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.: A3 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.
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.
