Maintenance
Removing adhesive build up
a) For pressure sensitive adhesives: put on the
rubber gloves and use isopropyl alcohol and a
terry cloth towel.
b) For thermal adhesives: while the laminator is at
normal operating temperature, put on the rubber
gloves and use the rubber cement eraser. This
allows the eraser to bead up the adhesive.
CAUTION
Excessive pressure can destroy the silicone
layer by pressing to hard or scrubbing
too long in one spot.
c) Wipe away the beads with isopropyl
alcohol and a cotton terry cloth.
CAUTION
Do NOT pick or pull heat activated adhesive
off the rolls when they are cold. You can
cause irreparable damage to the
laminating rolls.
When cleaning the bottom main roller,
switch the motion direction to reverse.
When cleaning the bottom pull roller,
switch the motion direction to forward.
This will prevent anything from
being pulled into the nip.
INFORMATION
W A R N I N G
When operating the laminator using the
variable speed footswitch, keep hands and
fingers away from the nip of the rollers.

d) Since the safety shields are raised and the
tables removed, you must use the footswitch to
rotate the bottom rollers after cleaning a
section.
Speed is controlled through the variable
speed footswitch when the safety shield
is in the raised position.
