Operating Instructions
The Fichero A4 Laminator is designed for ease of use with a quick warm-up time.
- Power On: Turn on the laminator using the ON/OFF switch. The "POWER" indicator light (red) will illuminate.
- Warm-up: Allow the machine to warm up. The "READY" indicator light (green) will illuminate after approximately 3-5 minutes, indicating the laminator is ready for use.
- Prepare Document: Place your document or photo inside a laminating pouch. Ensure the document is centered and there is an even border around it.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your laminator.
- Cleaning: Ensure the laminator is unplugged and cool before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For internal rollers, occasionally feed a folded sheet of paper through the machine to pick up any adhesive residue.
- Storage: When not in use, store the laminator in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Laminator not turning on. | No power supply. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the laminator and the wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is functional. |
| Document jam. | Pouch inserted incorrectly or too thick. | Press the "RELEASE" button (if available) to disengage the rollers and gently pull the pouch out. Ensure the sealed edge is inserted first and the pouch thickness is within specifications (140-250 microns). |
| Poor lamination quality (bubbles, cloudy). | Insufficient warm-up time or incorrect pouch thickness. | Wait until the "READY" light is solid green. Ensure you are using appropriate laminating pouches for the machine's specifications. |
