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 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 rollers.
3. Carefully remove the feed table to access the rollers. The feed table 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 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.
Removing Wrap-A-Rounds:
Build-up on the rollers may cause a film wrap-around, especially when using thin film gauges.
Follow the procedure below to remove wrap-a-rounds.
1. Turn the HEATED ROLLERS OFF. Allow the laminator to cool.
2. Cut the film where it comes off the top and bottom supply rolls.
3. Raise the roller pressure adjustment arms to the open position and insert pins on the
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.
If there is a wrap-around on the lower roller, of if there is a run-away heat condition;
please check the sensor on the bottom roller to ensure it is touching the roller. Incorrect
positioning of the sensor can result in a false roller temperature reading and subsequent
roller damage.
