5.2 Emergency
The F-160 CE 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 Films Group 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 motorized main roller lift mechanism used to
provide downward pressure on the upper main roller is
capable of producing forces greater than 400
pounds.
W A R N I N G
This force is applied to any object presented
in the opening ( called the nip ) between
the two rollers.
Use care in lowering the upper laminating roller
and know how to react quickly in an emergency. The
main laminator roll up / down control is located on the
right side of the machine within the front control panel.
The GAP up / down arrows control the motion of the
upper laminating roller. Before pressing GAP down
arrow, ensure the nip area is clear.
