10. CLEANING
10.1 Cleaning
The
Nip
Rollers
With the machine at full laminating temperature and with no film through the machine. Rotate the
rollers in reverse to avoid fingers or rags being dragged into the nip. Use a kerosene-soaked cloth, to
rub the adhesive build-up line until it evaporates. In severe cases a plastic scouring pad can be used.
DO NOT
use excessive amounts of kerosene or leave the rollers too wet.
DO NOT
use metal scouring pads or abrasives.
DO NOT
pick at the adhesive or use any sharp objects near the rollers.
DO
be patient. Any cuts or holes in the laminating rollers will show up as marks on your
laminated work and can only be rectified by replacing the rollers.
CAUTION :
Under no circumstances use Alcohol, Petrol or detergents.
