IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of
electric shock and injury, including the following:
1.
Carefully read all instructions
2.
Always unplug the appliance when not in use or
before cleaning.
3.
Extreme caution to be taken when appliance is
used by, or near to, children or invalids.
4.
To protect against risk of electrical hazards, do
not immerse power cord, plug, or appliance in
water or other liquids.
5.
Do not insert any metal objects, e.g. scissors, or
foreign objects into the entry or exit areas of the
machine. Do not laminate metallic objects.
6.
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged
power cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions, has been dropped or is damaged
in any manner.
7.
The plug on the power cord is the disconnect
device.
8.
The equipment should be installed near the
outlet socket and the socket should be easily
accessible.
OPERATION
Before you use your LV Laminating machine for the
first time, it is recommended that you familiarise
yourself with the machine's operation and controls.
Check the results using a range of sample sheets of
paper before laminating your valuable original
documents.
IMPORTANT
It is important that you do not use a Carrier with
1.
this machine. This can result in the laminator
becoming jammed or failing to run. This is an
operator fault and is not covered by a
manufacturer's warranty. (A carrier is made from
folded card and is supplied with most packs of
pouches).
2.
Do not attempt to laminate items which are too
thick for your laminator i.e. the total thickness
including the pouch must not exceed 0.8mm.
HOT LAMINATING
1.
Plug the laminator into a convenient power
socket
2.
Switch on the power switch ( I ) , the Red light
will illuminate to indicate that the power is on
3.
Select the appropriate temperature/pouch
setting for the thickness of pouch.
4.
The laminator will pre-heat for approximately 4-5
minutes.
5.
Whilst the laminator is pre heating, you can
prepare your item to be laminated by placing it
centrally into the correct sized pouch, leaving
the sealed edge intact.
6.
When the required temperature is reached the
Green light will come on.
7.
Gently insert the pouch, sealed edge first,
squarely between the entry guides into the front
of the laminator until it engages with automatic
feed rollers.
8.
The pouch will move through the unit and exit at
rear.
9.
During the laminating process the Green light
may go off as heat is absorbed by the laminate.
Always wait until the Green light is on before
laminating your next document.
10. Always turn your laminator OFF after use. ( O )

RELEASE FUNCTION
CAUTION: Do not try to force the pouch into
the laminator or try to pull the pouch out. This will
damage (and could break) the laminator as well as
not allowing for proper processing of the laminating
pouch.
There is a release button at the back on the left side
of the machine (H). IF you need to retrieve a
document during lamination:
1.
Stop the machine by turning the power off (O).
2.
Press the release button and hold it down.
3.
With the other hand gently pull the pouch and
document out of the front of the machine.
4.
If the pouch has gone completely into the
machine and is not sticking out of the front or
back, there is nothing you can do. Do not try to
open the machine. This can be dangerous and
will invalidate the warranty.
PHOTO LAMINATING
1.
Your Rexel LV Laminator will laminate
photographs without the need for special
pouches. Photographs have a sealed plastic
surface that can produce disappointing results
on some laminators as the adhesive will show
as bubbles on the surface of the photograph.
2.
Heavily coloured inkjet copies and varnished
printed pages will also have excellent results on
this laminator with standard pouches.
COLD LAMINATING
1. Select cold setting on the temperature dial.
2.
Use 'cold' or 'self-seal' pouches
3.
Remember, when the machine is cold the
temperature is correct to process 'cold' or 'self-
seal' pouches. The green ready light does not
illuminate for the cold setting.
CAUTION: Remember if you have been hot
laminating and then wish to Cold laminate the
machine will have to cool for at least 1 hour before
laminating can commence. Never use 'self-seal'
pouches on a hot setting, as they will be spoilt along
with the document inside.
HELPFUL HINTS
1.
The hot lamination process achieves the
required result by bonding into the surface of
your document. Once you have laminated your
document it cannot be retrieved.
2.
Do not attempt to hot laminate heat sensitive
documents such as thermal paper, wax based
inks etc.
3.
If the laminated document has a milky
appearance, you may need to process it again
at a higher temperature.
4.
If the laminated document is ridged and hard it
has probably been laminated too hot, and you
should put other laminates through at a lower
setting.
5.
If in doubt, start at a lower temperature and if
the laminate does not bond to the document
(appears cloudy) then repeat using a higher
temperature.
6.
If air pockets develop during processing, use a
small sharp needle or pin to gently puncture
pockets and process again.
7.
Do not handle the inside of the laminating pouch
moisture from your hands could impair the
processing quality.
