IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

Treat your @Home laminator as you would any other piece of electrical equipment:

•Keep it away from heat or water sources

•Plug it in near an easily accessible outlet

•Do not use if it is damaged in any way

•Do not attempt to open or otherwise repair it

•Turn it off after each use, and

•Unplug it when not in use for an extended period.

Set- up

The only assembly required for an @Home laminator is attaching the wire support rack, which ensures that the sheets coming out of the machine cool in a flat position and do not curl. Using the illustration on the inside of the manual cover as a reference, push the ends of the rack " into the holes ! in the back of the machine as far as they will go.

Operation

Your laminator works by means of two rollers, one on top of the other, each turning in the opposite direction to draw a plastic, open-sided pouch coated with adhesives through them and out of the machine. Understanding this simple mechanism will help you decide what materials you can laminate without risk of damage to your machine. You can feel confi- dent laminating all materials that are flat and dry, for example, but should avoid those that:

•Contain liquids, gels, or even moisture, that could escape

•May crumble or otherwise disperse under pressure, or

•Are likely to break, as could glass or rigid metals and plastics.

With hot lamination, where the rollers are also heated, make sure you don’t put anything into the pouch that could melt and leak into the machine.

Once you have checked the suitability of your contents, you need to decide whether to use cold or hot lamination. Cold lamination, also called self-adhesive lamination, bonds materials between an adhesive and a non-adhesive sheet solely by means of pressure. As a result, this method tends not to produce as tight a seal against water and the elements as hot lamination, but can be useful for heat-sensitive materials, such as thermal paper or fragile documents. While the cold method used to be the only good way to laminate photo- graphs, today’s heated-roller technology enables you to achieve excellent results and is therefore probably the better choice.
