ACTION:
Adjust tension. If laminated item curls upwards, reduce top roller
tension. If item curls downward, reduce bottom roller tension.
Clean heat shoes of residual adhesive as it may be causing
“drag” on one side. Refer to MAINTENANCE section for cleaning
instructions.
MAINTENANCE
This section contains instructions for cleaning and maintaining your laminator. These procedures
should be performed at regular intervals to help ensure the trouble-free operation of your
laminator.
Caution:
Before performing any maintenance on your laminator first disconnect
the power supply. Hazardous voltages are present when the side
panels are removed.
Cleaning the Heat Shoes and Laminating Rollers...
The Heat Shoes and Laminating Rollers should be cleaned of any residual adhesive whenever
the film does not pass smoothly over their surfaces.
Note:
The surface of the Heat Shoes is Teflon® coated and must only be
cleaned using a soft cloth. They can easily be damaged by sharp or
abrasive objects.
1. Allow the Heat Shoes to cool.
2. Remove the Feed Table by sliding it toward you to expose the Heat Shoes.
3. Cut the plastic film from the supply rolls and where it exits the rollers. Pull the film toward you
and away from the rollers.
4. Lift the film away from the Heat Shoes. Turn the power on and hold the Motor Drive switch in
the REV position while pulling the film forward toward you (from the front of the laminator).
5. Use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove any residue from the Teflon® surface of the
Heat Shoes and Laminating Rollers.
6. Allow the Heat Shoes and Laminating Rollers to dry before re-threading the film.
