1.2 Safety features
The
GBC Films Group 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 motorized main roller lift mechanism used to provide downward pressure on the upper main roller is capable of producing forces greater than 400 pounds. This force is applied to any object presented in the opening ( called the nip ) between the two rollers.
Use care in lowering the upper laminating roller and know how to react quickly in an emergency. The main laminator roll up / down control is located on the right side of the machine within the front control panel. The GAP up / down arrows control the motion of the upper laminating roller. Before pressing GAP down arrow, ensure that nothing is in the nip area.
In addition, the main laminating rollers of the F- 160CE can reach temperatures of over 200oF ( 100oC ).

At these temperatures there is a danger of severe burn if the rolls are touched during setup, operation or servicing.
