How to use your laminator
1) Carefully remove the laminator from all of its packaging and place it on a flat, level surface. Make sure you
keep the original packaging somewhere safe (in case this is needed in the future).
2) Plug the power cable into an AC outlet and press the FORWARD button on the laminator control panel which will
turn the power on. The red power light will illuminate.
3) Set the temperature control to the required setting (see the chart opposite for guidance).
3) The laminator will begin to warm up, this will take around 5 minutes.
4) Once it has reached the set temperature, the green READY light will illuminate.
6) Once the READY power light glows green, you are ready to laminate. Place your document in the laminating pouch
ensuring that you leave a 5mm gap around the edge. If you are laminating small, cut-up or odd shaped pieces then
you will need to use a Lifejacket® (ask your supplier for more details). Feed your document and pouch into the
laminator making sure it goes in straight and SEALED END FIRST. Once laminated, the finished document will appear
at the exit of the laminator at the back.
!
Do not tug or pull the document as it comes out of the back of the laminator. Wait until it becomes free.
Once you have finished using your laminator, set the FORWARD button to the central ‘0’ position to turn it off.
It is important that you watch your document as you laminate in case of jamming. If your laminating appears to be
jamming, press the REVERSE switch and gently ease the document back out.

What is a ‘Lifejacket®’?
The Lifejacket® is a highly durable patented product made from teflon® that should be used when laminating
cut-up, odd shaped pieces (such as shapes, letters, signs as shown above) to prevent damage to your laminator
and potential jamming. Why use a Lifejacket®?
. Protect your laminator from jamming
. Extend the life of your laminator by using the Lifejacket® - stops adhesive seeping onto the rollers
. Eliminate repair bills as this product keeps your laminator working at an optimum level
. Available in A4, A3 and A2 sizes to protect documents of all sizes
Ask your supplier for more details.
Temperature control is designed for laminating pouches and documents of varying thickness. Thicker
documents need more heat. The table below gives an indication of the correct temperature setting required.
Please note this is a guide only. Other factors can affect the laminator such as room temperature and the
thickness of document being laminated.
