GBC Pro-Tech is committed to a program of ongoing 
product improvement. As a result, we are providing 
these instructions so that you can insure that your new 
F-60+ Laminator is properly and securely unpacked, 
moved and installed. 

Before a F-60+ Laminator can be installed, there are a 
few requirements that must be met. Make certain that 
each of the requirements listed in the following prein-
stallation checklist are met before beginning installa-
tion.

 CAUTION

3UHLQVWDOODWLRQ &KHFNOLVW

Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the 
laminator to be moved to the installation site?

Is there ample room for the laminator?
A work area must be established that allows for 
operation in both the front and the rear of the 
machine and provides space for efficient material 
flow. Figure 2-1 shows a typical machine area lay-
out.

Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?
The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor free 
environment to operate properly, such as an air 
conditioned office area with forced 10% make up 
air. However, the laminator must not be located 
where there is air blowing directly on it. Major 
fluctuation in temperature and humidity are to be 
avoided.

 WARNING

 CAUTION

Is there an appropriate power outlet available or 
has a certified electrician been contacted to wire 
the laminator directly?
The laminator requires 60A single phase, 220/230/
240 VAC service or, in Europe, 3 Phase, 240 VAC 
with 30 Amps per phase. See Figure 2-2 for alter-
native power hookup configurations.

 WARNING

 WARNING

 WARNING

 WARNING

Failure to follow the preinstallation checklist can 

result in damage to the laminator.

The operating environment must be free of dust, 

flammable liquids and vapors. You can be 

injured by inhaling chemical vapors. Vapor build 

up or stored flammable liquids can cause a fire. 

Excessive dust can damage the laminator.

Do not locate the laminator where air is blowing 

directly on the machine. The air flow can cool the 

rolls unevenly and result in poor quality output.

Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature of 

the ground plug on the laminator. You can be 

severely shocked, electrocuted or cause a fire. 

The three prong plug fits only into a grounding-

type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the 

plug into the existing outlet, contact a qualified 

electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

Do not use an extension cord on this laminator. 

You can be severely shocked, electrocuted or 

cause a fire. If you need a longer cable contact a 

qualified electrician.

Do not operate the laminator if the power cord is 
damaged or frayed. You can be severely shocked, 

electrocuted or cause a fire. Contact a qualified 

electrician to replace the cord.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. 
Do not locate the cord where people can walk on 

it. You or others can be severely shocked, 

electrocuted or cause a fire.
