A jammed Fellowes laminator can stop your project in its tracks. If you own a Saturn 125 and the pouch is stuck deep inside with nothing visible at either end, you might feel stuck too. But there is a solution. This guide shows you exactly how to unjam a Fellowes laminator by disassembling it step by step.

You can restore full function if you proceed carefully. Disassembly is doable at home, but success depends on organization and patience. We will walk you through opening the unit, clearing the jam, and putting everything back correctly.

Prepare to Disassemble Your Fellowes Laminator

Before touching any tools, unplug the laminator and let it cool completely. Working on a hot or powered device risks burns and electrical hazards. Once cool, prepare a clean workspace with good lighting and a soft cloth to protect the casing.

Disassembling your Fellowes laminator gives direct access to the rollers where the pouch is trapped. While this voids the warranty, it remains a reliable fix when standard methods fail.
