manual abstract
As the machine draws in the pouch, keep holding on to the protector, which will be peeled away from the adhesive side as the pouch moves through. Although it is easier to take off the protector and close the pouch before you feed it in, you will create air bubbles and other irregularities that the machine will not be able to even out. The finished sheet will emerge from the material exit . by itself. Remove it from the support rack only after it has completely cleared the exit. Hot lamination With the contents and the pouch you have selected at hand: 1 . Turn temperature selector . to or . The boxes in the selection guide you used to choose the pouch size and thickness also indicate what temperature setting you should use with your pouch: • If the box is white, use , • If the box is gray, use . If you are not sure of the weight or thickness of the contents or pouch, you will avoid possible damage if you start with the lower temperature. With the lower setting, the machine will take 5 minutes to warm up and with the higher, one minute longer. When the laminator has reached the setting you chose, it will indicate its readiness with a green standby light . and an audible signal. 2 . Place contents in pouch in line with the guidelines (p. 5 ) . Unlike with cold laminating, the contents can be face down or up within the pouch. Close the pouch once the contents are arranged. 3 . Insert sealed edge of the closed pouch into the entry #, as shown, and release it as soon as the machine begins to drawn it in, as shown in the illustration. The finished sheet will emerge from the material exit . by itself. Remove it from the support rack only after it has completely cleared the exit. 6 M a i n t e n a n c e To keep your laminator free of adhesives that could hurt the quality of your work, you should clean the rollers from time to time, or frequently, depending on how often you use the machine. The best way is to do this right after you have finished hot laminating, because the rollers will still be hot, which is necessary for the cleaning process. To clean the rollers: • Turn selector to if it is not already on this setting • Wait for the readiness light and signal • Insert the cleaning sheet included in the package, repeating one or two times • Insert a plain white sheet of paper to test for remaining traces, and • Reinsert the cleaning sheet, if necessary, and retest. To clean the exterior of your machine, just wipe with a soft cloth dampened with plain water. Troubleshooting If you are not getting the results you should be, you can probably solve the problem quickly. If, for example, your end product is: • C l o u d y - The temperature is too low or the pouch/contents combination too thick. Try passing it through the machine one or more times, or raising the temperature if you can. Otherwise, choose a thinner pouch or reduce the weight or thickness of the contents. • C u r l e d - The support rack is not in place. Install it as described under S e t- u p. • Wa v y - The temperature is too high. Turn the machine to the lower setting if you can. Passing through the cleaning sheet will also help cool down the rollers. • S p o t t e d -The rollers have deposits of adhesive. Follow the cleaning procedure, as described under M a i n t e n a n c e. • Open edges - Your material is too close to the edge of the pouch to create a strong seal. Next time make sure your materials are at least 3 mm, or 0.11 inch, from the three unsealed edges of the pouch. If the pouch gets stuck in the rollers, it is probably due to incorrect placement of the contents or too thick a pouch/contents combination. If the top of the pouch has emerged from the material exit, pull on this end of the pouch evenly and slowly, making sure not to speed up the rollers. If this doesn’t work or the pouch has not yet emerged from the exit, unplug the machine and send it to us for repair, directly or through your retailer. Do not attempt to pull it out backwards, against the direction of the rollers. This will damage the machine.
