5.  Cleaning the Laminator 

1.  It is important to clean the machine 

immediately 

after the end of the material is 

completely through the Dryer panel. 

2.  Switch the machine into Stop mode. 

3.  Using a 

WET

 cloth wipe the 2 draw down bars to remove any excess sealant 

from them. 

4.  Wipe the stainless steel table directly behind the Draw Down Assembly if it has 

any sealant on it. 

Note:

 

Sometimes the tail end of the material will drag a little coating onto the 
stainless steel table behind the Draw Down Assembly.  It needs to be 
cleaned off quickly because the heat from the Dryer Panel will dry it 
rapidly. 

5.  Dry the Draw Down bars with a clean dry cloth. 

6.  Use a small cup of water to dip the tip of the flex hose into in order to pull excess 

coating out of the tube.  Wipe the tip of the flex hose dry. 

7.  If you are finished with the machine for a period of time you should also wipe any 

excess sealant out of the drain tank. (A large 4” X 6” sponge works well for this.)
