SAFETY MESSAGES

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SERVICE

CLEANING

The safety of you and others is very
important to GBC. Important safety
messages and information are contained
within this manual as well as on the
machine itself. Please be certain to
carefully read and understand all of
these before operating the machine.

The safety alert symbol precedes
each safety message in this

Operator Manual. This symbol indicates a
potential personal safety hazard that could
hurt you or others, as well as cause
product or property damage.

The following pictorial is found on the 
PF-3200:

This safety message means that you
could be seriously hurt or killed if you
open the product and expose yourself to
hazardous voltage. NEVER remove the
machine’s outer cover. ALWAYS refer
service requirements to qualified GBC
Personnel.

• Use the PF-3200 Binder only for its

intended purpose of binding paper and
covers according to the indicated
specifications.

• Before operating the machine, make

certain that the PF-3200 is placed on a
secure, stable work area. This will help
prevent the machine from falling and
possibly causing personal injury and
damage.

• Retain this Operating Instructions

manual for later use. 

CAUTION: IN CASE OF
EMERGENCY, USE THE POWER
CORD AS A MAIN DISCONNECT.

• The PF-3200 must be connected to a

supply voltage corresponding to the
electrical rating of the machine operating
instructions (also listed on the serial
number label). 

• The socket-outlet shall be located near

the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

• The grounding plug is a safety feature

and will only fit into the proper grounding
type power outlet. If you are unable to
insert the plug into an outlet, contact a
qualified electrician to have a suitable
outlet installed. Do not alter the plug on
the end of the cordset (if provided) of the
PF-3200. It was provided for your safety.

• Unplug the PF-3200 before moving the

machine or whenever the machine is not
in use for an extended period of time. 

• Do not operate the PF-3200 if the

machine has a damaged power supply
cord or plug. Do not operate the
machine after any malfunction, if liquid
has been spilled into the machine, or if
the machine has been damaged in 
any way. 

• Do not overload electrical outlets beyond

their capacity. To do so can result in fire
or electrical shock.
