SAFETY FEATURES
10
The SEAL Image 6500 Laminator is designed
with safety and protective devices with the user’s
safety of utmost consideration. However, following
safe operating guidelines is still the responsibility of
the operator.
Hand-Operated Emergency Stop Buttons:
Emergency Stop buttons are located on each side of the
cabinets for easy access. Once pressed, they immediately
cease the laminator’s operation and raise the rollers. Use
these only in the case of an emergency or you may damage
an image during a process.
NOTE: Once pressed, these buttons lock and must be
turned clockwise to reset.
After resetting the Emergency Stop button, you must turn
the heaters back on (if being used) and push one of the
Motor Direction switches to begin processing again.
Foot-Operated Emergency Tap Switches:
Located on both sides of the laminator, pressing on these
tap switches will immediately cease the laminator’s opera-
tion and raise the rollers.
Covered Foot Switches:
One on each side of the laminator allows for complete user
control when initially feeding an image into the nip or for
feeding a delicate image through the rollers. The cover pre-
vents accidentally stepping on the foot switch and starting
the laminator.
WARNING! The foot switch overrides the photoelectric
eyes. When the photoelectric eye is blocked, the lamina-
tor runs in slow mode at a speed of 2.0 ft. (0.6m) per
minute. A BUZZER sounds if an operator blocks a
photoelectric eye, warning of proximity to the nip. Use
care to keep hands clear of the rollers while using the
foot switch to prevent possible injury.
Photoelectric Safety Eyes:
A light beam path set directly in front and back of the
laminating roller openings prevents foreign objects from
passing between the rollers. (The eyes are set for use at the
factory and checked by the service representative.)
Locking Cabinets:
The cabinets that house the inner workings of the lamina-
tor include locks that maintenance or safety personnel can
open only with the supplied keys.
WARNING! Use of the inside of the cabinets for storage
may cause possible personal injury and/or damage to
the inner workings and will void the warranty.
Door Interlock
Located on the left-side cabinet (facing front of lamina-
tor), it automatically shuts the laminator power off when
the door interlock switch is turned to the OFF position.
WARNING! For any servicing, ALWAYS turn the
door interlock switch to the OFF position and the
main power circuit breaker off before opening the
side cabinets.
