3. Installation Safeguards
•Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the delivering carrier.
•Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or cold. Avoid locating the laminator in
the direct path of forced, heated or cooled air.
•The receptacle must be located near the equipment and easily accessible.
•Connect the power cord provided with the laminator to a suitably grounded outlet
only. This machine must have reliable earth ground wire to ensure the safety of the
machine during operations.

•Contact an electrician should the power cord provided with the laminator not match the
receptacles at your location.
•Ensure that the voltages of the power supply you are using match the rated working
voltages before operations. Do not use incorrect power supply.
•Do not use damaged wires or sockets. If abnormal conditions occur, switch off the
power supply first.
•Only a licensed electrician should install wiring and outlet for the laminator.
•Do not defeat, disable, or remove electrical and mechanical safety equipment such as
interlocks, shields and guards.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

4. General Safeguards
•Keep hands, long hair, loose clothing, and articles such as neckties away from rollers to
avoid entanglement and entrapment. The rollers have pinch points that can trap body parts
or clothing and cause serious injury.
•Do not use the machine for purposes other than lamination, otherwise damages to the
machine or accidents may occur.
•Keep out of reach of children.
•Keep flammable and wet objects away from the machine.
•Do not use flammable sprays or materials when cleaning the machine.
•Do not leave the machine unattended during operations.
•Do not put burrs, sharp blades or rigid materials in between the two rubber rollers.
•Do not attempt to laminate items that exceed total recommended material thickness of the
unit.
•Do not place foreign object inside the machine.
•Do not cut adhesive films directly on the surface of the rollers to avoid damaging the rubber
coating.
•Shut down the machine after laminating to avoid misusing this machine by others.
•Turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord before moving the machine.
•Note the locations of foot wheels while moving or operating this machine to avoid injuries
to your feet.
•Disconnect from the power supply before repair or maintenance.
•Disconnect from the power supply when the machine is not in use for a long time.
•When the machine lies idle for a long period of time, raise the top rubber roller to avoid the
damage to the rubber surface.
•Perform only the routine maintenance procedures referred to in these instructions.

5. Operating Conditions
•Environment requirements:
Ambient temperature: 50⁰F - 104⁰ F
Humidity：30%—80%；ideal humidity：55%
•Due to the static on film rolls, you should try to keep the environment clean.
•Provide enough space around machine to ensure the safe and effective operation. The
minimum area covered is 8 ft. x 10 ft.
•Do not directly cut the films on the surfaces of the rubber rollers to avoid damages to the
rollers.
•Do not put burrs, sharp knives or extra thick and hard materials in between the rollers. Do
not leave objects like tools, rulers, knives, etc. on the working panels or the side cabinets to
avoid there being rolled into the machine accidentally and damaging the rollers.
•For repairs and replacements, please contact your local distributor. Unauthorized repairs
and dismantling will affect future maintenances of the machines.
Warning: Do not keep the machine in direct sunshine or near it.
Do not keep the machine in dusty areas or places with strong vibrations.
6. Operating Precautions
•The following objects should not be subject to lamination:
oVolatile substances or any thermal-sensitive substances (e.g. Vinyl chloride).
oValuable, unique and unrecoverable objects.
oObjects subject to change of color and nature attributable to heat (e.g. thermal sensitive
paper, crayons etc.).
•Improper operation may lead to lamination failure, therefore, when using this laminator, one
must choose the correct relations between the machine speed, laminating film thickness, and the
material to be laminated. The guiding principles of lamination are:
oThe thicker the laminating film and material to be laminated, the slower the machine
speed.
oConversely, the thinner the laminating film and material to be laminated, the higher the
speed.
•For best results, try similar material to find the suitable temperature and speed relationship
before performing lamination on final product.
•Never leave the operating machine unattended.
Caution: Safety Shield and Feed Tray must be in their proper position for operation.
