LMA4-V Instruction Manual
Thank you for purchasing the TEXET A4 Personal Laminator, LMA4V, under normal use and
maintenance your Laminator will provide years of satisfactory performance. Please read the
instruction manual carefully and retain for future reference.
General Safety.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce risk
of injury or electric shock, including the following:
Always unplug the appliance when not in use.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons, (including Children), with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience or
knowledge. They should be given supervision and instruction in the use of the
appliance, by a person responsible for their safety.
The laminator will become very hot in use and care should be taken when handling
the machine.
Protect against the risk of electrical hazards. Do not immerse the power cord, plug
or appliance in water or other liquids, or use near water.
Do not insert any metal objects or other foreign objects such as jewellery, hair,
fingers or clothing into the appliance.
Remove paper clips and staples before laminating.
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged plug or power cord or after the
appliance has malfunctioned or become damaged in some manner.
If the Power Cord is damaged , it must be replaced by a qualified Engineer in order
to avoid a hazard.
The appliance should be installed near the outlet socket and the socket should be
easily accessible.
Only laminate paper or board. Do not laminate unusual objects.
Do not use aerosol dusters or cleaners.
Do not spray anything into or lubricate the appliance.
Setup:
Operate the machine on a flat and stable surface.
Ensure there is enough clear space at the rear of the machine for the laminated
pouch to exit the machine.
The LMA4-V operates with laminating pouches 100 (2 x 50) microns – 160 (2 x 80)
microns thick, (Credit card size to A4 size)
Operating the Laminator:
The LMA4-V is operated by a rocker switch, located at the right hand side of the
appliance. There are 2 positions
ON (l) and OFF (O).
Plug the machines cable into a convenient 13 Amp domestic supply outlet.
To Laminate select the ON (I) setting, laminating can begin when the Green
“Ready” light comes on, which indicates the Laminator is hot enough to laminate,
(Allow approx 3-5 minutes for the Laminator to warm up).
Prepare the laminating pouch for inserting into the machine
. See How to load a
laminating pouch below Do not use pouches thicker
than 160microns (2 x
80microns per side)
When the machine has reached operating temperature, you may insert the pouch,
(sealed edge first), squarely into the machine until it engages with the rollers.
Never insert a pouch open edge first into the machine.
The pouch will move through the machine and exit at the rear.
During the process the
READY
light may go out as heat is absorbed by the
laminating pouch, this is normal.
There may be a slight smell from the laminating Pouch, this again is normal.
Do not cut down Laminating Pouches to Laminate smaller sizes of Paper,
smaller sizes of Pouches are available, see back of IM for details, please use these.
Turn the laminator to
OFF (O)
after use.
Always remove the plug from the power supply, when the Laminator is not in use
How to load a Laminating Pouch:
The laminating pouch is sealed along one side. Open the pouch and place the
paper to be laminated centrally inside the pouch as close to the sealed edge as
possible.
Ensure there is an equal border all round the paper (e.g.: A4 paper should have a
3mm border). The sealed edge (not the open edges) is placed into the entry slot to
start the lamination process.
Always watch the pouch during the laminating process to ensure it comes out the
other side of the Laminator.
It may wrap around the rollers if not placed squarely and centrally in the entry slot,
see below images.
In the unlikely event the pouch becomes jammed in the Laminator, please switch
off, do not open the appliance. Only a qualified service engineer should repair the
appliance.
Pouch Thickness:
Laminating Pouches come in various thicknesses which are measured in microns. We
recommend that for this Laminator you use pouches that are between 100-160microns,
(0.1 -0.18mm thick), for the best laminating results. The laminator can laminate thicker
pouches however the laminating may not be as good as using thinner pouches.
IMPORTANT!
Do not touch the top of the machine during use, as it will get very hot and take
approximately 3-4 hours to cool down. Do not place items on top of the machine at any
time.
