AMINATOR

The only maintenance required by the operator 
is to periodically clean the rollers. The following 
procedure will help keep them free of dirt and 
adhesive, which has been deposited along the edge 
of the laminating film. Proper alignment of the rolls of 
film reduces the amount of adhesive on the rollers. 
Perform only the routine maintenance procedures 
referred to in these instructions. 

 

WARNINGS: 

Do not attempt to service or repair the laminator. 
Do not apply any cleaning fluids or solvents to the 
rollers. Some solvents and fluids could damage 
the rollers.
Keep fingers and hands away from the rollers 
when the machine is running. They could be 
trapped and crushed in the rollers. Clothing, 
jewelry, and long hair could be caught in the 
rollers and pull you into them.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in 
severe personal injury or death or damage the 
machine.
