FEATURES & TIPS

The Auto (hot)/cold button is used to toggle back and forth between hot and cold laminating.

• For best results, use Fellowes brand pouches: 3, 5, 7 or 10 mil pouches.
• This machine does not need a carrier to laminate. It is a carrier-free mechanism.
• Always put the item to be laminated into the appropriate sized pouch.
• Always test laminate with a similar size and thickness before final process.
• Prepare pouch and item for lamination. Place item within pouch centered and touching the leading sealed edge. Ensure the pouch is not too large for the item.
• If required, trim excess material from around the item after lamination and cooling.

BEFORE LAMINATING

1. Ensure the machine is on a stable surface.
   
2. Check there is enough clear space (min 20") behind the machine to allow items to pass through freely.
   
3. Plug the machine into an easily accessible main outlet.
   
4. Fit the Exit Tray to the rear of the machine.
   

STEPS TO LAMINATE

5. Switch the power on (located at the rear right side of the machine).
   
6. The control panel buttons will flash once as part of a check light system to ensure proper function.
   
7. The Standby button will remain on with a soft blue glow.
   
8. Press the 'Standby' button on the control panel. The Auto (hot)/cold button and entry tray lights will flash. The auto display will turn solid and a beep will sound when the laminator is ready for 3 mil. Additional mil indicators will light up when the laminator is ready for thicker pouches.
   
9. The machine will automatically warm-up to the hot pouch (auto) setting.
   Note: the laminator features AutoSense which automatically recognizes the pouch thickness you insert into the laminator. The laminator automatically adjusts for hot pouches from 3 mil to 10 mil.
   
10. For cold lamination, press the Auto (hot)/cold button. The cold display and entry tray lights will flash. When the laminator is ready for cold lamination the cold display will turn solid and a beep will sound.
    Note: to use the cold setting after hot lamination you may have to wait for the laminator to cool down for 30 – 60 minutes.
    
11. To switch back to hot pouch laminating after cold laminating, press the Auto (hot)/cold button.
    
12. Place the pouch, sealed edge first, into the pouch / document entry. Keep the pouch straight and central within the document entry, not on an angle. Use the entry markings as a guide.
    
13. Upon exit, the laminated pouch is hot and soft. Remove the pouch immediately. Place pouch onto a flat surface to cool. This helps prevent any jamming.
