Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this GBC ® Pouch Laminator. The laminator
heats up to operating temperature quickly and retains its heat so you
can laminate your documents without waiting. The laminator also
provides cold lamination for cold lamination pouches. The laminator
provides audible and visual indication that it is ready to laminate. The
laminator goes into a standby mode after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Please take a little time to study these instructions to ensure you get the
best out of your machine. Your new laminator may emit a slight odour
during the initial operation. It is normal and will diminish after a few
hours of operation.

Caution: Unplug this product before cleaning the exterior. Wipe
exterior only with a damp cloth and do not use detergents or
solvents. Your laminator came with a cleaning card that is to
be used after each laminating session, prior to shutting off the
machine. Adhesive may exit the pouch and stick to the rollers
while laminating or if a jam occurs. The cleaning card removes
this residue, keeping your machine in proper working order and
extending its life.
1 Run the cleaning sheet through the machine two or three times.
2 Turn off the machine when finished laminating and cleaning.
