SET-UP
1. Connect power cord to appropriate
power source.
2. Confirm the type of pouch you are using
–carrier or carrier-less– and move carri-
er/carrierless switch to appropriate
position.
3. Push the power switch to the "run"
position.
4. Select appropriate temperature for the
pouch gauge thickness and material
thickness you are laminating.
Temperature Setting Guidlines*
Set the temperature knob to the appropriate
setting for the pouch gauge and material
thickness you are laminating. When lami-
nating thin paper with light ink coverage set
the temperature dial at the low end of the
range. Thick paper and heavy ink coverage
require higher settings within the range.
PQ12
* Temperature setting will vary due to the
finish, chemistry and heat absorption
properties of the materials you are laminat-
ing. If pouch is cloudy the first pass through
the machine, adjust temperature setting
higher and run through again. If warping
occurs, reduce temperature. Run additional
pieces at lower setting once machine has
cooled. Always allow sufficient time for
laminator to adjust to changes in
temperature settings.
OPERATION
This Pouch Laminator is designed to run
Carrier or Carrierless pouches. Check your
pouches. Always run carrier pouches with a
carrier to prevent pouch adhesive from
oozing onto the rollers. Know your pouch
before operating the laminator.
Carrier Pouches
1. Move carrier/carrierless switch to "carrier"
position and move power switch to "run."
2. Wait for ready light to illuminate.
3. Center the item to be laminated into a
pouch.
4. Insert the pouch and item into a carrier
which is provided with each carton of
pouches. Position the sealed edge of the
pouch against the inside folded edge of
the carrier. Handle carriers carefully so
they can be re-used.
5. Insert the folded edge of the carrier
straight into the front of the laminator until
you feel the rollers pick up the carrier.
6. Remove the warm carrier from the rear of
the pouch laminator after it has stopped
moving. Place on flat surface to cool for
one minute before removing finished
pouch.
7. When you are finished laminating switch
the machine to "OFF".
Carrier-less Pouches
1. Move carrier/carrierless switch to "carrier-
less" position and move power switch to
"run."
2. Wait for ready light to illuminate.
3. Center the item to be laminated into a
pouch.
4. Insert the sealed edge of the loaded pouch
