how can i fix Fellowes MARS A4 LAMINATOR?

a a5 pouch has become stuck inside the laminator and am unable to get it out as not visible. only 2 screws underneath which dont seem to undo anything. any ideas to be able to undo cover if possible to get at the fried pouch would be appreciated, as makes a crunching noise when turned on and unable to use, pouch must be stuck some where inside.

Excellent, worked like a charm (see answers below):
----------------------------
There are 4 additional screws under the rubber footings. Pop them off with a knife and then undo the screws.

You should be able to undo the screws and pop off the white section of the laminator away from the grey plastic.

How do you get the cog off? I can't undo the screw!

Frustrated but determined!, February 2013
Stu is 100% correct...thanks man! I was just able to pull out a stuck sheet because I could get off the cover... careful when you pull off the cover that the internal 4 springs do not fall away from their intended position.

Than you unscrew the motor off the end the unscrew the cog pull the other ine off, the n you should be able to put to get the pouch back out and put it all back together!

Your should be able to undo the screws and pop off the white section of the lamiator away from the grey plastic. The plastic is tough though and could break if the plastic tabs don't pop out.
