1Installation information
UNPACKING, SET-UP AND INSTALLATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED
PERSONNEL.
The IMAGE®80S is delivered on a pallet and is packaged in plastic to prevent moisture
penetration. A cardboard box is placed over the plastic.
For unpacking, location and installation, follow the instructions in the manual.
1.1 Unpacking the Laminator
Unpack the laminator in the order of the following steps, which correspond to the
numbers in Figure 1. This figure shows how the laminator is mounted on the pallet.
1Remove the steel bands that are fixed over the box and lift the box off the
machine. Remove the protective plastic covering and the loose components
(control panel, combi-pack and accessory box).
The plastic can be used later as a dust cover.
The machine is attached to the pallet with four transport bolts. Open the doors
of the cabinets and remove the four bolts with the aid of the 19 mm wrench
supplied with the laminator. The bolts are located inside the cabinet.
Figure 1
2Turn down the adjustable feet to raise the laminator off the wooden support
blocks using a 10 mm hex key on the bolt head inside the cabinet and a no. 12
open-ended wrench on the red disc.

supported on its moveable castor wheels.
Step 5 must be performed by two or more persons.
Never do this alone.
5Roll the laminator off the pallet using the board ramp and push the laminator to
the location where it is to be used.
