Maintenance
Caring For The
GBC Falcon 60+ (-1) Laminator
GBC offers Cleaning kits as well as Extended Maintenance
Agreements.
Contact your local GBC Service Representative or your
dealer/distributor for additional information.
The only maintenance required by the operator is to peri-
odically clean the heat rollers and schedule semi annual
maintenance checks.
The following procedure will help keep the heat rollers
free of adhesive that has been deposited along the edge
of the laminating film. Proper alignment of the rolls of film
reduces the amount of “squeeze out”.
WARNING
: Do not attempt to laminate adhesives
marked “Flammable”.
• Do not laminate glitter and/ or metallic items.
Damage to the rollers may result.
WARNING:
Do not apply any cleaning fluids or
solvents to the rollers. Some solvents and fluids
could ignite on heated rollers.
• Never clean rollers with sharp or pointed
objects.
• Hardened adhesive deposits on the rollers can
cause damage to the rollers. Rotate the rollers at
the lowest speed setting on the control panel.
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS
PERFORMED WHILE THE LAMINATOR IS HOT.
USE EXTREME CAUTION.
1. Remove the film from the laminator following the
procedure outlined in steps 1 through 6 of the section
