MAINTENANCE
Caring For The GBC
GBC offers Cleaning kits as well as Extended Maintenance Agreements.
Contact your local GBC Service Representative or your dealer/distributor for additional information. The only maintenance required by the operator is to periodically clean the heat rollers and schedule semi annual maintenance checks. The following procedure will help keep the heat rollers free of adhesive that has been deposited along the edge of the laminating film. Proper alignment of the rolls of film reduces the amount of “squeeze out”.
WARNING: Do not attempt to laminate adhesives marked “Flammable”.
Do not laminate glitter and/ or metallic items. Damage to the rollers may result.
WARNING: Do not apply any cleaning fluids or solvents to the rollers. Some solvents and fluids could ignite on heated rollers.
Never clean rollers with sharp or pointed objects.
Hardened adhesive deposits on the rollers can cause damage to the rollers. Rotate the rollers at the lowest speed setting on the control panel.
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED WHILE THE LAMINATOR IS HOT. USE EXTREME CAUTION.
1.Remove the film from the laminator following the Procedure outlined in steps 1 through 6 of the section entitled TO UNWEB THE LAMINATOR.
2.Preheat the laminator until the “READY” indicator illuminates.
3.Tilt the feed table.
4.Rub the top and bottom heat rollers with a 3M™
5.Use the footswitch to rotate the lower heat/ pull roller to an unclean portion. The upper heat/ pull rollers are free spinning. Continue this process until the complete surfaces of both rollers are clean.
6.Refer to the beginning of the section entitled OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS to web your laminator.
NOTE: Do not use metal scouring pads to clean the rollers.
