OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 1 for feature references
1. Place the laminator on a flat, secure,
stable surface.
2. Open the input tray and fully extend
the tray by pulling up and outward
until the tray clicks into the stops.
3. Plug the power cord into a standard
120 V outlet.
4. Press the Power button. The power
button will glow green and the heat
setting button will glow white.

5. Press the desired Heat Setting button.
The 3 mil setting should be used for
laminating standard printer paper or
lighter weight items. The 5 mil or 6 mil
setting should be used for photo paper,
business cards or other thick items.
6. Wait for the green Ready light to come
on, which indicates the laminator is
warm enough for use.
7. Insert the item to be laminated into a
Scotch ™ Thermal Laminating Pouch
so that your item is close to the sealed
edge of the pouch (Figures 2 & 3). Do not
cut the pouch if your item is much
smaller than the size of the pouch or the
pouch may jam inside the laminator. You
can trim the pouch after laminating.
8. Insert the sealed end of the pouch
(Figure 3) straight into the laminator inlet
(Figure 4). Hold the pouch until the
machine pulls it forward.
9. The laminated item will automatically
exit the outlet of the laminator (Figure 5).
Do not pull the pouch through the
laminator. If the pouch does not feed
correctly or jams, push pouch reverse
button located on the control panel to
reverse the pouch back out of the
laminator.
10. Remove the pouch after it has stopped
moving and allow the sheet to cool on a
flat surface. It may be necessary to
laminate thicker items twice to
completely seal the pouch.
11. When finished laminating, press the
Power button to turn off the laminator.
The laminator will turn itself off after a
period of time. When cool, store
laminator by returning input tray to its
initial stored position. The power cord
may be stored in the well on the bottom
by wrapping around the posts.

GENERAL USE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use 3 to 6 mil thick pouches. The
laminator is designed to work with
pouches that are a minimum of 3 mils
(1 mil = 0.001 inches) and a maximum
of 6 mils thick. Using pouches that are
thinner or thicker may cause jamming or
may affect lamination quality
(ex. bubbling).
2. If white blotches appear or the laminated
pouch appears hazy, send the item, sealed
end first, through the laminator again.
3. Items must be laminated on both sides.
One side lamination will cause the film to
be rolled up inside the machine, making
the laminating machine unusable.
4. DO NOT insert the open end of the pouch
into the machine to prevent it from being
rolled up into the machine.
5. DO NOT cut the pouch before laminating
to prevent it from being rolled up into the
machine.
CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
1. Wait for the laminator to cool down
and unplug it before cleaning. Wipe
the exterior with a cloth to remove
dust.
2. The roller heater is fragile. DO NOT
DROP machine or otherwise subject
it to impact.
3. Store laminator in a cool dry location.
