Do's
Before laminating, read and understand the machines instruction manual and the user's guide. Use the machine
only for its intended purpose
Use quality pouches. Pouches used in GBC laminators must have a minimum level of stiffness which some lower
quality pouches do not provide
Place all documents inside the pouch as close to the presealed edge as possible
Before laminating irreplaceable documents, test the setting on a similar but not important document first
Allow the machine to heat to desire temperature before use.
Remove the pouch from the machine immediately after laminating and allow to cool on a flat surface before
handling
Turn off your laminator when not in use
Always feed pouches presealed edge first
Don'ts
Don't use the laminator in possibly hazardous conditions-such as near water, while eating or drinking, or on
unstable work surfaces
Don't remove a jammed pouch while the power is on
Don't cut down the pouches or trim the presealed edge off the pouch before lamination or it may jam. If trimming
is required cut the pouch only after lamination
Don't feed empty pouches into the machine
Don't attempt one-sided lamination, use creased or torn pouches, or feed anything other than paper products into
the machine (not suitable for laminating wood, metal, flowers, leaves etc)
Don't leave pouch in Machine after laminating as the end may burn, bubble, or melt
Don't leave the laminator unattended during lamination
