Switch the power on (located at the rear of the machine). Cold lamina-
tion is the default function setting when power is switched on.
Select the “HOT” function. The temperature will automatically select
90°c. The rollers will start turning when the temperature is above 60°c.
When “READY” lamp is on, the machine is ready to start laminating.
Select the motor speed best suited to the pouch thickness (see graph on
machine) EG: 80 micron pouch = motor speed 5 / 90°c. The machine
will automatically select the optimum laminating temperature. Lami-
nating temperatures can also be adjusted manually as required.
Ensure the machine is on a stable surface.
Check there is enough clear space (min 50cm) behind the machine to
allow items to pass through freely.
Select the correct power lead for the appropriate power supply. Fit the
lead to the machine (the socket is at the rear of the machine).

materials to polish the machine. Cleaning sheets can be used with the machine. When the machine is warm – run the sheets through the machine to clean any
residue off the rollers. For optimum performance, it is recommended that cleaning sheets are used with the machine regularly.
STORAGE & CLEANING
Switch the power on (located at the rear of the machine).
Select the “COLD” function. Wait for roller temperature to fall below
30°c.
When “COLD” & “READY” lamp is on, select speed 2 or 3 and laminate
cold pouches.
