Safety Precautions
Do not use the machine if the power cord is damaged in anyway. Do not use a power supply
that is not in accordance with the rated voltage.
Do not try to disassemble, modify or repair the machine yourself. If you encounter a problem you
must call a qualied engineer.
Keep long hair, loose clothing and items such as ties and jewellery away from the rollers of the
machine at all times to avoid danger of entanglement. If entanglement occurs, press the REVERSE
button or cut o the power immediately.
Keep water and liquids away from the machine at all times. Do not operate the machine with wet
hands. Do not cut o the power to the machine whilst in operation (except if entanglement occurs).
Use the safety guard at all times.
The Linea works at a high temperature, therefore ensure you do not touch the rollers or any
part of the machine which states ‘HOT’ or ‘CAUTION’ whilst it is in operation. Do not cover the
machine if it is still cooling down. Do not laminate any material other than what is stated in this
manual and do not use any lamination lm other than what is recommended for this system.
Operate the machine in a well ventilated, clean, dry place with a large enough working space at the front and rear
of the machine.
Ensure the power cable is not dragging on the oor or causing a hazard to operators.
For producing the top quality results that this machine is designed to do, you must use high quality lamination
lm. Pro life lm is the suggested brand by the manufacturer.

Control panel and functions of the digital display
Temperature control
The temperature setting you require for laminating can vary and can be eected by many dierent factors, these
include thickness of media, thickness and construction of laminating lm, speed of the machine and temperature
and humidity of the room you are working in. For this reason, we do not provide a precise chart detailing the exact
temperature required for operation. Please refer to the guide at the bottom of this page if you need help. Always
use a test print to send through the machine before starting to laminate your work.
The temperature control knob will increase or decrease the set temperature as it is turned and the set temperature
will show on the LCD display. The current temperature of the rollers will also be displayed on the LCD display. The
temperature ranges from 0oC-140oC. If the temperature reaches 140oC, the over heating protection function will
automatically activate to prevent the machine getting any hotter.
Approximate temperature guide
This chart is a rough guide only and should NOT be taken as an exact indication of the settings for your laminating
job. As previously stated, many dierent factors can eect the temperature and speed required. The supplier does
not accept responsibility for incorrect settings being applied.
Encapsulating
Example lm Approx temperature Approx speed
75 Micron 100°-110° 0.5 m per min
125 Micron 110°-120° 1.0 m per min (decrease speed for thicker documents
and increase the temperature slightly)
Error messages
Should the LCD display panel show the words
OPN fault or CLS fault, there maybe a problem
with your machine. This very rarely occurs but
if it does contact your supplier immediately and
turn o the power.
Familiarise yourself with the control panel
before commencing operation of the machine
Set Temperature
Current Temperature

Speed control
The speed control function allows adjustment of the speed of the machine. This can be manually
adjusted by turning the knob anti clockwise to increase the speed and clockwise to decrease the
speed. The speed can range from 0M per min to 1.4M per min
Hot and cold settings
To change the function of the machine to either hot or cold press the HOT/COLD switch. When it is
switched to hot the set temperature will show on the LCD display. When it is switched to cold, COLD
will show on the LCD display.
Forward and reverse switch
The FWD/REV switch changes the working direction of the motor. When it is switched to forward
the motor will run forward and will show on the LCD display. This function is used for
laminating and encapsulating.
When it is switched to reverse the motor will run backwards and REVERSE will show on the
LCD display. This function is used to remove items fed in incorrectly or by mistake - please note
removed items will not be reuasable
Operating instructions
Ensure the laminator is placed on a at, sturdy work surface or on the assembled stand (optional extra). Check the
power voltage for the machine to ensure this meets your own supply. Plug the power cord into the back of the
machine and into your power supply. Contact your supplier if you do not have a power cord with the machine.
Turn on the power switch, the control panel display will
light, this indicates the power is connected.
Motor overload circuit breaker
If the machine should jam in a way that the motor could be eected, the circuit breaker will cut o the power
to avoid damage. Once the overload has been cleared, press the circuit breaker button and the motor will start
again. The circuit breaker button is located at the rear of the machine next to the power switch. The button is red
in colour.
Run and stop switch
The RUN/STOP switch enables you to start and stop the motor. When it is switched to RUN the
machine will

between the rollers (in the nip)
Re-t the feed tray
NOTE: Ensure stabilizer bar is
relocated in the back position when
loaded

Cleaning and maintenance of your machine
The most expensive part of a laminator is usually the rollers, if these become
damaged they are costly to repair. Always ensure you look after the rollers and
clean them regularly to avoid a build up of glue (see advice below). Never hold
a sharp object such as a knife close to the rollers in case of catching the rubber
as this could cause permanent damage that will effect the result of your work.
When your laminator is cooling down, always seperate the rollers using the roller
pressure knob, this will ensure that your rollers do not touch when still hot as
this could leave a ‘at spot’.
Cleaning the rollers
It is easier to remove adhesive from the rollers when they are warm, do not
attempt this if the machine is hot (above 40oC). For easy access, remove the
safety shield and feed tray. Always use a clean cloth and a mild anti-static foam
cleaner such as Amberclens by Ambersil or similar, do not use a heavy duty
solvent or anything abrasive.
If the lm becomes jammed in the machine in any way and there is a large build
up of adhesive, do not try and remove this yourself, contact your supplier for
advice.
Troubleshooting
My laminator has no power
Make sure that the electrical outlet being used is not damaged and that it is supplying power. Ensure the power cord
is rmly tted in the back of the machine and not straining in any way. If all of this seems correct, there are three
fuses to check, one is located next to the power switch, the other two are located underneath the laminator.
Contact your supplier if none of these solutions resolve the problem.
My lamination is coming out cloudy
This means that the temperature is not hot enough, try and increase by 5oC and wait until the laminator has reached
the new temperature before putting through another print.
My lamination has come out wrinkled/creased
This means that the temperature is too hot. You should also put a test document through rst to avoid ruining your
work. Reduce the temperature by 5oC and wait until the laminator has cooled before trying again.
The lm is wrapping around the rollers when I try to laminate
The lm may be threaded incorrectly, refer to the threading diagram on page 6 or 8 (depending on if you are doing
single sided or encapsulating. The adhesive side of the lm may be facing the roller. Stop the operation, wait until
the laminator has cooled down and thread the lm again in the correct manner.
