9. Preparing for cold lamination
If you have previously performed hot lami- nation:
After hot laminating, allow the laminator to cool down completely before beginning with cold lamination. Remember, the rollers inside the laminator will still be hot. These can damage the laminating pouch and the document to be laminated!
➩Insert the foil guide rails q in the designated holes on the rear of the laminator.
➩Pull out the document supports s so that the documents can be pulled in straight into the slot for manual foil feed t.
➩Insert the plug of the laminator into a mains power socket.
➩Provide a firm location for the appliance.
➩Set the selector switch for hot and cold lamina- tion i to "COLD".
Take note: For cold lamination, ALWAYS place the foil thickness switch o at 125 microns. The red ON/OFF indicator lamp 
u and the green indicator lamp "Ready" 
y now glow.
➩Place the document to be laminated into a laminating pouch of the matching size.
Make certain that all corners of the docu- ment have at least two millimetres of space to the edge of the laminating pouch, as shown in Fig. 1.
Make certain that you use only one pouch for laminating. First open it up, as shown in Fig. 2.
For information about the lamination pro- cess, please read section 10.
10. Lamination process
➩Lay the laminating pouch onto the pouch guide q. Lay the right or left edge of the laminating pouch against the pouch format lock r (closed side leading). Slide the pouch format lock r together until the selected format size is reached. This pre- vents the laminating pouch from being pulled in at an angle.
Should the laminating pouch be pulled in at an angle, use the
➩Now slide the laminating pouch slowly into the slot for manual pouch input t.
➩When you have slid the laminating pouch several centimetres into the slot t, it will start to be pulled in automatically. Release the laminating pouch as soon as you notice it being pulled in auto- matically.
Ensure there is at least 45 cm of open space in front of the laminator. If you do not, the laminating pouch will not be completely ejected from the laminator after lamina- tion. This could damage the laminated pouch.
➩The finished laminated pocket is now ejected
from the foil slot a of the laminator. Only after hot lamination:
➩Remove them immediately from the appliance, as hot foil pockets can still be easily deformed. Place them on a flat surface to cool down.
To improve the lamination result, you can weigh down the still hot foil bag with a book, a file folder or other heavy, smooth object. This will give it a smooth and flaw- less surface.
