[. . . ] How you arrange your contents in the selected pouch is important in both cold and hot modes. To produce professional-looking results and ensure a long working life for your machine, follow these simple guidelines (see illustration on the inside of the manual cover) : 1. Lay contents as close as possible to the sealed edge of the pouch, which is the end you will be feeding into the machine. If the material is more than 1 cm or 1/2 inch from this edge, the rollers will not have enough traction to draw in the pouch and will turn continuously without advancing it. Arrange multiple items close to each other in the pouch, with the edges no farther than 1 cm or 1/2 inch apart. If there is a larger gap between items, the rollers will slip into it and lose their traction. As above, the rollers will turn without advancing the pouch. Leave a free margin around contents of at least 3 mm, or 1/8 inch, on the three unsealed sides of the pouch to guarantee a strong seal. This is a minimum, meaning you can have as much margin beyond this as you wish. To begin laminating, place your machine on a work surface where you have enough room at the back to allow the full length of the pouch to clear the material exit . Plug in the machine and press the power button , which will start the rollers turning. If you plan to do laminate both cold and hot in one session, it makes sense to start with cold, so you don't have to wait for the machine to cool down. (This can take one to two hours. ) In either case, to save energy and reduce wear-and-tear on your machine, turn off the machine as soon as you are finished by pressing the power button . If you forget, however, the machine has an automatic switch-off function, which causes it to turn itself off one hour after not being used. 5 Cold Lamination With the contents and the pouch you have selected at hand: . The machine will indicate its readiness by turning on the green standby light and giving an audible signal. If the machine is at room temperature, this will be almost immediate. Place contents in pouch in line with the guidelines (p. Lay the pouch on a flat surface and open it so that the adhesive side, which is covered by a glossy protective sheet, is vertical. Place the contents face up onto the transparent, non-adhesive side, but do not close the pouch. Insert sealed edge of the open pouch into the entry, as shown, bending the protective sheet backwards over the machine and grasping its free edge. As the machine draws in the pouch, keep holding on to the protector, which will be peeled away from the adhesive side as the pouch moves through. Although it is easier to take off the protector and close the pouch before you feed it in, you will create air bubbles and other irregularities that the machine will not be able to even out.
