General View of the Laminator**
The following figure shows the laminator in detail.

Laminator Operating Modes
The laminator can process all cold and hot laminating pouches in the thicknesses 75 μ, 80 μ and 125 μ.
Hot Laminating
When “hot laminating” mode is active, the laminating pouch is heated to a temperature of approx.
120 °C to 150 °C as it passes through the laminator rollers. This creates a permanent thermal bonding of the laminated material and the laminating pouch. Hot lamination permanently prevents the laminated material from coming into contact with water, oxygen and bacteria. Cold Laminating When “cold laminating” mode is active, the laminating pouch is heated to a temperature of approx. 25 °C. The laminating pouches are coated with a special adhesive. The sides  of the laminating pouches are pressed together during the laminating process. A detachable bond is produced and the material can be removed if necessary without any damage.
Positioning and Starting Up the Laminator
The following section should help when starting up the laminator.

1. Set the laminator down on a level, stable working surface close to an easily accessible power socket.
2. Switch the power switch to OFF. Only use the power cable supplied.
3. Connect the power cable to the connection socket in the laminator.
4. Connect the power plug to a power socket.
5. Switch the power switch to ON.
   The transport rollers start to rotate.
   The “COLD” status LED lights up GREEN
   The laminator has been put into operation.

Information on the Material
■ Do not laminate metallic, wet or uneven materials.
■ The material to be laminated, including the laminating pouch, must not be thicker than 0.5 mm.
■ Thin and soft materials should be laminated in laminating pouches with the largest foil thickness (125 µ).
■ If possible, do not use too many small pieces of material in one laminating pouch.
Information on the Laminating Pouches
■ Only use foil pouches intended for lamination purposes.
Other types of foil, such as transparent film, are not suitable for laminating.
■ Only use hot laminating pouches for “Hot laminating” operating mode.
■ Only use cold laminating pouches for “Cold laminating” operating mode.
■ Choose the size of laminating pouch according to the material to be laminated.
■ If laminating pouches need to be cut, only cut the laminating pouches after laminating.
Information on the Laminating Process
■ Do not insert an empty laminating pouch in the infeed (rear) of the laminator.
■ Do not insert a laminating pouch when rolled up into the infeed (rear) of the laminator.
