❒Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the laminator to be moved to the installation site?

❒Is there ample room for the laminator?

A work area must be established that allows for operation in both the front and the rear of the machine and provides space for efficient material flow. Figure 2-1 shows a typical machine area layout.

❒Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?

The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor free environment to operate properly. It must not be located where there is air blowing directly on the machine.

WARNING

The operating environment must be free of dust, flammable liquids and vapors. You can be injured by inhaling chemical vapors. Vapor build up or stored flammable liquids can cause a fire. Excessive dust can damage the laminator.

CAUTION

Do not locate the laminator where air is

blowing directly on the machine. The air flow can cool the rolls unevenly and result in poor quality output.

❒Is there an appropriate power outlet available or has a certified electrician been contacted to wire the laminator directly?

The laminator requires 30A single phase service and a power receptacle that accepts a 30A 250V NEMA L6-30P plug.

WARNING

Do not attempt to defeat the grounding

feature of the ground plug on the laminator. You can be severely shocked, electrocuted or cause a fire. The three prong plug fits only into a grounding-type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the existing outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

WARNING

Do not use an extension cord on this

laminator. You can be severely shocked, electrocuted or cause a fire. If you need a longer cable contact a qualified electrician.

WARNING

Do not operate the laminator if the power cord is damaged or frayed. You can be severely shocked, electrocuted or cause a fire. Contact a qualified electrician to replace the cord.
