Operating Instructions

27C

Your safety, as well as the safety of others is 
important. Before you install or use the machine, 
read and follow all the safety notices carefully in 
this chapter. In this instruction manual, and on the 
laminator, you will find important safety notices 
regarding the laminator. Read all of the instructions 
and save these instructions for further use.  

 The safety alert symbol precedes each 

safety notice in this manual. The symbol indicates a 
potential personal safety hazard to you or others, as 
well as laminator or property damage.

 

 This safety alert symbol indicates a potential 

electrical shock. It warns you to not open the 
laminator and expose yourself to hazardous voltage.

The following warnings are found on the 27C 
laminator. 

This safety notice means that you could be seriously 
hurt or killed if you open the laminator and expose 
yourself to hazardous voltage. 

This safety notice means that your fingers and 
hands could be trapped and crushed in the rollers. 
Clothing, jewelry and long hair could be caught in the 
rollers and pull you into them.  

W

ARNINGS

Do not attempt to service or repair the 

laminator.

Do not connect the laminator to an electrical 
supply or attempt to operate the laminator 
until you have completely read these 
instructions. Maintain these instructions in a 
convenient location for future reference.

To guard against injury, the following safety 
precautions must be observed when installing 
and using the laminator.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in 
severe bodily damage or death.

G

ENERAL

Keep hands, long hair, loose clothing, and 
articles such as necklaces or ties, away from 
the front of the rollers to avoid entanglement 
and entrapment 

Do not use the laminator for other than its 
intended purpose.

Do not place the laminator on an unstable 
cart, stand or table. An unstable surface may 
cause the laminator to fall resulting in serious 
bodily injury. Avoid quick stops, excessive 
force and uneven floor surfaces when moving 
the laminator on a cart or stand.

Do not defeat or remove electrical and 
mechanical safety equipment such as 
interlocks, shields and guards.

 

Do not insert objects unsuitable for lamination 
or expose the equipment to liquids.
