unstable surface may cause the laminator to fall resulting in serious
bodily injury. Avoid quick stops, excessive force and uneven floor
surfaces when moving the laminator on a cart or stand.
• Do not defeat or remove electrical and mechanical safety
equipment such as interlocks, shields and guards.
• Do not insert objects unsuitable for lamination.
• Do not expose the laminator to liquids.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service or repair the laminator.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
personal injury or death.
Disconnect the plug from the receptacle and contact GBC Technical
Service when one or more of the following has occurred.
• The power supply cord or attachment plug is damaged.
• Liquid has been spilled into the laminator.
• The laminator is malfunctioning after being mishandled.

Installation
• Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of
the delivering carrier.
• Place the laminator on a stable flat surface capable of supporting
68kg.
• The surface should be at least 76cm high to assure comfortable
positioning during operation. All four rubber feet should be on the
supporting surface.
• Connect power cord to an appropriate power source. Avoid
connecting other equipment to the same branch circuit to which the
laminator is connected as this may cause nuisance tripping of the
circuit breaker or blown fuses.
• The laminator should be postioned to allow exiting film to drop
freely to the floor. Accumulation of laminate as it exits the laminator
may cause film to wrap around the rollers, causing a jammed
condition.
• Avoid placing laminator near sources of heat or cold. Avoid locating
the laminator in the direct path of forced, heated or cooled air.
