jammed, switch power off and unplug from outlet immediately. Once cooled, remove
jam from laminator with the use of the release lever located on the back of the machine.

• To avoid electrical shock, do not immerse unit, power cord, or plug in water or any
other liquid.
• Do not touch the machine with wet or damp hands.

unit is in operation. Serious injury may occur.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REPAIR BY OPENING THE LAMINATOR.
No power. Indicators do not turn on and laminator does not work.
Check the power plug and see if it is correctly plugged into the wall socket.
Laminator is jammed:
Only use pouches intended for laminators. Make sure item in pouch is evenly inserted. For
smaller items, do not use too large a pouch because this may cause poor laminating
quality and create jams. Clear jams by using the release lever:
• Turn off laminator and unplug from power outlet.
• Make sure laminator is on a stable flat surface.
• Firmly press the RED Jam Release lever all the way down and hold.
• With the other hand, pull to remove jammed item from either the front or back opening.
• Release the Jam Release lever.
• When cleared, plug the power cord back into the outlet. Turn on and resume use.
Avoid jams:
• Only use pouches intended for laminators.
• Be sure to insert with the closed (sealed) edge of the laminating pouch first.
• Make sure item in laminating pouch is evenly inserted.
•
For smaller or irregularly shaped items,
do not use too large a pouch because this may
cause poor laminating quality and create jams. Position in center of adequately sized
pouch and trim after lamination.
DO NOT CUT LAMINATING POUCH TO FIT ITEM
BEFORE LAMINATION.
• Do not laminate wet items. Laminating damp/moist documents will result in poor
laminate quality.
Lamination is cloudy and/or bubbled:
Run the laminated item through the laminator again. The laminator requires a 5-8 minute
preheating time.
