The F-60 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 features of the laminator before using or servicing the unit.

GBC Pro-Tech F-60 Laminator is a powerful machine that is designed to mount, laminate and encapsulate. The forces required to accomplish these tasks can vary from negligible to very large.

In addition, the laminating roll of the F-60 can reach temperatures of 270 °F (132 °C). At these temperatures there is a danger of a severe burn if the roll is touched during set-up, operation or servicing.

Safety is an important feature of the F-60 Laminator. It has emergency stop buttons and a mechanical guard system on the infeed. In addition, the pull rolls are con- tained in an enclosure to prevent injury.

The laminator is equipped with four emergency stop buttons located on the top front and back of either side of the laminator. Any of these, if engaged, stops the laminator. To continue operation all emergency stop buttons must be in the up position and you must press the reset button above the fuse panel on the back of the laminator (see Figure 3-2). The laminator is also equipped with a power lockout (see Figure 3-3) which stops power to the machine.
