WARNING
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,
electrocuted or cause a fire. Use only a damp
cloth for cleaning the cabinet.
Exercise care when cleaning the rolls with 80%
isopropyl alcohol:
Use only in a well ventilated area.
Wear rubber gloves.
Use only on cool rolls.
Cleaning heated rolls can ignite the fumes.
Use only 80% isopropyl alcohol or a rubber
cement eraser to clean the laminating rolls.
Harsh chemicals like toluene, acetone or MEK
destroy the silicone covering of the rolls.
Raise the upper main roll when the laminator is
not in operation. Prolonged contact can damage
the rolls.
Excess pressure can damage the laminating rolls.
Always select the minimum roll pressure
necessary to complete the task.
If silicone adhesive contacts the upper or lower
roll, remove it IMMEDIATELY using 80%
isopropyl alcohol. It can harden within an hour
and ruin the roll.
The operating environment must be free of dust,
flammable liquids and vapors. You can be
injured by inhaling chemical vapors. Vapor build
up or stored flammable liquids can cause a fire.
Excessive dust can damage the laminator.
Do not use a knife or other sharp instrument
during installation or while servicing the
laminator. You can cause irreparable damage to
the rolls.
Do not attempt to move the laminator across
anything other than a flat, level surface without
trained and qualified riggers. You can be crushed
or seriously injured.
The F-36 PRO Laminator is a large and heavy
piece of equipment. It is necessary to employ
LICENSED RIGGERS ONLY to move the
machine. The laminator is not designed to be
tipped up or sideways in any way. Such action
disturbs the exact alignment of the rolling parts
of the machine and requires extensive
realignment. GBC Pro-Tech’s warranty does not
cover malfunction of the equipment due to
mishandling and/or tipping.
GBC Pro-Tech bears no responsibility for
personal injury or damage due to moving the
laminator improperly.
