Safety Statements
The SEAL 44 Ultra laminator has been designed with operator safety as a primary objective; however,
operators must be familiar with the controls, as well as the operation before using the unit.
The electrical and drive-system components are isolated from contact with the operator by enclosing
them within plastic end covers that are bolted on. Only qualified service technicians should remove
these protective covers after power to the machine is removed including disconnecting the power
cord.
Only qualified service technicians should remove covers for service purposes
Safety Features
The heating system is provided with an over-temperature device, which will shut off the top roller-
heating element once a heating system failure occurs.
The rotation of the rollers will be switched off automatically when the light beam of the self-checking
photoelectric guard is interrupted. For example, if a panel is too thick relative to the roller nip setting,
or if a person’s hands or fingers approach the roller nip.
Once the roller rotation has been stopped and the photoelectric guard has been cleared, a deliberate
start signal has to be given in order to start the roller rotation again.
The machine has two emergency stop buttons that may be pressed in dangerous situations. The
rotation of the rollers will be stopped immediately. After releasing these buttons, a deliberate start
signal has to be given in order to start the roller rotation again.
General Hazards
Danger of getting injured by hot parts
Be careful with parts marked with this symbol, to avoid burns. The heated top roller may
have a surface temperature of 135°C (275°F).
Do not touch the roller. Even after the machine has been switched off, the roller remains
hot for a long time.
Danger of getting injured by rotating parts
Everyone working around the laminator must avoid wearing loose fitting clothing (ties!) or
dangling jewelry, which could catch in the laminator rollers.
Failure to use caution near exposed rollers could result in physical injury.
