PRE-INSTALLATION
Before a Talon 44/ 64 Laminator
can be installed, ensure the
following requirements are met;
1. Are door ways 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. (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?
Talon 44 requires:
–220V at 60hz with 14.3 amp
service. Use a Nema 6-20R.
Talon 64 requires:
–220V at 60hz with 15 amp
service. Use a Nema 6-20R.

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 (Figure 4). Accumulation of
laminate immediately behind the
laminator as it exits the equip-
ment 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. The heaters must be installed by
a GBC qualified service
technician. Refer to your
Warranty section for explanation
of “Qualified”.
7. 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.
