Safety instructions • This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physiological 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 before cleaning, so as to prevent the appliance from inadvertently switching itself on. • Check the appliance and all parts for visible damages. The safety concept can work only if the appliance is in a faultless 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.

Errors with the laminator can result in damage to the document being laminated. • Do NOT laminate any document which, together with the laminating pouch, would have a thickness of more than 1,0 mm. Should you do so, the laminating pouch could cant itself inside the laminating appliance. This would damage the laminating pouch, the document being laminated as well as the laminator. • Do not use an extension cable. Place the appliance where the mains power socket is easily accessible, so that in the event of an emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn. • Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance. • 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where the power wall socket is easily accessible, so that in the event of an emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn.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 mains power socket with a mains voltage of 220-240 V ~ 50 Hz. • Do not take the appliance into use if the power cable or the 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. Wipe it only with a damp cloth. • Do not expose the appliance to rain and never use it in a humid or wet environment. • Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet during operat...
