4-1 Safety Precautions:

DANGER

1.High temperatures are present and care should be exercised in operating and maintaining the laminator. Even after the machine has been turned off it will remain hot for an extended period of time. Contact with hot surfaces may cause burns.

2.Always make sure the power cord is not placed under the laminator where it might get overheated from proximity to the bottom heat shoe.

DANGER

3.The safety shield must remain attached to the machine and in position any time there is power to the machine. You may tip the safety shield down while loading the film. Always make sure the rollers are NOT turning when the safety

shield is flipped down.

DANGER

4.Never operate the laminator with neckties, jewelry, or lose clothing. Tie back long hair. These items can be caught and be pulled in by the laminator causing serious injury.
