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.
• 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
being switched on inadvertently.
• Check the appliance and all components for visible
damages. The safety concept can only work if the
appliance is in a fault-free 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
appliances. Errors with the laminator can result
in damage to the document being laminated.
• Do not laminate any materials with a thickness
greater than 1.0 mm. Should you do so, the lami-
nating pouch could become angled incorrectly
inside the device. This would damage the lamina-
ting pouch, the document being laminated as well
as the laminator.
• Do not use an extension cable. 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be quickly withdrawn.
Risk of electrical shock!
• Connect the appliance to a power socket with
a mains voltage of 220 -240 V ~ /50 Hz.
• Do not operate the appliance if the power cable
or power plug is damaged.
• 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. Just wipe
it with a damp cloth.
• Do not expose the appliance to precipitation and
never use it in a humid or wet environment.
• Ensure that the power cable does not become
wet during operation.
• Unplug the appliance immediately after use.
The appliance is free of electricity only when you
remove the power plug from the power socket.
• Do not open the housing or attempt to repair the
appliance yourself. Should you do so, safety is no
longer assured and the warranty is voided.
Fire hazard!
• Do not use the appliance near hot surfaces.
• Do not retain the appliance in places exposed to
direct sunlight, this could lead to overheating and
cause irreparable damage.
• 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.
Injury hazard!
• Keep children away from the connecting cable and
the appliance. Children frequently underestimate the
danger from electrical appliances.
• Ensure the appliance has a secure positioning.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has fallen or
is damaged. Arrange for the appliance to be
checked and, if needed, repaired by experts.
• Some parts of the appliance become very hot
during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch
these parts.
