1.2 Safety precautions
DANGER
At these temperatures there is a danger of
severe burn if the rolls are touched during
The Falcon 60 H 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.
The word qualified is defined below;
Qualified;
setup, operation or servicing.
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.
WARNING
Keep h an d s an d fingers clear of the
laminator roller nip when adjusting nip.
You can be CRUSHED or BURNED!
