General safeguards

• Use the unit only for its intended purposes of laminating documents.

• Do not place anything in the throat opening of the laminator other

GBC Heatseal H65/H75 Laminator is designed for 2 x 75 micron (total 150) up to 2 x 125 micron (total 250) pouches.

1Choose the right setting (fig. 1).

The laminator has 2 temperature settings positioned on the front:

‘Std. Paper’– when laminating with Standard paper (less than 200 g per sq. metre)

‘Photo paper’– when laminating with Photo paper (more than 200 g per sq. metre)

2Push the switch located on the right side to “On” (I) (fig. 2a). The red “Power” indicator lamp will illuminate (fig. 2b).

3The “Ready” indicator lamp will glow green when the laminator reaches lamination temperature (fig. 3).

Note: It is normal for the Ready Light to cycle On and OFF after initial warm up. You can continue laminating.

4Position the paper to be laminated into a GBC laminating pouch, so that the document is aligned to the folded edge and right and left borders are equal (fig. 4).

5Insert the pouch and its content straight into the machine, leading with the folded edge (fig. 5).

6The laminated item will automatically exit at the rear of the pouch laminator (fig. 6). Immediately after the pouch has stopped moving, place it on a flat surface to cool for one minute before handling.

7If you have finished laminating, then move the switch to the "off"

(0)position (fig. 7).

Do not laminate an empty pouch.

To correct misfeeds, press and hold the release button (fig. 8), located at the back of the machine, while pulling the misfed material out of the laminator.

Special notice

Thank you, for your recent purchase of a GBC Pouch Laminator. Your new laminator may emit a slight odour during the initial stage of operation. It is normal and will diminish after several hours of operation.

• Do not overload electrical outlets beyond their capacity; fire or

electrical shock could result.

• The unit is intended for indoor use only.

• Never push objects through the cabinet slots. Do not spill liquid of

any kind on this product.

• Close supervision is required when this product is used near

children.

1As 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.

2If 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 laminator is too hot. Verify temperature selector is set at the appropriate temperature.

3Do not attempt to do single sided lamination. This will destroy the laminator.

4Do not block the vent slots, this will cause the laminator to overheat.

5Before laminating important or unique documents always run a test pouch through the laminator using a similar type document.
