General safeguards
• Use this laminator only for its intended purposes as according to the
specifications outlined in the operating instructions.
• Keep hands, long hair, loose clothing and articles such as necklaces
or ties away from the front of the pull rollers to avoid entanglement
and entrapment.
• Avoid contact with the heat shoes during operation or shortly after
the laminator has been turned off. The heat shoes can reach
temperatures in excess of 148.9ºC.
• Keep hands and fingers away from the path of the sharp film cutter
blade located at the film exit.
• Do not place the laminator on an unstable cart, stand or table. An
unstable surface may cause the laminator to fall resulting in serious
bodily injury. Avoid quick stops, excessive force and uneven floor
surfaces when moving the laminator on a cart or stand.
• Do not defeat or remove electrical and mechanical safety equipment
such as interlocks, shields and guards.
• Do not insert objects unsuitable for lamination.
• Do not expose laminator to liquids.
Installation
• Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the
delivering carrier.
• Place the laminator on a stable flat surface capable of supporting
20kgs. The surface should be at least 76.2cm high to assure
comfortable positioning during operation. All four rubber feet should
be on the supporting surface.
• Connect power cord to an appropriate power source. Avoid
connecting other equipment to the same branch circuit to which the
laminator is connected as this may cause nuisance tripping of the
circuit breaker or blown fuses.
• The laminator should be positioned to allow exiting film to drop freely
to the floor. Accumulation of laminate as it exits the laminator may
cause film to wrap around the rollers, causing a jammed condition.
• Avoid placing laminator near sources of heat or cold. Avoid locating
the laminator in the direct path of forced, heated or cooled air.
Electrical safeguards
• This laminator must be connected to a supply voltage corresponding
to the electrical rating as indicated on the serial plate located on the
rear of the machine.
• Unplug the laminator before moving it, or when it is not in use for an
extended period of time.
• Do not operate the laminator with a damaged power supply cord or
plug.
• Do not overload electrical outlets as this can result in fire or shock.
• Do not alter the attachment plug. This plug is configured for the
appropriate electrical supply.
• The unit is intended for indoor use only.
CAUTION:
The receptacle must be located near the equipment
and easily accessible. Do not use an extension cord.
• Disconnect the attachment plug from the receptacle to which it is
connected and keep the power supply cord in your possession while
moving the laminator.
• Do not operate the laminator with a damaged power supply cord or
attachment plug, upon occurrence of a malfunction, or after
laminator has been damaged. Contact an authorised GBC service
representative for assistance.
