GBC 3064WF Operation Manual

PRE-INSTALLATION

Before a 3064 Laminator can be installed, ensure the

following requirements are met:

1. Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the

laminator to be moved to the installation site?

2. Is there ample room for the laminator?

• A work area must be established that allows for

operation in both the front and rear of the

laminator and provides space for efficient

material flow.

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?

GBC 3064 WF Requires:

• 220V at 60Hz with 32 amps single phase.

• Nema 6-50 R 50 A 250 V Receptacle

This Machine is supplied with a Nema 6-50 male

Plug

INSTALLATION

1. Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the delivering carrier.

2. With assistance, carefully roll the laminator into position over flat and even surfaces.

3. The laminator should be positioned to allow exiting film to flow freely to the floor or a work table. Accumulation of

laminate immediately behind the laminator as it exits the equipment may cause the film to wrap around the pull rollers,

resulting in a “jammed” condition.

4. Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or cold. Avoid locating the laminator in the direct path of forced,

heated or cooled air.

5. Once the laminator has been properly positioned, lock the castors in place. Locking the castors prevent the machine

from rolling during set up, operation or servicing.

6. Connect the attachment plug provided with the laminator to a suitably grounded outlet. Avoid connecting other

equipment to the same branch circuit to which the laminator is connected, as this may result in nuisance tripping of

circuit breakers or blowing fuses.

Note: Machine must be leveled to ensure best performance. Level the machine by lowering both the main and pull rolls.

Lay A level on top of the main and pull rolls. Then, check level from main roll to pull roll on right and left side of the

roll. Finally, check by placing the level diagonally across lower main to lower pull rolls.

Film Loading & Threading

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.

CAUTION:

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 its core.

The adhesive side of the film is on the inner side of

the web (Fig. 17A & B). 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 appearance 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 rear of the laminator.

Do not introduce any additional items into the

laminator when the warning label is visible.

To load a roll of film: (Fig. 18)

1. Pull the swing out shaft clevis pin up.

2. Swing shaft outward.

3. Slide the roll of film onto the film shaft ensuring

Adhesive side is out.

4. Push the film shaft back into the film shaft

Support saddle.

5. Push the clevis pin down.

6. Center the roll of film.

Method for Tacking New Film to Existing Film

The following describes a method for loading film

whereby the existing film present on the heat

rollers may be used in place of the threading card

to draw the new film through the laminator. The

adhesive of the existing film must be tacky or

liquefied. Leading edges of the new film will be

overlapped onto the tacky adhesive of the old film.

The existing film and the new film will be pulled

through the laminator together.

CAUTION: Do not cut yourself

CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the

rollers!

1. Cut (1) remaining top film web between the

idler bar and heat roller. Cut (2) the film web

between the lower film supply and the idler

bar (Fig. 27).

2. Tilt the feed table down.

3. Do not allow the adhesive side of the film to

contact the heat or pull rollers. Liquefied or

tacky adhesive deposited on heat rollers will

require the rollers to be cleaned per the section

tilted “MAINTENANCE “.

4. Replace both the top and bottom rolls of film

with new rolls. Ensure the adhesive side is

facing out.

5. Pull the film around the idler bars, with the

exception of PSA mounting adhesives without

a release liner.

6. Tack the new film to the existing film on the

heat rollers. For PSA film, attach the release

liner to the rewind tube

7. Use the footswitch to advance the film into the

heat roller nip.

8. Observe the film being pulled through the

laminator to assure that the remaining existing

film and the new films are advancing

concurrently. Any separation between the

films will require stopping the motor

immediately and the situation corrected.

9. Press “STOP” ( ) once the newly threaded

film has completely exited the pull rollers.
