The only maintenance required by the operator
is to periodically clean the rollers. The following
procedure will help keep the rollers free of dirt and
adhesive, which has been deposited along the edge
of the laminating film. Proper alignment of the rolls of
film reduces the amount of adhesive on the rollers.
Perform only the routine maintenance procedures
referred to in these instructions.
WARNINGS:
• Do not attempt to service or repair the laminator.
Do not open the laminator. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Refer service to qualified
service personnel.
• Keep fingers, hands clothing, jewelry, and long
hair away from the rollers. Clothing, jewelry and
long hair could be caught in the rollers and pull
you into them.
• Entrapment hazard. Do not operate when alone.
More than one person is required to be in the area
when operating the machine.
• Do not lift, tilt, or attempt to move the laminator
other than rolling it on its castors across flat, even
surfaces. You can be severely injured or crushed.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe personal injury or death.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not apply any cleaning fluids or solvents to the
rollers. Some solvents and fluids could damage
the rollers.
• Do not allow foreign objects to fall into the working
area of the laminator.
Failure to observe these cautions could result
damage to the machine.

Keeping the rollers clean ensures that your finished
items will not be damaged by dirt and adhesives.
Clean the rollers with a clean, damp lint-free cloth.
If there are any adhesive build ups, you may use
isopropyl alcohol instead of water.
• Never clean rollers with abrasive, sharp, or
pointed objects.
• Do not use any other cleaning agents other
than those listed above.
• Accumulated adhesive deposits on the
rollers can cause damage to the rollers.
Rotate the rollers at the lowest speed setting
on the control panel. Press Stop and clean
the exposed surface of the Rollers. Repeat
this process to clean the remaining Roller
surfaces.
