F-36 PRO Laminator Operation Manual	Safety

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR F-36 PRO LAMINATOR UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY!

Your safety, as well as the safety of others, is important to GBC Pro-Tech. This section contains important safety information.

The following symbols are used throughout this man- ual to indicate warnings and cautions.

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury, or alerts against unsafe practices, or alerts against actions which could damage the product.

The F-36 PRO Laminator has been designed with safety as a primary consideration. However, you must become thoroughly familiar with the controls, proper operation, proper service procedures, and safety fea- tures of the laminator before using or servicing the unit.

GBC Pro-Tech laminators are powerful machines that are designed to mount, laminate and encapsulate. The forces required to accomplish these tasks can vary from negligible to very large.

The spring system used to provide downward pressure on the top roll is capable of producing forces greater than 1000 pounds (454kg). This force is applied to any object presented in the opening (called the nip) between the two rolls.

In addition, the laminating rolls of the F-36 PRO Lami- nator can reach temperatures of over 200°F (100°C). At these temperatures there is a danger of a severe burn if the rolls are touched during set-up, operation or ser- vicing.

An important feature of the laminator is the guard that stops the machine when opened. However, this system is overridden if you use the footswitch.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when operating the laminator with the footswitch. The guard is overridden and your fingers can get caught in the nip. You can be crushed or burned.

The F-36 PRO Laminator has a steel cabinet that is bolted closed to isolate the electrical and drive system components for the safety of the operator. Only a quali- fied service technician should open these cabinets.

The laminator is equipped with two emergency stop buttons located on the top of either side of the lamina- tor. Either of these, if engaged, stops the laminator. To continue operation both emergency stop buttons must be in the up position.
