IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

Treat your 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

HRL laminators come fully assembled and ready to use.

Operation

Your laminator works by means of four rubberized rollers, two above and two below, each pair turning in the opposite direction to draw an adhesive-coated, open-sided plastic pouch through the machine. Understanding this 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, like glass or rigid metals and plastics.

With hot lamination, also make sure not to put anything into the pouch that could melt and leak into the machine.

Assuming suitable contents, the question is whether to laminate them in the hot or cold mode. The key advantage of hot lamination is that it creates a tighter seal than cold, which bonds solely by pressure on an adhesive surface. With the new technology built into your machine, you can also now use the hot mode to laminate photographs of all kinds. Cold lamination, however, is still the better choice if your contents are heat-sensitive, like thermal paper.

With the contents and the mode decided, the next step is to choose the right pouch. Hot and cold laminating pouches are especially designed for their separate purposes and cannot be substituted for one another. When it comes to pouch size, each model has a dif- ferent maximum: DIN A4, or 9 inches (22,9 cm), for the HRL 95 and DIN A3, or 12 inches (30,5 cm), for the HRL 125. As for pouch thickness, if you are laminating paper of a stan- dard size and weight, you may have a number of options. Using the illustration on the inside of the manual cover as a reference, lift back the cover A of your machine and look for your paper/pouch combination on the guide printed inside:

•Numbered boxes indicate that you can laminate the combination,

•Empty or missing boxes indicate that you should not attempt it with your model.

HRL 95, HRL 125 specifications

The Fellowes HRL 125 and HRL 95 are two innovative models in the realm of shredders, designed to cater to both home and office environments. Both machines are engineered to provide high-performance shredding while ensuring user safety and convenience.

Starting with the HRL 125, this shredder boasts a robust cross-cutting mechanism that efficiently destroys sensitive documents into unreadable particles. Its ability to shred up to 12 sheets of paper in a single pass makes it ideal for moderate-volume users. The HRL 125 also features a 6-gallon pull-out bin, which allows for easy disposal of shredded materials without constant interruptions. Notably, its Smart Lock technology adds an extra layer of security, as it locks the shredder when not in use, preventing unauthorized access.

The HRL 95, while slightly more compact, does not compromise on efficiency. Capable of shredding up to 10 sheets of paper at once, this model features a 4-gallon bin that is easily accessible for cleaning. One of the standout features of the HRL 95 is its Silent Shred technology, which ensures quiet operation, making it perfect for shared workspaces or home offices where noise could be a distraction. Additionally, it has a safety lock feature that further protects users from any accidental activation.

Both models are equipped with a safety blade that avoids jamming, thus enhancing performance and longevity. The Fellowes HRL series also includes a convenient reverse function, which helps to clear paper jams quickly and effortlessly. Furthermore, they are designed with durable materials, ensuring a reliable shredder that stands the test of time.

The design of the HRL 125 and HRL 95 emphasizes user-friendly functionality. They both have clear indicator lights that signal when the shredder is in operation, when the bin is full, and when the machine is overheating. This attention to detail improves the user experience, ensuring that users can focus on their tasks without worrying about their shredder.

In summary, the Fellowes HRL 125 and HRL 95 are exemplary shredders, offering high-security features, reliable performance, and user-friendly design. Whether for personal or professional use, these models deliver the security and efficiency needed for document destruction.
