INTRODUCTION STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE Thank you for purchasing a ProSEAL laminator. We have designed the ProSEAL Laminator to give you years of reliable service. As you become familiar with the ProSEAL Laminator, you will appreciate the high quality of its production and the excellence in its engineering design. Your ProSEAL Laminator meets the standards of UL 775 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60950. The ProSEAL Laminator has been designed to be used with ProSEAL Pouch Boards and ProSEAL Flexible Pouches.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, including the following: 7. This unit should be situated away from heat sources such as heat register or stoves/ovens. 8. The laminator's location or position should not interfere with its proper ventilation. Do not install or place in a built-in enclosure such as a bookcase. 1. Read all instructions before connecting or operating this unit. 2.
UNPACKING AND SET-UP The ProSEAL 44 is a professional laminator designed for ease of use. The process speed and temperature have been preset to eliminate operator guesswork. The factory setting will facilitate good quality results using the ProSEAL Flexible Pouches and Pouch Boards. NOTICE! Retain original packaging. Failure to return machines properly packed in original packaging will impose a fifteen percent restocking fee plus costs to repair shipping damage.
NIP CONTROL KNOB The Control Knob (see figure 1) is located on the right hand side of the laminator and should be operated from this side. The control knob is used to adjust the height of the rollers. The Nip Settings are 1/4"(6mm), 3/16" (5mm), 1/8" (3mm) and 1/16" (1.5mm) correspond to Pouch Board thickness. There is also a fully closed position - 0" (0mm) for future film only applications. Select the setting that indicates the thickness of the material you will be using.
CONTROL PANEL The Control Panel (see Figure 2) is located on the top right of the machine. A diagram of the Control Panel is shown in Figure 3. Figure 2 Control Panel Location PANEL FUNCTIONS: - The LED indicator tells the temperature status. If it is flashing slowly, this indicates the laminator is heating up and has not yet reached process temperature. A steady light indicates the unit has reached process temperature and is ready for use.
