Exercise extreme caution while cleaning the
laminator. You can be caught in the turning
rolls and crushed or burned.
2.
While the laminator is at normal operating
temperature, put on the rubber gloves and, using
a rubber cement eraser, remove any heat
activated adhesive from the rolls.

off the rolls when they are cold. You can cause
irreparable damage to the laminating rolls.
