Cold Lamination
With the contents and the pouch you have selected at hand:
1 . Turn temperature selector ቦ t o . The machine will indicate its readiness by turning on
the green standby light ቧ and giving an audible sig-
nal. If the machine is at room temperature, this will be almost immediate.
2 . Place contents in pouch in line with the guidelines (p. 5). Lay the pouch on a flat surface
and open it so that the adhesive side, which is covered by a glossy protective sheet, is verti-
cal. Place the contents face up onto the transparent, non-adhesive side, but do not close
the pouch.
3 . Insert sealed edge of the open pouch into the entry, as
shown, bending the protective sheet backwards over the
machine and grasping its free edge. As the machine draws
in the pouch, keep holding on to the protector, which will be
peeled away from the adhesive side as the pouch moves
through. Although it is easier to take off the protector and
close the pouch before you feed it in, you will create air bub-
bles and other irregularities that the machine will not be able
to even out.
The finished sheet will emerge from the material exit ቤ by itself. Remove it from the sup-
port rack only after it has completely cleared the exit.
Hot lamination
With the contents and the pouch you have selected at hand:
1 . Turn temperature selector ቦ to or . The boxes in the selection guide you used to
choose the pouch size and thickness also indicate what temperature setting you should use
with your pouch:
• If the box is white, use
,
• If the box is gray, use .
If you are not sure of the weight or thickness of the contents or pouch, you will avoid possi-
ble damage if you start with the lower temperature. With the lower setting, the machine will
take
5 minutes to warm up and with the higher, one minute longer. When the laminator has
reached the setting you chose, it will indicate its readiness
with a green standby light ቧ and an audible signal.
2 . Place contents in pouch in line with the guidelines (p. 5 ) .
Unlike with cold laminating, the contents can be face
down or up within the pouch. Close the pouch once the
contents are arranged.
3 . Insert sealed edge of the closed pouch into the entry ቨ,
as shown, and release it as soon as the machine begins
to drawn it in, as shown in the illustration.
The finished sheet will emerge from the material exit ቤ by
itself. Remove it from the support rack only after it has completely cleared the exit.
