Cleaning the Laminating Rollers…
The Laminating Rollers should be cleaned of any residual adhesive whenever the film does not pass
smoothly over their surfaces. Be cautious with sharp objects near the rollers.
1. Allow the rollers to cool.
2. Remove the Feed Table by lifting and pulling it toward you to expose the rollers.
3. Cut the plastic film from the supply rolls and where it exits the rollers. Pull the film toward you and
away from the rollers.
4. Lift the film away from the rollers. While holding down the “Rev” button, pull the film forward
toward you (from the front of the laminator).
5. Use a soft cloth moistened with denatured alcohol to remove any residue from the surface of the
Rollers.
6. Allow the Laminating Rollers to dry before re-threading the film.
Removing Wrap-Arounds…
Wraparounds are the most common issues with laminators. This occurs when film does not clear the
rear of the pull rollers; instead, the film gets wrapped around the rollers. They can occur when
laminating with thinner gauges of film, when the rollers are not cleaned properly, when the film is
threaded improperly and when the laminator is located on a surface that does not allow the film to exit
the rear of the machine and “free-fall” to the ground.
Use the same procedure for
Cleaning the Laminating Rollers
in order to remove a wrap-around. You
should remove any wrap-arounds that occur as soon as possible. If the film is allowed to cool while
wrapped around the rollers it may be more difficult to remove and the heaters may have to be turned
on to loosen the film.
The rollers are hot! Use caution when cleaning the rollers or when removing wrap-arounds. Be careful
with sharp objects, cutting a rubber roller will ruin it and result in a void of warranty.
NOTE:
Ensure that the temperature sensor is touching roller after experiencing a wrap-around. The
sensor must be in contact with the roller to accurately sense the roller temperature. Any gap between
the sensor and roller will result in a false reading and could result in overheating.
