MAINTENANCE
This section contains instructions for cleaning and maintaining your laminator. These procedures
should be performed at regular intervals to help ensure the trouble-free operation of your
laminator.
Caution:
Before performing any maintenance on your laminator first disconnect
the power supply. Hazardous voltages are present when the side
panels are removed.
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. Turn the power on and hold the Motor Drive switch in the
REV position while pulling 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 Laminating Rollers.
6. Allow the Laminating Rollers to dry before re-threading the film.
