Operating Instructions
1. Plug the mains power supply cable into the 220-240V / 50/60Hz socket and turn on the on/off switch
located at the back of the machine. The digital temperature display will show the current tempera-
ture of the rollers.
2. The rollers will start to pre-heat to the pre-set temperature setting of 100 °C. Use the arrow buttons
on the instrument panel to adjust the temperature according to the thickness of the laminating
pouch to be used.
3. Let the PL-450 pre-heat until the “READY” indicator light comes on (approximately 3 to 4 minutes).
4. Insert your document into the laminating pouch and feed the pouch into the laminator, sealing the
end first. The pouch will pass between the heated rollers, which will simultaneously melt the adhe-
sive and apply pressure, to create a seal.
5. When the pouch comes out the back of the machine, place it on a flat surface to cool. This will help
to prevent wrinkles or bubbles forming in the pouch.
6. Feed any additional pouches through the machine. If the “READY” light switches off, let the machine
heat up again until the light comes back on before inserting another pouch, to ensure proper lami-
nation.
7. Before switching off the machine, adjust the temperature to below 100 °C and leave it to cool for at
least 2 minutes. This will help prevent damage to the rollers.

Useful Advice
• In order to avoid jams, and prevent the pouch wrapping around the rollers, always insert the lamina-
ting pouches into the machine with the sealed edge first.
• Use the laminator in a dry place free from explosive or flammable materials.
• Do not put any objects on top of the machine while it is in use.
• If the pouch appears cloudy after lamination, then the temperature of the laminator is too low.
Slightly increase the temperature and feed the pouch through the machine again, repeating until
the pouch comes out clear.
• If the pouch appears warped or wavy after laminating, then the temperature if the laminator has
been set too high. Reduce the temperature and leave the machine to cool. Repeat until the pouch is
flat and clear, with no cloudiness.
• If the machine becomes jammed, press the “Reverse” button to reverse the direction of the rollers.
Once the machine is cold, please remove the top cover and remove the jam.
