7-1 GENERAL CLEANING
Cleaning the laminator daily or weekly will help prevent dirt or adhesive build-up on the
rubber rollers and heat shoes and will improve the performance of the unit.
7-2 CLEANING THE HEAT SHOES
During normal use, excess adhesive from the film will often cling to the heat shoes,
especially near the edges. Film coating powders can also build up on the shoes, and
will increase friction between the film and the shoes
.
This type of build-up may not be
visible
, and it may adversely affect lamination in a number of ways. Film squealing
loudly as it passes over the shoe can sometimes be a symptom of this problem.
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE MACHINE.
Using a clean, soft, dry cloth, gently rub
the adhesive or other contaminants off the shoes. Never use any abrasive material or
rub too hard on the shoes because you may remove the Teflon coating.
You may dampen your cleaning cloth with soapy water or a mild water-based cleaning
solution, but make sure you carefully insulate your hands from possible steam burns if
you do this. The steam formed when water hits the hot surface can penetrate both the
cleaning cloth and your gloves.
7-3 CLEANING THE RUBBER ROLLERS
Both the laminating rollers and the pull rollers need regular cleaning. Collectively, these
are referred to as the rubber rollers. The upper heat shoe on the laminator swings away
in seconds, making it far easier to clean the laminating rollers.
To clean the laminating rollers:
1. Turn off and unplug the machine.
2. Loosen the two thumbscrews located on the heat shoe brackets.
3. Lift the top heat shoe and secure it in the raised position by tightening both
thumbscrews in the upper set of holes in the side panels. This will expose the
rollers so that you can clean them more easily.
4. Use the REVERSE switch to slightly reposition the laminating rollers so that you
can clean the entire surface on each roller in sections. The REVERSE switch is
a momentary switch: the rollers will stop as soon as you take your finger off the
button. Don’t try to clean the rollers while they are turning. Never operate the
rollers with your hands near the nip.
