Setup

1. Operate the machine on a flat and stable surface.
2. Ensure there is enough clear space at the rear of the machine for the laminating pouch to exit the machine.
3. TRIAD is a touch screen laminator, that operates with laminating pouches 150 (2x75) micron – 500(2x250) micron thick.

Operating the laminator

1. Connect power cord to appropriate power source.
2. Turn the TRIAD laminator on using the switch located at the back of the machine.
3. Then switch the machine on using the touch screen (see fig.1).Once the machine is turned on you can now select the correct setting.
4. For hot lamination select the setting that corresponds with your pouch thickness. For example 125Mic is the heat setting for a 125 Micron Pouch. (see fig.1)
5. Once you have selected the correct heat setting the machine will now warm up. (Allow 5 minutes for warm up time)
6. The LED light at the front of the machine will flash RED until the machine is ready. The LED light will change to BLUE when the laminator has reached the correct temperature.
7. When the machine is ready prepare the pouch for insertion. Pouches should ALWAYS be inserted sealed edge first. So never insert the loose end of the pouch into the machine first.
8. Insert the pouch squarely into the machine (incorrectly inserted pouches causes jams).
9. The laminated pouch will appear at the rear of the machine. Allow it to cool down on a cool flat surface before handling
10. When you have finished laminating turn machine off and remove plug from the power source.
11. GBC TRIAD laminators will automatically turn off after 20 minutes of nonuse.
12. Lastly if the laminating pouch becomes jammed in the machine please use the reverse button located on the machine. This will allow for the rollers to reverse the pouch out the front of the machine. (see fig.1)

The Intermittence Operation on this machine is 30mins On and 30mins Off, but we recommend that you allow the machine to cool down for at least 15mins after 30mins use. Do not place items on top of the machine at any time.
