use.
6. Turn motor switch on.
7. Place item to be laminated into a Fellowes’
laminating pouch. Center the item for an even
border; a border of approximately 1/8” to 1/4”
is recommended (
optional
, place pouch into
carrier).
8. Insert the pouch (
optional
, with carrier), sealed
edge first, slowly into the front loading area of the
laminator until it engages with the machine.
9. The finished laminated item will automatically exit
at the rear of the machine. After the pouch/carrier
has stopped moving, place it on a flat surface and
allow to cool for one minute.
10. Turn the laminator off and unplug after
completion of usage.
For Use With Cold Pouches
1. Follow machine operating instructions 1 and 2.
2. Turn green dial to “cold” position. If you have
been using the machine in its hot mode, you will
need to wait approximately 45 minutes for it to
cool down.
WARNING: Failure to do this may damage your
machine.
3. Each pack of cold pouches includes a plastic leader
with an adhesive strip. Fold back adhesive band
protector on leader and attach leader to the sealed
edge of the cold pouch.
4. Turn machine on.
5. Position the pouch so that the clear flap is facing
downward. Insert pouch (leader first) into the
machine until the rollers grab the leader (2-3
seconds). IMMEDIATELY TURN THE MACHINE OFF!
6. Drape adhesive pouch flap over the top of the
laminator. Center document (face up) on top of
clear flap. Pull off adhesive release paper, leaving
this flap draped over machine.
7. Turn machine on. The finished laminated item will
automatically exit the rear of the machine.
8. Turn the laminator off and unplug after
completion of usage.
CAUTION: WE DO NOT RECOMMEND LAMINATING
PHOTOS ON THE “HOT” SETTING. THE PROCESS OF
LAMINATION PERMANENTLY BONDS THE LAMINATING
POUCH TO THE ITEM BEING PROCESSED. IF YOU ARE
LAMINATING A ONE OF A KIND ITEM, WE RECOMMEND
THAT YOU TEST-LAMINATE A SIMILAR TYPE MATERIAL
FIRST. FOR BEST RESULTS ALWAYS USE FELLOWES
LAMINATING POUCHES AND CARRIERS FOR COLD
POUCHES FOR PHOTOS.
