Selecting the temperature
Your GBC laminator has a slider temperature control which enables you
to attain the optimum lamination results with a wide range of material
thickness (plastic sheets and paper). As a basic rule: the thicker the
document and the plastic pouch, the higher the temperature must
be ~ the thinner the document and the plastic pouch, the lower the
temperature must be. As a guideline, the scale on the right shows
temperature ranges for pouch thickness of 80, 125 and 250 mic and
documents with a paper weight of 80 gsm. The best way to find out the
suitable temperature for what you wish to laminate is to test various
settings. Start with a low temperature and raise the level gradually until
you are satisfied with the lamination result (fig. 2).
Preparing your document
Select a suitable laminating pouch for your document. Insert the
document into the laminating pouch from the open side. Then close
the laminating pouch with the document centred for an even border. A
border of approx. 3mm (114”) is recommended to be left around your
document (fig. 1).
Preparing the machine
Insert the mains plug into the socket and turn on the machine (red
indicator lights up). The working temperature is reached after about 1
minute and the green indicator lights up. Your machine is now ready to
operate.

• Laminate only paper or similar materials with a maximum thickness
of 0.4 mm.
• Ensure there is sufcient space behind the laminator so the document
can easily be removed.
• Only use original GBC accessories.
• The unit is maintenance-free if handled correctly.
Removing the document

laminator. Remove the laminated document and check the results
(fig. 4).
