Laminating Pouches
1. Carefully read this operation manual before 
 operating the unit.
2. Never attempt to open and service the unit. There 
 are no user serviceable parts inside the laminator.
3. Repairs must be done by authorized personnel. 
 Unauthorized servicing of the unit will render the 
 warranty invalid.
4. Use only the pouches with the right thickness and 
 size. Pouches that are too thin will easily be caught 
 and result in document jams.
5. Never laminate heat sensitive material such as 
 thermal fax paper.
6. Machine surface is hot during operation. Children 
 operating the machine must be supervised by 
 adults.
7. Never use cold seal laminating pouches in a hot 
 seal laminator. The machine, pouch and document.
 will be damaged.
8. Never laminate over staples or paper clips.
1. Attention! You may notice an odor coming from the 
 laminator for the first couple of times of use. Do not 
 be alarmed. This is normal and the odor will 
 disapate during normal use.
2. Make sure the main switch is in the OFF position 
 before plugging in the unit. Use only wall sockets with 
 the right voltage supply and plug types.
3. Toggle the main power switch at the back of the 
 machine to the desired pouch thickness 
 (US system 3 mil and 5 mil, Metric system 80 mic 
 and 125 mic). The RED indicator will light up.
4. When the GREEN indicator is lit, the unit is ready for 
 lamination.
5. Insert the document into the correct pouch size. 
 Leave approximately 3 to 5mm at each side of the 
 pouch. It is highly recommended NOT to put several 
 smaller documents into a large pouch. Doing so may 
 cause poor laminating effects and pouch jams. 
6. Insert the pouch evenly, with the closed end first, 
 into the front side paper inlet. 
7. The laminated documents exiting the machine may 
 still be hot so precautions are required while 
 handling.
8. It is recommended using 5 mil pouches when 
 laminating thin of soft materials. When laminating 
 thicker or harder materials it is recommended using 
 3 mil pouches to help void jams when laminating.
9. Do not trim pouches before laminating. Always 
 leave a minimum pouch border of approximately 1/4” 
 around your document. Using trimmed pouches prior 
 to lamination can lead glue exposer to the rollers 
 which can result in pouch jams.
10.When changing the laminating thickness selection, 
 leave the machine in the OFF position for 30 
 seconds. This is to prevent overloading the circuit.
1. The machine is equipped with a JAM RELEASE 
 LEVER to clear document jams, which is located 
 next to the ON/OFF switch.
2. Symptoms of Paper Jams:
 a. Documents fail to exit 
 b. Abnormal noises are heard during operation
 c. Document become wrinkled on its way 
 through the machine
3. Once document jams occur, turn OFF the machine 
 and press the JAM RELEASE LEVER to release
 the jam. Remember to place the JAM RELEASE 
 LEVER back in the UP position after jam is removed.
