To prevent the possibility of electrical shock, do not operate near sinks, bathtubs, etc. Always check the electrical requirements printed on the bottom of your laminator before plugging into a wall outlet. Do not use the unit if the power cord or case is damaged in any way. Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. Turn the power off when the unit is not in use, unattended or not intended to be used.
Many people are sensitive to the fumes produced by the thermal lamination of dry-film photopolymers.
Only use these products in a well ventilated room or, if available, under a fume hood. Some laminator manufacturers now offer self-contained fume handling systems that effectively eliminate the emmission of these mildly toxic vapors into the environment. Always wear eye protection when operating the laminator. Never wear loose clothing or jewelery that might be drawn between the lamination rollers. Store laminated boards in a light-tight enclosure if they will not be processed immediately.
