WARNING: TO GUARD AGAINST INJURY, THE
FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED IN THE INSTALLATION AND USE
OF THE LAMINATOR.

General

Keep hands, long hair, loose clothing, and articles such as
necklaces or ties away from the front of the heat and pull
rollers to avoid entanglement and entrapment.

The heat rollers can reach temperatures over 300˚F (150°C).
Avoid contact with the heat rollers during operation or shortly
after power has been removed from the laminator.

Keep hands and fingers away from the path of the sharp
film cutter blade located at the film exit.

Do not use the laminator for other than its intended
purpose.

Avoid moving the laminator on uneven floor surfaces. Never
tilt the laminator.

damaged.

- Liquid has been spilled into the laminator.

- The laminator is malfunctioning after being mishan­dled.

instructions.

Do not defeat or remove electrical and mechanical safety
equipment such as interlocks, shields and guards.

Do not insert objects unsuitable for lamination or expose
the equipment to liquids.

Electrical

The laminator should be connected only to a source of power
as indicated in these instructions and on the serial plate

Pre- Installation

Before a Talon 44/64 Laminator can be installed, ensure
the following requirements are met;

1. Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the lami
nator to be moved to the installation site?

2. Is there ample room for the laminator?

– A work area must be established that allows for opera-

tion in both the front and rear of the laminator and
provides space for efficient material flow. (Figure 3)

3. Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?

– The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor free

environment to operate properly.

– Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or

cold. Avoid locating the laminator in the direct path of
forced, heated or cooled air.

CAUTION

: Air flow can cause uneven heating/ cooling of

the rollers and result in poor output quality.

4. Have you contacted a certified electrician to wire the
receptacle and ensure that adequate power is being
supplied, having the appropriate capacity, over current
protection and safety lockouts available?
