General Safeguards
• Use this laminator only for its intended purposes
as according to the specifications outlined in the
operating instructions.
• Keep hands, long hair, loose clothing and articles
such as necklaces or ties away from the front of the
feed rollers to avoid entanglement and entrapment.

contact with the internal rollers when laminator is
powered on or shortly after the laminator has been

excess of 260º F / 126.7° C.
• Keep hands and fingers away from the path of the
sharp film cutter blade located at the film exit.

Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE)
At the end of its useful life, your product is
considered to be WEEE. As such, it is important to
note that: WEEE is not to be disposed of as unsorted
municipal waste. It is to be collected separately such
that it can be disassembled so its components and
materials can be recycled, re-used, and recovered
(burned for energy content in the production of
electricity).
Public collection points have been set up by
municipalities for the collection of WEEE, free of
charge to you.
Please return your WEEE to the collection facility
nearest your home or office.
If you have difficulty locating a collection facility, the
retailer that sold you the product should accept your
WEEE.
If you are no longer in contact with your retailer,
please contact ACCO for assistance with this matter.
Recycling of WEEE is geared toward protecting the
environment, protecting human health, preserving
raw materials, improving sustainable development,
and ensuring a better supply of commodities in the
European Union. This will be achieved by retrieving
valuable secondary raw materials and reducing the
disposal of waste. You can contribute to the success
of these goals by returning your WEEE to a collection
facility.
Your product is marked with the WEEE symbol
(wheelie bin with an X through it). This symbol is to
inform you that the WEEE is not to be disposed of as
unsorted municipal waste.
