6.6 Important points to remember
WARNING: Do not press RUN until READY has
illuminated.
WARNING: To cut film or web, only use the rear
slitter or an enclosed blade around the laminator.
WARNING: Do not force items into the laminator.
An item that is not easily drawn into the laminator is
probably to thick to laminate.
WARNING: Do not attempt to laminate abrasive
or metal objects such as staples, paper clips and
glitter as they may damage the heat rollers.
WARNING: Do not attempt to laminate adhesives
marked “FLAMMABLE”.
CAUTION: Avoid direct contact with the heat rollers
when changing the supply rolls after the laminator
has been running.
CAUTION: Do not stop the laminator before an item
has completely exited the pull rollers. Even a
momentary stop will cause a dwell line (heat line) on
the laminated item.
INFORMATION: Wrinkles may result if an attempt
is made to reposition an item once it has entered
the nip of the heat rollers.
INFORMATION: When feeding long items,
skewing may occur if the item is not fed into the
laminator straight. Use the feed guide to help prevent
this from happening.
INFORMATION: When feeding two items into the
laminator, do not mix thin and thick items together
as this will create a poor edge seal.
INFORMATION: If the machine is not working,
always check that the safety shield is properly
closed, the feed table is properly installed and the
circuit breaker has not tripped before placing a
service call.
