Warranty & Incorrect Use
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your laminator should reach you in perfect condition, however please retain all original packaging once you have
unpacked your laminator in case you need to return it. If your laminator arrives damaged or faulty in anyway, this
must be reported to your supplier immediately. If you send your laminator back for repair under warranty at any time,
then the warranty may be void if the laminator is not packaged correctly and as a result is damaged in transit.
Unauthorised repair or attempts to service the unit will invalidate the warranty.
Your Peak Pouch Laminator includes a 2 years warranty on defective parts under normal operating conditions. THIS
DOES NOT COVER any jams, misfeeds or wrap arounds caused by operator error and you will be liable for the repair
costs (including delivery charges). The warranty does not cover the heated rollers. The warranty is for a period of two
years from the date of purchase by the original consumer.
Please note that attempting to laminate any type of unsuitable documents (for example multiple cutouts, textiles,
food matter, documents exceeding the maximum thickness or documents too large or small for the pouch) may result
in jamming. Damage caused by incorrect use or failing to follow the instructions are not covered within the warranty.
FAQ’S
My document has come out cloudy - what does this mean?
This means that the temperature setting is not quite hot enough. Try increasing the temperature by 5o and try again as applying
more heat should x the problem.
My document has come out wavy - what does this mean?
If the document comes out with a wavy nish the temperature is set too high. Decrease the temperature by 5o and try again. If you
have an important document to laminate such as a photograph, it is always good to try a test document rst to ensure you have the
laminator at the perfect temperature.

Technical Specications

How to use your laminator
!This laminator is designed to be used with a card carrier (or Lifejacket®) and must not be used without one.
 Carefully remove the laminator from all of its packaging and place it on a flat, level surface. Make sure you
keep the original packaging somewhere safe (in case this is needed in the future).
 Unpack the power cable and insert it into the power outlet at the back of laminator. Plug it in to a power
socket. Press the Red POWER switch to turn the laminator on. The light will illuminate.
 Check that the FWD/REV (Forward and Reverse) switch is set to FWD (See diagram 1).
 Refer to the temperature chart and set the laminator to the required temperature (Use this chart as a guide only).
 Set the HEATER switch to ON.
 The laminator will now begin to heatUIFHSFFO3&"%:MJHIUXJMMCMJOL *GUIFMBNJOBUPSEPFTOhUIFBUJNNFEJBUFMZUVSO

greenREADY light will illuminate.
 Place the document you are laminating inside the pouch, making sure that it is centrally positioned and that a small
border (approx 5mm) is left around the edge. If you are laminating cut-up pieces ensure you still leave a 5mm border.
 Once the document (or small pieces) are positioned in the pouch (and are not overlapping or touching each other)
then place the document and pouch inside the card carrier or Lifejacket®. ALWAYS USE A CARD CARRIER OR
LIFEJACKET® WITH THIS LAMINATOR. Insert the prepared document into the laminator. Make sure you insert the
SEALED EDGE FIRST and do not insert at an angle. The item will automatically feed through and appear the other end.
!Pay attention as you laminate and watch for your document appearing out of the exit at the back of the laminator. If
you do not see the document appearing after several seconds, press the REVERSE switch to avoid a potential jam and
the document wrapping around the rollers (Although this very rarely happens when using a card carrier/Lifejacket®).
!When you see your document appear at the exit, wait until it becomes free and do not tug or pull it.
Temperature control
Temperature control is designed for laminating pouches and documents of varying thickness. Thicker objects
need more heat. The table below gives an indication of the correct temperature setting required. Please note
this is a guide only. Other factors can aect the laminator such as room temperature and the thickness of
document being laminated.

What is a ‘Lifejacket®’?
The Lifejacket® is a highly durable patented product made from Teon® that should be used when laminating
cut-up, odd shaped pieces (such as shapes, letters, signs as shown above) to prevent damage to your laminator
and potential jamming. Why use a Lifejacket®?
. Protect your laminator from jamming
. Extend the life of your laminator by using the Lifejacket® - stops adhesive seeping onto rollers
. Eliminate repair bills as this product keeps your laminator working at an optimum level
. Available in A4, A3 and A2 sizes to protect documents of all sizes
Ask your supplier for more details.
)To turn the laminator OFF after use, set the HEATER switch to OFF and allow the laminator to still run for 5 minutes
(you will hear the rollers turning). This allows the laminator to cool down and it is then safe to turn the OFF.
