Section 4 Installation
GBC Films Group is committed to a program of
ongoing product improvement. As a result, we are
providing these instructions so that you can insure that
your new Titan 1 10/ 165 Laminator is properly and securely
unpacked, moved, and installed.
Before a Titan 110/ 165 Laminator can be
installed, there are a few requirements that must be met.
Make certain that each of the requirements listed in the
following pre-installation checklist are met before beginning
installation.
Is the enviroment appropriate for the laminator?
The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor
free enviroment to operate properly . It must not
be located where there is air blowing directly on
the machine.
Have you contatced a certified electrician to install
a receptacle for the laminator and ensure that
adequate power is being supplied, having the the
appropriate capacity , over current protection and
safety lockouts are available?
WARNING
CAUTION
Failure to follow the pre-installation check
list can result in damage to the laminator.
4.1 Pre-installation
Are the doorways and hallways wide enough for
the the laminator to be moved to the installation
site?
Is there ample room for the laminator?
The operating environment must be free of
dust, flammable liquids and vapors. You can
be injured by inhaling chemical vapors.
WARNING
Vapor build up or stored flammable liquids
can cause a fire. Excessive dust can damage
the laminator.
A work area must be established that allows for
unrestricted movement around the laminator and
provides space for efficient material flow . Figure
4.1.4 and Figure 4.1.5 illustrates a typical machine
area layout.
© GBC Films Group November 2000
CAUTION
Do not locate the laminator where air is
blowing directly on the machine. The air
flow can cool the rollers unevenly and
result in poor quality output.

WARNING
The Titan 110/ 165 Laminator is a large and

5.2 Reacting to an emergency
The Titan 110/ 165 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.
Use care in lowering the top laminating roller
and know how to react quickly in an emergency . Before
lowering the roller, ensure the nip area is clear.
a) In the event of an emergency , press an
E-STOP.
Press down
INFORMATION
One E-STOP is located on the left cabinet from
the front operating position and the second is located
above the main power ON/ OFF . Refer to Figure 5.2.1

5.3 Safety shield
WARNING
Caution should always be exercised
when using the laminator with
the safety shields removed.
You can be seriously HURT or INJURED!
INFORMATION
The Temperature control panel settings
are not affected when an E-STOP
has been pushed.
e) Ensure that the front safety shield is located
in the fully closed position.
DANGER
At no time should you attempt to over ride
any of the safety latches on the laminator.
INFORMATION
All E-STOPS must be unlatched, safety
shield fully closed and feed table properly
installed before operating.
INFORMATION
Power to the motor is removed when
the safety shield is not in the fully
locked position.
© GBC Films Group November 2000
The only time the safety shield should be
removed is when you are webbing the laminator. At
no time should you operate your laminator with the
safety shield removed.

5.6 Film loading
The Titan 110/ 165 can accommodate Poly-
In or Poly-Out films. Each film requires a different
loading procedure. Refer to Section 6 Applications
for webbing methods. With regards to webbing
methods, both require the adhesive side of the film to
face away from the heating components.

Section 6 Applications
The Titan 1 10/ 165 can accommodate Poly-in or
Poly-out films. Poly-out means the adhesive is on the
outside of the roll. Each film requires a slightly different
loading procedure. Refer to W eb diagrams at the end of
this section.
The shiny side of clear film must contact the heating
components with the dull sides ( adhesive side ) facing
out. Use caution when loading matte or delustered film
since both sides appear dull.
The top and bottom rolls of laminating film must
be of the same width and be present simultaneously .
6.1 Pressure Sensitive
Follow the procedure below to web the Titan 1 10/
165 for pressure sensitive laminate and pressure sensitive
mount adhesive.
Materials need
• 1 roll of pressure sensitive laminate
( Same width as mount adhesive )
• 1 roll of pressure sensitive mount adhesive

WARNING
Do not wear ties, loose fit clothing or
dangling jewelry while operating or
servicing the laminator. These items can get
caught in the nip and choke you or you can
be crushed or burned.
The procedures and parameters described
in this section are reference points only . Parameters
will vary with regards to laminate thickness, laminate
widths, laminate types, print types, ink or toner types,
environment conditions and operator experience.
