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be quickly withdrawn.
ƽ 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.

• 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

during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch
these parts.
