IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic
precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of electric shock and injury, including the
following:

1. Carefully read all instructions

2. Always unplug the appliance when not in use

or before cleaning.

3. Extreme caution to be taken when appliance

is used by, or near to, children or invalids.

4. To protect against risk of electrical hazards,

do not immerse power cord, plug, or
appliance in water or other liquids.

5. Do not insert any metal objects, e.g. scissors,

or foreign objects into the entry or exit areas
of the machine. Do not laminate metallic
objects.

6. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged

power cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions, has been dropped or is
damaged in any manner.

7. The plug on the power cord is the disconnect

device.

8. The equipment should be installed near the

outlet socket and the socket should be easily
accessible.

OPERATION

Before you use your LP Laminating machine for
the first time, it is recommended that you
familiarise yourself with the machine’s operation
and controls. Check the results using a range of
sample sheets of paper before laminating your
valuable original documents.

IMPORTANT

1. It is important that you do not use a Carrier

with this machine. This can result in the
laminator becoming jammed or failing to run.
This is an operator fault and is not covered
by a manufacturer’s warranty. (A carrier is
made from folded card and is supplied with
most packs of pouches).

2. Do not attempt to laminate items which are

too thick for your laminator i.e. the total
thickness including the pouch must not
exceed 1.0mm.

HOT LAMINATING

1. Plug the laminator into a convenient power

socket

2. Switch on the power switch (

) , the Red

light will illuminate to indicate that the power
is on

3. Select the appropriate temperature/pouch

setting for the thickness of pouch.

4. The laminator will pre-heat for approximately

3-4 minutes.

5. Whilst the laminator is pre heating, you can

prepare your item to be laminated by placing
it centrally into the correct sized pouch,
leaving the sealed edge intact.

6. When the required temperature is reached the

Green light will come on.

7. Gently insert the pouch, sealed edge first,

squarely between the entry guides into the
front of the laminator until it engages with
automatic feed rollers.

8. The pouch will move through the unit and exit

at rear.

9. During the laminating process the Green light

may go off as heat is absorbed by the
laminate. Always wait until the Green light is
on before laminating your next document.

10. Always turn your laminator OFF after use. (

REVERSE FUNCTION

CAUTION:

Do not try to force the pouch

into the laminator or try to pull the pouch out.
This will damage (and could break) the laminator
as well as not allowing for proper processing of
the laminating pouch.

There is a reverse feature included on the on/off
button (A) of the machine. If you need to retrieve
a document during lamination:
1. Press the reverse button.

2. With the other hand gently hold the pouch

and document.

3. If the pouch has gone completely into the

machine and is not sticking out of the front or
back, there is nothing you can do. Do not try
to open the machine. This can be dangerous
and will invalidate the warranty.

PHOTO LAMINATING

1. Your Rexel LP Laminator will laminate

photographs without the need for special
pouches. Photographs have a sealed plastic
surface that can produce disappointing
results on some laminators as the adhesive
will show as bubbles on the surface of the
photograph.

2. Heavily coloured inkjet copies and varnished

printed pages will also have excellent results
on this laminator with standard pouches.

COLD LAMINATING

1. Select cold setting on the temperature dial.

2. Use ‘cold’ or ‘self-seal’ pouches

3. Remember, when the machine is cold the

temperature is correct to process ‘cold’ or
‘self-seal’ pouches. The green ready light
does not illuminate for the cold setting.

CAUTION:

Remember if you have been hot

laminating and then wish to Cold laminate the
machine will have to cool

for at least 1 hour

before laminating can commence. Never use
‘self-seal’ pouches on a hot setting, as they will
be spoilt along with the document inside.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. The hot lamination process achieves the

required result by bonding into the surface of
your document. Once you have laminated
your document it cannot be retrieved

2. Do not attempt to hot laminate heat sensitive

documents such as thermal paper, wax
based inks etc.

3. If the laminated document has a milky

appearance, you may need to process it
again at a higher temperature

If the laminated document is ridged and hard

it has probably been laminated too hot, and
you should put other laminates through at a
lower setting.

5. If in doubt, start at a lower temperature and if

the laminate does not bond to the document
(appears cloudy) then repeat using a higher
temperature.

If air pockets develop during processing, use

a small sharp needle or pin to gently
puncture pockets and process again.

7. Do not handle the inside of the laminating

pouch moisture from your hands could impair
the processing quality.

CARE AND CLEANING

This personal laminator is for low volume use
only. No servicing other than external cleaning
