Safety

1.2 Safety precautions

The Falcon 60 C 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.
The manual 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. Before turning
the crank handle to set the GAP down, ensure that nothing
is in the nip area.
Installation should be performed by a qualified
technician to ensure optimal operation and function of
your new laminator.
