Note
Note: As the diameter of the
¿
lm roll decreases, tension should be reduced.
To increase tension, turn the adjusting knob clockwise. To decrease tension, turn the knob counterclock-
wise. If the tension is not equal top and bottom, the laminated product will curl. If the material curls up
up as
it comes out of the machine, the top roll is probably tighter than the bottom. If it curls down
down, the bottom
roll is probably tighter.
Note
Note: Make sure the black disks are
À
at against the sidepanel. They should be rotating, both top and bot-
tom, while
¿
lm is feeding.

A. Care and Cleaning
In the normal course of operating the Minikote EZ, dirt and adhesive will accumulate on the heat shoes
and rubber rollers (Laminating produces static electricity which attracts airborne dust and dirt). Regular
inspection and cleaning will assure that this does not become a problem.
Never
Never use hard, sharp, or abrasive items to clean the heat shoes. The shoes are coated with a non-stick
surface that could easily be damaged. Likewise, do not use sharp metallic objects or steel wool to clean
the rubber rollers. Any scratches, indentations, or marks left on the rollers will appear on the laminated
product.
To clean the shoes and rollers, use a clean, lint-free cloth. Some suggested solvents are Poly-Off®, rub-
bing alcohol(isopropyl),
¿
ngernail polish remover(with acetone), and Goof-Off® spray.
