Service
WARNING: Do not attempt to service or repair

damaged.
• Liquid has been spilled into the laminator.
• The laminator is malfunctioning after being
mishandled.

these instructions.
Installation
• Shipping damage should be brought to the
immediate attention of the delivering carrier.
• Place the laminator on a stable flat surface
capable of supporting 50 lbs.
• The surface should be at least 30" high to
assure comfortable positioning during
operation. All four rubber feet should be on the
supporting surface.
• Connect power cord to an appropriate power
source. Avoid connecting other equipment to
the same branch circuit to which the laminator
is connected as this may cause nuisance
tripping of the circuit breaker or blown fuses.
• The laminator should be positioned to allow
exiting film to drop freely to a flat surface.
Accumulation of laminated documents as they
exit the laminator may cause a jam.
• Avoid placing laminator near sources of heat or
cold. Avoid locating the laminator in the direct
path of forced, heated or cooled air.
