NEED HELP?
Switch the power on (located in the carry handle to the right side of the
machine).
Switch the ‘Standby’ button on at the control panel. Check the red power LED
is on. The machine will automatically warm-up to the 80 micron setting.
Select ‘Temp’ button to scroll through other pouch thickness settings as
required. The pouch setting will light yellow.
When the selected temperature is set, the green ready LED will flash and a
beep signal will sound.
Place the pouch, sealed edge first, into the pouch / document entry. Keep the
pouch straight and central within the document entry, not on an angle. Use
the entry markings as a guide.
Upon exit, the laminated pouch may be hot and soft. To prevent jamming
remove the pouch immediately. Place pouch on to a flat surface to cool. Take
care when handling a hot pouch.
