Cleaning and maintenance of your machine
The most expensive part of a laminator is usually the rollers, if these become damaged
they are costly to repair. Always ensure you look after the rollers and clean them
regularly to avoid a build up of glue (see advice below). Never hold a sharp object such
as a knife close to the rollers in case of catching the rubber as this could cause
permanent damage that will effect the result of your work.
When your laminator is cooling down, always separate the rollers using the roller
pressure knob, this will ensure that your rollers do not touch when still hot as this could
leave a ‘flat spot’.
Cleaning the rollers
It is easier to remove adhesive from the rollers when they are warm, do not attempt this
if the machine is hot (above 40
o
C). For easy access, remove the safety shield and feed
tray. Always use a clean cloth and a mild anti-static foam cleaner such as Amberclens by
Ambersil or similar, do not use a heavy duty
solvent or anything abrasive.
If the film becomes jammed in the machine in any way and there is a large build up of
adhesive, do not try and remove this yourself, contact your supplier for advice.
Troubleshooting
My laminator has no power
Make sure that the electrical outlet being used is not damaged and that it is supplying power. Ensure the power cord is firmly
fitted in the back of the machine and not straining in any way. If all of this seems correct, there are three fuses to check, one is
located next to the power switch, the other two are located underneath the laminator.
Contact your supplier if none of these solutions resolve the problem.
My lamination is coming out cloudy
This means that the temperature is not hot enough, try and increase by 5
o
C and wait until the laminator has reached the new
temperature before putting through another print.
My lamination has come out wrinkled/creased
This means that the temperature is too hot. You should also put a test document through first to avoid ruining your work.
Reduce the temperature by 5
o
C and wait until the laminator has cooled before trying again.
The film is wrapping around the rollers when I try to laminate
The film may be threaded incorrectly, refer to the threading diagram on page 6 or 8 (depending on if you are doing single sided
or encapsulating. The adhesive side of the film may be facing the roller. Stop the operation, wait until the laminator has cooled
down and thread the film again in the correct manner.
