Cleaning The Heat Shoe; Cleaning The Rubber Roller - usi 1800-2700 Owner's Manual

CLEANING THE HEAT SHOES
With continuous use the heat shoes and rubber rollers may
accumulate adhesive and dirt. It is recommended that you
periodically inspect them for adhesive build-up. Use USI's
Laminator Cleaning Kit, which contains cleaning fluid, a coarse
scrubbing pad and a mesh covered sponge, for removal of any
adhesive build up.

Moisten the sponge pad with poly-off cleaning fluid and wipe down
the heat shoes.
NOTE: Be sure to clean the heat shoes only when the laminator is cool.
CAUTION: Teflon coated heat shoes are scratchable.

CLEANING THE RUBBER ROLLERS
If indentations begin to appear on the surface of finished
laminations, this may indicate that cleaning of the rollers is
necessary.
Periodically inspect the rubber laminating and pull rollers for
adhesive build-up.
Remove the upper heat shoe to gain access to the laminating
rollers for cleaning.
Before cleaning be sure the laminator is cool.
Use a dry Scotch Brite ® pad to remove excess adhesive from the
rollers. Photo 15-3.
Turn the drive switch on and off to advance the rollers and clean
each section at a time.

Wipe clean with the sponge pad and cleaning solution from USI's
Laminator Cleaning Kit.
NOTE: Use cleaning solution sparingly. Do not allow to "run" onto
wiring or into "ends" of laminator.
WARNING: Do not use any sharp metallic objects or steel
wool to clean the rubber rollers. Use of such abrasive objects
can damage the rubber surface of the rollers. USI strongly
recommends the Laminator Cleaning Kit for all of your
cleaning needs.
