7.0 Maintenance
GBC Films Group laminators require minimal maintenance.
However, regular maintenance is essential to keep any
piece of precision machinery at peak performance. A
maintenance schedule and a section of procedures are
included in this section.
WARNING: Do not wear ties, loose fitting clothes
or dangling jewelry while operating or servicing the
laminator. These items can get caught in the nip and
choke you or you can be crushed or burned.
INFORMATION: Improper maintenance can result
in poor output quality.
GBC offers Cleaning kits ( P/N 1711515 ) as well as
Extended Maintenance Agreements.
The only maintenance required by the operator is to
maintain clean and adhesive free nip rollers and overall
cleanliness of the laminator itself.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD: Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners on the laminator. Do not spill liquid
of any kind on the laminator. You can be severely
shocked, killed or cause a fire. Use only a damp cloth
for cleaning unless other wise specified.
7.1 Cabinets, cover and stand
ELECTRICAL HAZARD: Remove power from the
laminator before cleaning. You can be severely
shocked, killed or cause a fire.
1. Use a damp ( use water only to dampen the cloth )
white terry cloth towel to wipe dust from the cabinets,
cover and stand.
7.2 Rollers
CAUTION: Never clean the rollers with sharp or
pointed objects. You may put irreparable cuts into
the rollers.
INFORMATION: Power is required to rotate the
rollers which means heat will be present as well.
7.2.1 Stains/ dust on rollers
CAUTION: The following procedure is performed
while the laminator is HOT! Use extreme caution!
