Operation, hot lamination
1
Connect power cord to appropriate power source.
2
Push the power button to turn the power “ON” (fig. 1). The LED
for the lowest temperature setting will glow red (second LED from
bottom).
3
Using the lamination guidelines (fig. 2) select the appropriate
temperature setting by the pushbuttons (fig. 3) for the pouch gauge
thickness and material you are laminating.
• If the laminated item appears to be cloudy, it means that the
laminator temperature is not hot enough. Allow the laminator to
heat for a few more minutes then run the pouch through again.
• If the laminated item is wavy, the TEMPERATURE is too hot. Verify
temperature selector is set at the appropriate temperature.
• Always allow sufficient time for the laminator to adjust to changes
in temperature setting.
4
A beep will be heard when laminator reaches operating temperature
and the green LED will glow on (first LED on bottom).
5
Position the document to be laminated into a GBC laminating pouch,
so that the document is aligned to the folded sealed edge and the
right and left borders are equal (fig. 4).
6
Insert the pouch and its contents straight into the machine, leading
with the folded edge.
7
The laminated item will automatically exit the rear of the machine.
After the pouch has stopped moving, immediately place it on a flat
surface to cool for one minute before handling (fig. 5).
8
If you have finished laminating, push the switch to turn “OFF” the
machine.

Helpful lamination hints
1
Temperature setting Guidelines:
When laminating thin paper with light ink coverage, set the
temperature dial at the low end of the range. Thick paper and heavy
ink coverage require higher settings. Temperature settings will vary
due to the finish, chemistry and heat absorption properties of the
material being laminated.
2
Before laminating important or unique documents always run a test
pouch through the laminator using a similar type document.
3
Do not attempt to do single sided lamination. This will destroy the
laminator.
4
As soon as the lamination is completed, remove from the rear of the
machine and place on a cool flat surface for cooling to prevent the
pouch from curling.
5
Do not block the vent slots, this will cause the laminator to overheat.
Release button
How to use the release button.
1
If pouch jams or is fed improperly, turn off the laminator immediately.
2
Press the release button down to release the motor from the rollers
(fig. 6).
3
Pull your document back out of the laminator while pressing the
release button down (fig. 7).
4
Clean the rollers by running the cleaning sheet supplied with the
laminator through the machine 2 or 3 times in the hot operation
mode (red zone on temperature dial). If you do not have this sheet,
use a similar cardboard sheet that fits the width of the laminator.
5
Continue laminating.
