    OPERATING THE ORCA 80-99 LAMINATOR! FOR YOUR SAFETY: Your safety as well as the safety of others is important to GBC Pro-Tech. In this instruction and on the product are important safety messages. Read these messages carefully. 1. Read all these instructions.
  • Page 7 Before turning this switch to the DOWN position, assure that nothing is in the nip area. Most GBC Pro-Tech machines are designed to heat the lamination rollers. Temperatures can be set to over 200 degrees F (100 degrees C). Thus there is a danger of a severe burn if the rollers are touched during set-up or operation.
  • Page 8: Section 2: Warranty

GBC Pro-Tech warrants the equipment sold is free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery to the customer. This warranty is the only warranty made by Pro-Tech and can not be modified or amended.
