Maintenance and Troubleshooting
To clean beads of adhesive, dust and dirt from the
rolls:
1. Allow the laminator to cool slightly to no higher
than 110ºF (43ºC).
2. Set the FWD/REV switch to the REV position.
3. Clean the rolls using a moderate amount of 80%
isopropyl alcohol on a cotton terry cloth.
Use the minimum amount of pressure necessary
to clean the rolls. You can destroy the silicone
layer on the rolls by pressing to hard or
scrubbing too long in one spot.
Exercise care when cleaning the rolls with 80%
isopropyl alcohol:
Use only in a well ventilated area.
Wear rubber gloves.
Use only on cool rolls.
Cleaning heated rolls can ignite the fumes.
Use only 80% isopropyl alcohol or a rubber
cement eraser to clean the laminating rolls.
Harsh chemicals like toluene, acetone or MEK
destroy the silicone covering of the rolls.
4. With the laminator rolls no hotter than 110ºF,
remove dust and dirt from the silicone laminating
rolls by running an adhesive-coated board through
the laminator. Be sure to set the nip for the thick-
ness of the board used.
5. Allow the laminator to cool.
