Preparing for cold lamination
If you have previously performed hot
lamination:
After hot laminating, allow the laminator
to cool down completely before beginning
with cold lamination. Remember, the rollers
inside the laminator will still be hot. These
can damage the laminating pouch and the
document to be laminated!
³
Insert the foil guide rails
q
in the designated
holes on the rear of the laminator.
³
Pull out the document supports
s
so that the
documents can be pulled in straight into the
slot for manual foil feed
t
.
³
Insert the plug of the laminator into a mains
power socket.
³
Provide a firm location for the appliance.
³
Set the selector switch for hot and cold lamina-
tion
i
to "COLD".
Take note:
For cold lamination, ALWAYS place
the foil thickness switch
o
at 125 microns. The
red ON/OFF indicator lamp
u
and the
green indicator lamp "Ready"
y
now
glow.
³
Place the document to be laminated into a
laminating pouch of the matching size.
Make certain that all corners of the docu-
ment have at least two millimetres of space
to the edge of the laminating pouch, as
shown in Fig. 1.
Make certain that you use only one pouch
for laminating. First open it up, as shown
in Fig. 2.
For further information about the lamina-
tion process, please read the section
"Lamination process".
Lamination process
³
Lay the laminating pouch onto the foil guide
rails
q
. Lay the right or left edge of the lamina-
ting pouch against the foil format restraint
r
(closed side leading). Slide the foil format res-
traint
r
together until the selected format size
is reached. This prevents the laminating pouch
from being pulled in at an angle.
Should the laminating pouch be pulled in
at an angle, use the anti-blocking function
as described in the chapter "Anti-Blocking
Switch (ABS)".
³
Now slide the laminating pouch slowly into the
slot for manual foil feed
t
.
³
When you have slid the laminating pouch seve-
ral centimetres into slot for manual foil feed
t
,
it will start to be pulled in automatically.
Release the laminating pouch as soon as you
notice it being pulled in automatically.
Ensure there is at least 45 cm of open space
in front of the laminator. If you do not, the
laminating pouch will not be completely
ejected from the laminator after lamination.
This could damage the laminated pouch.
