Cleaning Rubber Rollers:
Excessive build-up of adhesive on the rollers may cause poor lamination quality and erratic film movement.
Use the following procedure to remove any adhesive from the laminating rollers.
1. Turn the HEATED ROLLERS and TOP & BOTTOM SHOES OFF and
allow the laminator to cool
.
2. Cut the film where it comes off the top and bottom supply rolls. Pull any film out of the laminator and away
from the heat shoes.
3. Carefully remove the feed table and heat shoes to access the rollers. The feed table is heavy and
removing it exposes hot and moving parts.
4. Disconnect the power supply.
5. Clean the exposed section of the rollers with a soft cloth dampened with an appropriate cleaning solution
such as isopropyl or denatured alcohol.
6. Reconnect the power supply and turn the FORWARD/REVERSE switch to the FORWARD position.
Turn the MOTOR switch to the ON position momentarily to expose a new section of the rollers.
7. Repeat steps 3-5 until the rollers are thoroughly clean.
8. Allow the rollers to dry completely before rethreading the laminating film.
Cleaning Heat Shoes:
Clean the heat shoes periodically to avoid adhesive build-up. Build-up can inhibit the film from moving over
the shoes smoothly. Use the following procedure to clean the heat shoes.
1. Turn the HEATED ROLLERS and TOP & BOTTOM SHOES OFF and
allow the laminator to cool
.
2. Cut the film where it comes off the top and bottom supply rolls. Pull any film out of the laminator and away
from the heat shoes.
3. Disconnect the power supply.
4. Open the safety shield and carefully remove the feed table to expose the heat shoes. The feed table is
heavy and removing it exposes hot and moving parts.
5. Clean the heat shoes with a clean, soft cloth dampened with an appropriate cleaning solution such as
isopropyl or denatured alcohol. Since the heat shoe is hard anodized you can use a scrub pad or very fine
steel wool.
6. Allow the heat shoes to dry completely before rethreading the laminating film.
Removing Wrap-Arounds:
Build-up on the rollers and heat shoes may cause a film wrap-around, especially when using thin film gauges.
Follow the procedure below to remove wrap-arounds.
1. Turn the HEATED ROLLERS and the TOP & BOTTOM SHOES OFF. Allow the laminator to cool.
2. Cut the film where it comes off the top and bottom supply rolls.
3. Open the ROLLER RELEASE handle onthe side of the laminator and pull the film out of the unit that has
become wrapped around the rollers.
4. If you have a severe wrap-around, it may be necessary to use the REVERSE feature to back the film
out. Be sure to pull the film away from the laminator.
