NATOR
GMP offers Cleaning kits as well as Extended
Maintenance Agreements.
Contact your local
GMP
Service Representative
or your dealer/distributor for additional informa-
tion.
The only maintenance required by the operator
is to periodically clean the heat rollers and
schedule semi annual maintenance checks.
The following procedure will help keep the heat
rollers free of adhesive that has been deposited
along the edge of the laminating film. Proper
alignment of the rolls of film reduces the amount
of “squeeze out”.
WARNING: Do not attempt to
laminate adhesives marked
“Flammable”.
•
Do not laminate glitter and/ or metallic items.
Damage to the rollers may result.
WARNING: Do not apply any cleaning
fluids or solvents to the rollers.
Some solvents and fluids could ignite on
heated rollers.
•
Never clean rollers with sharp or pointed
objects.
•
Hardened adhesive deposits on the rollers
can cause damage to the rollers. Rotate the
rollers at the lowest speed setting on the
control panel.
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCE-
DURE IS PERFORMED WHILE THE
LAMINATOR IS HOT. USE EXTREME CAU-
TION.
1. Remove the film from the laminator following
the procedure outlined in steps 1 through 6
of the section entitled
TO UNWEB THE
LAMINATOR.
2. Preheat the laminator until the “READY”
indicator appears.
3. Remove the safety shield and tilt the feed
table.
4. Rub the top and bottom heat rollers with a
3M™ Scotch-Brite™ pad . DO NOT USE
METAL SCOURING PADS!
5. Use the footswitch to rotate the lower heat/
pull roller to an unclean portion. The upper
heat/ pull rollers are free spinning. Continue
this process until the complete surface of
both rollers are clean.
6. Refer to the beginning of the section entitled
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS to web your
laminator.
*NOTE: Do not use metal scouring pads to
clean the rollers.
