step. You may also use roll film products and

the PHOENIX has been tested and laminates

well with polyester based films with low tem-

perature adhesives (I.e. adhesive which work

below 200 degrees). For other materials you

will have to test those films to determine the

best settings and applicability of those prod-

ucts.

laminator must be lifted and carried to the place

where it will be used. This should be done by at least

two people one on each side. Grasp the machine

8-10 inches (20cm-25cm) from the side. It should

only be placed on a sturdy clean flat level surface

able to support 150 lbs. (70kg). See Stand

instructions.

Keep the area around your laminator clear with

adequate space around it so you can feed receive

and trim mounted and/or laminated images.

Unpacking your Laminator

1. Open the box and lift the machine out (at least

two persons necessary!). Grasp the machine

8"-10" (200mm-250mm) from either side at

the bottom metal parts. Be careful! The

polyethylene bag is slippery!

2. Place the machine on the work area described

above.

etting up your Laminator

The PHOENIX laminator should be installed

next to a power/main outlet. We do not

recommend using an extension cord but if

needed make sure the cord rating meets or

exceeds the machine rating.

The plug and the outlet must be easily

accessible. Please ensure that you plug your

laminator into a grounded three-prong

outlet. Please ensure that the total load of the

other items using the same circuit breaker do

not exceed its breaking value.

The US versions of the PHOENIX machines

are provided with a fixed power cable and

NEMA 5-20 plug.

Use 120Vac 20A grounded outlet

only.

110V 20 amp outlet

Using your PHOENIX 44

Plug the power cable into the grounded outlet

with appropriate service as described above.

Turn on power with main power switch. Roller

will turn continuously while power is on.

Depress the Heat switch and wait approxi-

mately 20 minutes for the unit to reach its

operating temperature. Also turn the Speed

on and set the Control Knob to zero so that

the roll heats uniformly. When Ready LED in-

dicator is constantly lit the PHOENIX lamina-

tor is ready for use.

CAUTION! et the Control Knob to the

“Open” position when not in use.

NOTE: The laminator may emit vapors the

first few times it is used. This is normal and

will cease after several minutes of use.
