1.6 SAFETY NOTICES – LAMINATING AND PRESSURE ROLLER ZONE
The operating laminating roller temperature, depending on the type of laminating film, is 210 to 300 °F
(100 to 150 °C). In order to maintain the machine function, it is not possible to cover all the zones near
the laminating and pressure rollers. This is very hazardous due to the high temperature and crush
hazard. Therefore the following precautions have to be followed strictly.
!
WARNING
Obey the following precautions. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury or damage the
machine.
•
Never touch the hot laminating roller.
•
Keep your hands and body away from the contact surface between the laminating roller and
pressure roller where there is a crush hazard.
•
When loading the first sheet of paper with film through the nip, keep your hands and fingers at
least 8 in. (200 mm) behind the nip point of the laminating and pressure rollers. Failure to do so
can cause severe injury.
•
Use the "SLOW FWD" or "SLOW REV" buttons for cleaning. Never clean the surface of the
rollers while the machine is in operation.
•
Wear tight fitting clothing while working near the laminating and pressure rollers. Loose clothing
can get caught in the moving rollers.
•
Do not use any objects for cleaning the rollers or removing the film residue while the machine is
in operation.
•
The Plexiglas cover above the laminating roller must be closed while the machine is in
operation. The cover cannot be dismantled or modified.
!
CAUTION
•
To clean the rollers, follow "Machine Cleaning" given in Section 1.10.
•
When the pressure roller is controlled to move up and down ("PRESSURE ROLL OPEN" and
"PRESURE ROLL CLOSE" buttons), do not approach or touch the levers of the pressure roller
near the pneumatic rollers and between the pressure roller lever and the cover of the screws
near the laminating roller on the operator's side.
•
If the Plexiglas cover of the laminating roller is opened, make sure it is fully opened so that the
flat spring secures it.
•
Before maintenance or adjustment, wait until the temperature on the roller surface drops below
100 °F (50 °C). To check it, do one of the following:
a. Use the temperature regulator display while the machine is in operation.
b. Use an external temperature contact measuring instrument.
c. Wait for 60 minutes after the roller heater is turned off.
Important
•
Do not put any objects on the Plexiglas cover, which could deform or damage it or block the
ventilation holes.
