•
Lay contents face up
on the transparent, non-adhesive side of
a specially designed cold lamination pouch, but do not close the
pouch
•
Insert full length
of sealed pouch edge into the entry, as
shown, while bending the protective sheet backwards over the
machine and grasping its free edge
•
Continue holding
the protective sheet, which will peel away as
the pouch is drawn through the machine.
If you see the pouch is not going in straight and might get dam-
aged, use the reverse mode, as described under Hot Lamination .
Maintenance
To keep your laminator free of adhesives that could hurt the quality of your work,
clean the
rollers regularly:
• Select temperature 140° C if it is not already on this setting
• Wait for the readiness light and signal, if necessary
• Insert the cleaning sheet included in the package, repeating one or two times
• Insert a plain white sheet of paper to test for remaining traces, and
• Reinsert the cleaning sheet, if necessary, and retest.
To clean the exterior of your machine, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with plain water.
Troubleshooting
If you are
not getting the quality
you should be, you can probably solve the problem
quickly. If, for example, your end product is:
•
Cloudy
- Reduce the speed and pass it through again. If the sheet is still not completely
transparent, increase the temperature in increments of 5°.
• Wavy - For the next pouch, increase the speed and/or reduce the temperature in increments
of 5°. Passing through the cleaning sheet or turning up the speed will help cool down the
rollers. The green ready light
C
will reappear as soon as the lower temperature has been
reached.
•
Spotted
- Follow the cleaning procedure described under Maintenance to remove traces of
adhesive.
• Open on edges - Next time make sure the contents are at least 3 mm (1/8 inch), from the
unsealed edges of the pouch.
If the pouch or mounting board is
not going in straight
or gets
stuck in the rollers
, use the
reverse mode, as described under Hot Lamination .
