PRE-INSTALLATION
Before a 1264WF/1244WF Laminator can be installed,
ensure the following requirements are met:
1.
Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the
laminator to be moved to the installation site?
2.
Is there ample room for the laminator?
A work area must be established that allows for
operation in both the front and rear of the
laminator and provides space for efficient
material flow.
3.
Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?
The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor
free environment to operate properly.
Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat
or cold. Avoid locating the laminator in the
direct path of forced, heated or cooled air.
CAUTION: Air flow can cause uneven
heating / cooling of the rollers and result in
poor output quality.
4.
Have you contacted a certified electrician to wire
the receptacle and ensure that adequate power is
being supplied, having the appropriate capacity,
over current protection and safety lockouts
available?
GBC 1264 WF/1244 WF Requires:
230V at 60Hz with 30 amps single phase.
1264WF: Nema 6-30P 30A 230V Receptacle.
1244WF: Nema 6-20P 20A 230V Receptacle.
The machines are supplied with Male Plugs.
INSTALLATION
1.
Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the delivering carrier.
2.
With assistance, carefully roll the laminator into position over flat and even surfaces.
3.
The laminator should be positioned to allow exiting film to flow freely to the floor or a work table. Accumulation of
laminate immediately behind the laminator as it exits the equipment may cause the film to wrap around the pull rollers,
resulting in a “jammed” condition.
4.
Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or cold. Avoid locating the laminator in the direct path of forced,
heated or cooled air.
5.
Once the laminator has been properly positioned, lock the castors in place. Locking the castors prevent the machine
from rolling during set up, operation or servicing.
6.
Connect the attachment plug provided with the laminator to a suitably grounded outlet. Avoid connecting other
equipment to the same branch circuit to which the laminator is connected, as this may result in nuisance tripping of
circuit breakers or blowing fuses.
Note:
Machine must be leveled to ensure best performance. Level the machine by lowering both the main and pull rolls.
Lay a level on top of the main and pull rolls. Then, check level from main roll to pull roll on right and left side of the
roll. Finally, check by placing the level diagonally across lower main to lower pull rolls.
