Important: Before operating your new laminator, lift up the exit tray located at the rear of the machine and lock it in place (fig. 1).
Operation, hot lamination
1Connect power cord to appropriate power source.
2Push the power button to turn the power “ON” (fig. 2). The indicator will glow red.
3Using the lamination guidelines (fig. 3), select the appropriate temperature setting 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.
Operation, cold lamination
1Connect power cord to appropriate power source.
2Rotate the temperature dial to the “cold” position (fig. 2). 
3Push the power button to turn the power “ON” (fig. 2), the indicator light will glow red.
4A series of four beeps will be heard when laminator reaches operating temperature.
5Position 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).
6Insert the pouch and its contents straight into the machine, leading with the folded edge.
7The 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).
8If you have finished laminating, push the switch to turn “OFF” the machine.
DO NOT LAMINATE AN EMPTY POUCH
4A series of four beeps will be heard when the laminator is ready to use.

Release lever
How to use the release lever.
1If pouch jams or is fed improperly, turn off the laminator immediately.
2Press the release lever down to release the motor from the rollers (fig. 6).
3Pull your document back out of the laminator while pressing the release lever down (fig. 7).
4Clean 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.
5Continue laminating.
Helpful lamination hints
1Temperature 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.
2Before laminating important or unique documents always run a test pouch through the laminator using a similar type document.
3Do not attempt to do single sided lamination. This will destroy the laminator.
4As 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.
5Do not block the vent slots, this will cause the laminator to overheat.
