Do you have a question about the VIDATECO OL260G and is the answer not in the manual?
The VIDATECO OL260G/L260GS Laminator is a versatile device designed for both hot and cold lamination, suitable for protecting various documents from business cards to A4 size. It is engineered for ease of use and efficient operation, making it a practical tool for home or office environments.
The laminator's primary function is to encapsulate documents in a protective plastic pouch, safeguarding them from wear and tear, moisture, and fading. It supports both hot and cold lamination methods, offering flexibility depending on the type of document and pouch used. Hot lamination involves heating the adhesive on the pouch to seal it around the document, while cold lamination uses pressure-sensitive pouches that do not require heat. The device features a "Jam Release Lever" to address any pouch jams, ensuring smooth operation.
The laminator is designed for straightforward operation. Before use, it should be placed on a suitable table with enough space behind it for the laminated documents to exit. It operates with pouch thicknesses ranging from 3 mil to 5 mil and can handle documents from business card size up to A4.
For hot lamination, users select the 'HOT' setting and wait approximately 2 minutes for the green 'READY' light to illuminate. The sealed edge of the hot pouch is then inserted first into the entry slot. The machine processes the pouch, and the laminated document exits from the rear. It's noted that the 'READY' light may temporarily go out during lamination as heat is absorbed, which is normal. After continuous lamination of 3-5 sheets, a brief 1-2 minute pause is recommended to allow the laminator to reheat.
For cold lamination, users select the 'COLD' setting, and the green 'READY' light will turn on immediately. The sealed edge of the cold pouch is inserted first into the entry slot. No further operations are needed until the pouch exits. It's important to note that after hot lamination, the machine must be allowed to cool down to room temperature before performing cold lamination. The pouches provided with the device are specifically for hot lamination.
After lamination, the pouch will be hot and soft upon exit and should be removed immediately and placed on a surface to cool down, which helps ensure a better seal. The laminator should be switched to 'OFF' and unplugged from the power supply after use. For optimal longevity, it's recommended to switch off the laminator for at least 15 minutes to cool down after approximately half an hour of laminating.
The laminator is designed for easy maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
