GBC Ultima 65 Laminator
Helpful operating hints for safe, quality lamination
LOCATION OF THE LAMINATOR
Position your laminator away from drafts that can affect roller temperature.
FILM LOADING TIPS
It is recommended that
LOADING
and
UNLOADING
be performed when the laminator is
COLD
.
After removing the old rolls, check the rollers for adhesive residue. Gently rubbing with Scotch Brite pad,
then wiping with a damp cloth can easily remove it. Always change the top and bottom film rolls at the
same time. Be sure to use the
CORE
ADAPTERS
from the
PREVIOUS ROLL
.
Laminating film
MUST UNWIND FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE ROLL
(dull side up) shiny side
must be against the rollers. Use the
FILM ALIGNMENT GUIDES
on the film shafts to be certain that
the top and bottom rolls are aligned properly. When loading, unwind top and bottom film rolls enough to
allow film slack for threading.
REMEMBER TO
: 1) reposition the idler bar in the “J” channel, 2) lower
the safety shield, and 3) position the feed tray so the safety latch is engaged.
START SLOW
Turn the power switch
ON
. Machine will default to the
1 MIL/SPEED 5.
If using 1.5 or 3 MIL film, you
must press the 1.5/3 MIL button.
SELECT
lamination
SPEED.
Default setting is speed 5. Use the
SPEED GUIDELINES as a reference or starting point. LOWER SPEED for thicker materials, dark colors
and heavy ink coverage. INCREASE SPEED for thinner materials and lighter colors. NOTE: During the
initial warm-up period, the roller temperature will rise above the optimum “operating temperature” then
fall back. To reduce the effects of excessive heat on your materials when you start,
REDUCE THE
SPEED TO SETTING 2 FOR THE FIRST FEW FEET OF OPERATION.
Once the temperature has
stabilized, resume running at the “suggested starting” speeds, indicated on the
SPEED GUIDELINES
chart which corresponds to the thickness of the material.
READY TO BEGIN
Begin laminating only after
READY
light is lit.
DO NOT RUN
the laminator when it is
COLD
. Damage
to the rollers will result.
PRESS RUN:
While running the laminator, watch the adhesive melt line (the
point where the film begins to appear very clear). If the melt line is
AT OR ABOVE
the point where the
film and heat roller meet, the selected
SPEED IS OK
. If the melt line shifts
BELOW
the film and heat
roller contact point,
DECREASE SPEED
or stop momentarily until the melt line moves up.
DO NOT
STOP
machine while documents are passing through the heat rollers.
IN THE EVENT OF A WRAP-UP
Cut the top and bottom film webs. Be sure to
HOLD DOWN
the
REVERSE BUTTON
while pulling
the wrapped film from the pull roll.
