Safety Statements
T M
The ProSeal laminators have been designed with operator safety as a primary objective; however,
operators must be familiar with the controls, as well as the operation before using the unit.
The electrical and drive-system components are isolated from contact with the operator by enclosing
them within plastic end covers that are bolted on. Only qualified service technicians should remove
these protective covers after power to the machine is removed including disconnecting the power
cord.
The heated top roller can reach temperatures of 160C (320°F). For operator safety, a protective heat-
shield is mounted over the top roller, and attached to the top aluminum extrusion. Adequate ventilation
is guaranteed; because of this, the outside temperature of the extrusion will never exceed 45°C
(113°F).
Only qualified service technicians should remove the top extrusion in order to clean
the rollers if necessary.
Safety Features
The material inlet opening has a height that is in accordance with EN294 clause 4.5.2; the IEC1032
test finger cannot enter this opening.
The heating system is provided with an over-temperature device, which will shut off the top roller-
heating element once a heating system failure occurs.
Caution
Everyone working around the laminator must avoid wearing loose fitting clothing
(ties!) or dangling jewelry, which could catch in the laminator rollers.
Technical Service hazards
Fire hazard – The laminator contains a heated roller which reaches temperatures of 160°C
(320° F). There is a danger of severe burns if the heated roller is touched during servicing.
Mechanical hazard – Failure to use caution near exposed rollers could result in physical
injury.
