Operation
A key feature and added benefit of the GXL 125
allows you the versatility of laminating both Foam
Boards and Hot Pouches.
To Start
• Place the laminator on a sturdy, flat work surface.
Allow ample clearance behind the laminator for
laminated items to exit completely.
• Plug the laminator into a power source that
matches the laminator’s rate of voltage.
NOTE: Fluctuating voltage may cause inconsistent
lamination or mechanical problems with the laminator.
If you suspect voltage problems, use a voltage
stabilizer.
For Use With Foam Boards
1. Before turning power switch on, verify that the
Foam Board\Pouch Selector is positioned correctly
in the “Foam Board” location.
2. Turn power on by positioning On/Off switch in the
“Heat Only” location. This will allow the machine
to pre-heat without engaging the laminating
rollers.
NOTE: During first usage, a small white puff of smoke
may appear which is common to a new laminator.
3. Adjust temperature control to the foam board
setting.
4. Wait 2-3 minutes for green ready light to
illuminate. This indicates laminator is ready for
use.
5. Place item to be laminated onto a Fellowes’ foam
board by raising laminate cover sheet and
inserting document. Center the item for an even
border; a border of approximately 1/8" to 1/4"
is recommended.
6. Initiate laminating rollers by moving selector to
“Heat and Rollers” setting.
7. Insert the foam board, sealed edge first, slowly
into the front loading area of the laminator until it
engages with the machine.
NOTE: Heat source located on top of machine. For best
results, feed foam board with item to be laminated
facing top.
8. The finished laminated item will automatically exit
at the rear of the machine. After the foam board
has stopped moving, place it on a flat surface and
allow to cool for one minute.
9. Mount easel or hang tab to back of foam board, if
desired.
10. Turn the laminator off and unplug after
completion of usage.
For Use With Hot Pouches
1. Before turning power switch on, verify that the
Foam Board\Pouch Selector is positioned correctly
in the “Pouch” location.
2. Turn power on by positioning On/Off switch in the
“Heat Only” location. This will allow the machine
to pre-heat without engaging the laminating
rollers.
NOTE: During first usage, a small white puff of smoke
may appear which is common to a new laminator.
3. Adjust the temperature control to correspond with
pouch thickness.
4. Wait 2-3 minutes for green ready light to
illuminate. This indicates laminator is ready for
use.
5. Place item to be laminated into a Fellowes’
laminating pouch. Center the item for an even
border; a border of approximately 1/8" to 1/4" is
recommended.
6. Place pouch into carrier. (Optional, but
recommended)
7. Insert the carrier, sealed edge first, slowly into the
front loading area of the laminator until it
engages with the machine.
8. The finished laminated item will automatically exit
at the rear of the machine. After the carrier has
stopped moving, place it on a flat surface and
allow to cool for one minute.
9. Remove laminated item from carrier.
10. Turn the laminator off and unplug after
completion of usage.
