Safety instructions · This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the appliance is to be used. · Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.. · Unplug the power cable after every use and before cleaning, so as to prevent the appliance from being switched on inadvertently. · Check the appliance and all components for visible damages. The safety concept can only work if the appliance is in a fault-free condition. · Never perform hot lamination on flammable, heat-sensitive and/or meltable materials and do not laminate drawings on temperature-sensitive paper or material that will undergo changes in colour or quality when subjected to heat. 3.

Although the laminator satisfies all predominant safety norms and standards, errors can never be completely discounted - as with all electrical appliances. Errors with the laminator can result in damage to the document being laminated. · Do not laminate any materials with a thickness greater than 1.0 mm. Should you do so, the laminating pouch could become angled incorrectly inside the device. This would damage the laminating pouch, the document being laminated as well as the laminator. · Do not use an extension cable. Place the appliance where the power wall socket is easily accessible, so that in the event of an emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn. · Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance. Risk of electrical shock! · Connect the appliance to a power socket with a mains voltage of 220 -240 V ~ /50 Hz. · Do not operate the appliance if the power cable or power plug is damaged. · Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department. · Never immerse the appliance in water. Just wipe it with a damp cloth. · Do not expose the appliance to precipitation and never use it in a humid or wet environment. · Ensure that the power cable does not become wet during operation. · Unplug the appliance immediately after use. The appliance is free of electricity only when you remove the power plug from the power socket. · Do not open the housing or attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Should you do so, safety is no longer assured and the warranty is voided. Fire hazard! · Do not use the appliance near hot surfaces. · Do not retain the appliance in places exposed to direct sunlight, this could lead to overheating and cause irreparable damage. · Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use. · NEVER cover the ventilation slits on the top of the appliance while it is switched on. Injury hazard! · Keep children away from the connecting cable and the appliance. Children frequently underestimate the danger from electrical appliances. · Ensure the appliance has a secure positioning. · Do not operate the appliance if it has fallen or is damaged. Arrange for the appliance to be checked and, if needed, repaired by experts. · Some parts of the appliance become very hot during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch these parts. 6. Suitable laminating pouches · For hot lamination you can use pouches with a width of up to 230 mm and a thickness of maximum 125 Micron. · Please note that each laminating pouch may only be used once. For hot lamination, use only laminating pouches that are expressly designated for hot lamination. For cold lamination, use only laminating pouches that are expressly designated for cold lamination. Note that the laminating pouches included with the laminator are intended exclusively for hot lamination. -3- 7.

For a more uniform laminating result we recommend, especially for thinner foils (below 125 Micron) and with adjustment to a different foil thickness, to first wait an additional ca. 2-3 minutes before beginning with lamination. ³ Tip: For high-gloss photos, select the switch setting "125". Lay the document to be laminated into a laminating pouch of the appropriate size. Make certain that all corners of the document have at least two millimetres of space to the edge of the laminating pouch, as shown in Fig. 1. Make certain that you use only one pouch for laminating.

As soon as the green LED indicator lamp "Ready" y glows, you can start with cold lamination. Lay the document to be laminated into a laminating pouch of the appropriate size. Make certain that all corners of the document have at least two millimetres of space to the edge of the laminating pouch, as shown in Fig. 1. Make certain that you use only one pouch for laminating. First open it up, as shown in Fig. 2. For information about the lamination process, please read section 10. 9. Preparing for cold lamination If you have previously performed hot lamination: After hot laminating, allow the laminator to cool down completely before beginning with cold lamination. Remember, the rolls inside the laminator will still be hot. These can damage the laminating pouch and the document to be laminated! ³ Insert the pouch guide q into the holes provided on the rear of the laminator. ³ Fold apart the pouch guide q. ³ Insert the laminator power plug into a power socket. ³ Ensure the appliance has a stable positioning. Note: With cold lamination, ALWAYS place the Anti-Blocking switch i to 125 mic. 10. Lamination process ³ Lay the laminating pouch on the pouch guide q. Place the right or left edge of the laminating pouch on the pouch format restraint w (closed side to the front). Slide the pouch format restraint w together until the selected format size is reached. This prevents the laminating pouch from being pulled in at an angle. Should the laminating pouch be pulled in at an angle, use the "Anti-Blocking Funktion" as described in chapter 11. ³ Now slide the laminating pouch slowly into the ³ When you have slid the laminating pouch several centimetres into the slot, it will be pulled in automatically.

If you do not, the laminating pouch will not be completely ejected from the laminator after lamination. This could damage the laminated pouch. 12. Cleaning and care Life-threatening risk of electrical shock: · NEVER open the housing. There are no user serviceable components inside. · NEVER immerse the appliance components into water or other liquids! Cleaning the housing: Clean the surface of the housing with a slightly noistened dish cloth. ³ The laminated pouch is ejected from the pouch ejector slot u of the laminator. Only after hot lamination: When the laminated pouch is ejected from the pouch ejector slot u of the laminator it is still hot and its shape may change slightly. For this reason, allow the laminated pouch to cool down for at least one minute before touching it. To improve the lamination result, you can weigh down the still hot laminated pouch with a book, a file folder or any other heavy, flat object. This helps achieves a flat, flawless surface. ³ First remove the power plug. ³ Allow the appliance to cool down completely. ³ Ensure that no moisture can permeate into the appliance. Cleaning the interior of the appliance: With every lamination, contaminants are deposited on the rollers inside the laminator. Over time, this reduces the performance of the laminator. You should therefore clean the rollers inside the laminator after use. 11. Anti-Blocking Function (ABS) At the start of the lamination process, the pouch may be pulled in at an angle or jam itself inside the appliance. ³ Prepare the appliance as described in chapter 8 "Preparing for hot lamination", up to the point where the green LED indicator lamp "Ready" y glows. ³ Slide the Anti-Blocking switch (ABS) i to the position ABS. · The laminate pouch is not pulled any further in. ³ Remove the laminate pouch. ³ Slide the Anti-Blocking switch (ABS) i back to the desired foil thickness. ³ Re-start the lamination process. ³ Then run a sheet of DIN A4 paper folded in the middle (maximum thickness 1.0 mm) ... · without a laminating pouch and · with the fold first ... slowly into the slot for manual pouch input o. -6- ³ Release the sheet as soon as you notice it being pulled in automatically. · The contaminants on the rollers inside the laminator are now transferred to this sheet of paper. The paper is ejected from the pouch ejector slot u of the laminator. ³ Repeat this cleaning process several times. Use a fresh clean sheet of paper each time. When you no longer see any contaminants on the paper, the rollers inside the laminator are clean. 15. Warranty & Service The warranty for this appliance is for 3 years from the date of purchase.
