Overheating Protection
• Do NOT laminate any document which, together
with the laminating pouch, would have a thickness
of more than 1,0 mm. Should you do so, the lami-
nating pouch could cant itself inside the laminating
appliance. This would damage the laminating pouch,
the document being laminated as well as the
laminator.
• Do not use an extension cable. Place the appliance
where the mains power socket is easily accessible,
so that in the event of an emergency the plug can
be quickly withdrawn.
This appliance is fitted with overheating protection.
Should the motor become too hot due to excessive
loading, the appliance switches itself off automati-
cally. In this case, disconnect the plug from the
mains power socket and wait until the appliance
has cooled down to room temperature. You can
then reconnect the plug to the mains power socket
and continue using the appliance. We recommend
that, after 2 hours continuous use, you allow the ap-
pliance to cool down for about 30 minutes.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate
remote control system to operate the appliance.
• Place the appliance where the power wall socket
is easily accessible, so that in the event of an
emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn.
5. Safety instructions
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical, physio-
logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in
experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used.
ƽ Risk of electrical shock!
• Connect the appliance to a mains power socket
with a mains voltage of 220-240 V 50 Hz.
~
• Do not take the appliance into use if the power
cable or the plug is damaged.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• Unplug the power cable after every use and be-
fore cleaning, so as to prevent the appliance from
inadvertently switching itself on.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• NEVER immerse the appliance in water.
Wipe it only with a damp cloth.
• Check the appliance and all parts for visible
damages. The safety concept can work only if
the appliance is in a faultless condition.
• Never perform hot lamination on flammable,
heat-sensitive and/or meltable materials and do
not laminate drawings on temperature-sensitive
paper or material that will undergo changes in
colour or quality when subjected to heat.
• Never laminate valuable or unique documents.
Although the laminator satisfies all predominant
safety norms and standards, errors can never be
completely discounted - as with all electrical ap-
pliances. Errors with the laminator can result in
damage to the document being laminated.
• Do not expose the appliance to rain and never
use it in a humid or wet environment.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet
during operation.
• Unplug the appliance immediately after use.
The appliance is free of electricity only when you
remove the plug from the mains power socket.
• Do not open the housing or attempt to repair the
appliance yourself. Should you do so, device safety
can no longer be assured and the warranty will
become void.

ƽ Risk of fire!
6. Suitable laminating pouches
• Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of hot
surfaces.
• For hot lamination you can use pouches with a
width of up to 230 mm and a maximum thickness
of 125 micron.
• Do not place the appliance at locations exposed
to direct sunlight.
This could lead to overheating and cause irrepa-
rable damage.
• Please note that each laminating pouch may only
be used once.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in
use.
• NEVER cover the ventilation slits on the top of the
appliance while it is switched on.
ꢀ For hot lamination, use only laminating
pouches that are expressly designated
for hot lamination.
For cold lamination, use only laminating
pouches that are expressly designated
for cold lamination.
ƽ Risk of injury!
•
Keep children away from the connecting cable and
the appliance. Children frequently underestimate the
dangers of electrical devices.
ꢀ Take note that the laminating pouches in-
cluded with the laminator are intended
exclusively for hot lamination.
• Ensure that the appliance stands with a safe and
secure positioning.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has sustained
a fall or is damaged. Arrange for the appliance
to be checked and, if necessary, repaired by a
qualified expert.
• Some parts of the appliance become very hot
during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch
these parts.

shown in Fig. 1. Make certain that you use
only one pouch for laminating. First open
it up, as shown in Fig. 2.
