Maintenance

Caring For The GBC Falcon 60+ (-1)

Laminator

GBC offers Cleaning kits as well as Extended
Maintenance Agreements.
Contact your local GBC Service Representative or
your dealer/distributor for additional information.
The only maintenance required by the operator is to
periodically clean the heat rollers and schedule semi
annual maintenance checks.
The following procedure will help keep the heat
rollers free of adhesive that has been deposited
along the edge of the laminating film. Proper
alignment of the rolls of film reduces the amount of
“squeeze out”.

WARNING: Do not attempt to laminate
adhesives marked “Flammable”.

•  Do not laminate glitter and/ or metallic items.
Damage to the rollers may result.

WARNING: Do not apply any cleaning fluids
or solvents to the rollers. Some solvents and
fluids could ignite on heated rollers.

•  Never clean rollers with sharp or pointed objects.
•  Hardened adhesive deposits on the rollers can
cause damage to the rollers. Rotate the rollers at the
lowest speed setting on the control panel.

CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE
IS PERFORMED WHILE THE LAMINATOR
IS HOT. USE EXTREME CAUTION.

1. Remove the film from the laminator following the
procedure outlined in steps 1 through 6 of the
section entitled TO UNWEB THE LAMINATOR.
2. 
Preheat the laminator until the “READY” indicator
illuminates.
3. Remove the safety shield and tilt the feed table.
4. Rub the top and bottom heat rollers with a 3M™
Scotch-Brite™ pad .

DO NOT USE METAL

SCOURING PADS! 
5. 
Use the footswitch to rotate the lower heat/ pull
roller to an unclean portion. The upper heat/ pull
roller are free spinning. Continue this process until
the complete surface of both rollers are clean.
6. Refer to the beginning of the section entitled
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

to web your

laminator.
*NOTE: Do not use metal scouring pads to clean
the rollers.
