DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR
ORCA-III LAMINATOR UNTIL YOU
HAVE READ THIS SECTION
CAREFULLY!
Your safety, as well as the safety of others, is
important to GBC Pro-Tech. This section contains
important safety information.
The following symbols are used throughout this
manual to indicate warnings and cautions.
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury, or alerts against unsafe
practices, or alerts against actions which could
damage the product.
The ORCA-III Laminator has been designed with
safety as a primary consideration. However, you
must become thoroughly familiar with the controls,
proper operation, proper service procedures, and
safety features of the laminator before using or
servicing the unit.
GBC Pro-Tech laminators are powerful machines
that are designed to mount, laminate and encapsulate.
The forces required to accomplish these tasks can
vary from negligible to very large.
The air-cylinder system used to provide downward
pressure on the top roll is capable of producing
forces greater than 1000 pounds (454 kg). This force
is applied to any object presented in the opening
(called the nip) between the two rolls.
Use care in lowering the top main laminating roll and
know how to react quickly in an emergency. The
laminator roll UP-DOWN switch is located on the
instrument panels. This switch controls the up and
down motion of the top laminator roll. Before
pressing this switch to the DOWN position, ensure
that nothing is in the nip area. If any problem or
danger should occur, depressing any of the
emergency buttons stops the rolls from closing and
raises them completely.
⇒
Note
To quickly stop the machine in the event of an
emergency, press any of the emergency stop buttons
or apply force to either kick cable. This action stops
the machine completely and raises the rolls.
In addition, the laminating rolls of the ORCA-III can
reach temperatures of over 200
°
F (100
°
C). At these
temperatures there is a danger of a severe burn if the
rolls are touched during set-up, operation or
servicing.
An important feature of the laminator is the
photoelectric eye system that stops the machine when
objects move into the nip area.
In “run” mode (forward or reverse arrow is lit
constantly) forward or reverse button must be pushed
for progress to resume.
In “footswitch” mode (forward or reverse arrow is
flashing) rolls stop if photoelectric eye is blocked but
resume automatically when obstruction is removed
from the photoelectric eye path.
