WARNING: If the breaker trips a second time after
being reset, contact GBC national Service or your
dealer/distributor for assistance.
L. CORE ADAPTERS: The film shaft holds the supply roll
and the adapters with locking collars hold the rolls of film
on the shaft, (Figure 4).
M. FILM WEB: Laminating film loaded Into the machine.
N. NIP POINT: The point at which the top and bottom
rollers come into contact. The Nip Point of the heat rollers
is the place at which the Items for lamination are intro­
duced into the lamlnator.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the lamlnator on (I) at the main power switch located
at the back of the machine (Figure 1).
2. CAUTION: Make sure safety shield and feed tray
, are in the proper position to operate the unit.
3. The lamlnator will automatically default to the 1.0 MIL
setting. If you are using 1.5 or 3.0 MIL film you must
manually press the 1.5 3.0 MIL button. The lamlnator
will set the speed and temperature for the respective
film and 20 lb. bond paper (copier paper). If you are
laminating heavier stock press SLOW to reduce the
speed for a quality lamination. If the item is lighter
increase the speed by pressing FAST. Adjusting the
speed control to too high a speed may cause the
WAIT E3 lamp to illuminate. You will have to slow the
laminator down in order to ensure proper lamination.
Refer to the speed Guide Chart, located on the top
right side cover or section SPEED GUIDE AND THE
ART OF LAMINATING, for speed settings on similar
material.
4. Do not begin laminating until the WAIT goes
out and the READY lamp illuminates. The normal
warm-up time is approximately 10 minutes.
5. Position the item(s) to be laminated on the Feed Table.
6. Press RUN. The rollers will begin to turn, wait for the
heat line to disappear then push the item(s) into the nip
point of the heat rollers. Additional items can be
laminated without stopping and starting the
laminator.
7. Should a jam (wrap up) occur, press STOP. Refer to
the section CLEARING A FILM JAM for specific
instructions.
8. Stop the laminator once all of the laminated items
completely exit the rear of the machine.
A CAUTION:r^Do not reach over the laminator to
operate the film cutter.
9. The Film Cutter may be used to separate the laminated
items from the film web. Position the cutter on either
side of the laminator, depress the cutter’s handle while
sliding the cutter across the film web.
10. Allow the laminator to remain powered if it is anticipated
that the machine will be used within a short period of
4
time. If the laminator is left for more than 90 minutes
without being used the
STANDBY button will illuminate.
After an additional 30 minutes of non-use the lamlnator
will shut off completely. The
POWER and STANDBY E3
lamps will remain illuminated. To reset the unit press
the STANDBY^! button.
The attached power cord can be disconnected from the
receptacle when the laminator will not be used for long
periods of time.
FEED TABLE REMOVAL
Refer to Figure 3 and follow the procedures to remove the
feed table:
1. Lift the safety shield to its full upright position.
2. Slide the Feed Table latch to the right.
3. Lift the table upwards and away from the laminator.
FILM LOADING & THREADING
Refer to Figure 5 or the film treading diagram on the feed
table of the laminator for Illustration of properly loaded film.
The top and bottom rolls of laminating film must be of the
same width and be present simultaneously. A small
amount of adhesive will “squeeze out” during lamination.
Hardened adhesive deposits can damage the heat rollers.
To avoid any damage rotate the rollers at slowest speed
when the WAITE3 lamp Is on. Refer to the section CAR­
ING FOR THE ULTIMA 65 LAMINATOR for Instructions
regarding removal of the accumulated adhesive.
Adhesive will deposit on the rollers If:
- Only one roll is used.
- Different widths of rolls are loaded together.
- Either roll is loaded adhesive side against a heat roller.
- One or both rolls of film are allowed to run completely off
the cores.
The adhesive side of the film is on the inner side of the
web (Figure 5). The shiny side of clear film must contact
the heat rollers. The dull side of the film contains the
adhesive. Use extreme caution when loading delustered
(matte) film as both sides appear dull.
Always change the top and bottom supply rolls at the
same time. Near the end of each roll of GBC laminating
film is a label stating “Warning-End of Roll.” The appear­
ance of this label on either the top or bottom roll requires
that new rolls of film be installed as soon as the item
presently being laminated completely exits the laminator.
Do not introduce any additional items Into the laminator
when the warning label is visible.
Method Using Film Threading Card
The following procedure uses the film threading card pro­
vided with new rolls of GBC film. The laminator should be
cool to the touch before proceeding.
1. Turn the main power switch on. If the laminator is
already hot turn the main power switch off (O) and
allow the unit to cool, then turn the machine back on (I).
Remove feed table.
2. Cut remaining top and bottom film webs between
supply rolls and heat rollers. Be careful not to cut the
heat rollers.
