Drylam SL27 Roller Laminator - Manual (Page 11)

Note: As the diameter of the film roll decreases, tension should be reduced.
To increase tension, turn the adjusting knob clockwise. To decrease tension, turn the knob counterclock-
wise. If the tension is not equal top and bottom, the laminated product will curl. If the material curls up as
it comes out of the machine, the top roll is probably tighter than the bottom. If it curls down, the bottom
roll is probably tighter.
Note: Make sure the black disks are flat against the sidepanel. They should be rotating, both top and bot-
tom, while film is feeding.
V. Maintaining the SL27
A. Care and Cleaning
In the normal course of operating the SL27, dirt and adhesive will accumulate on the heat shoes
and rubber rollers (Laminating produces static electricity which attracts airborne dust and dirt). Regular
inspection and cleaning will assure that this does not become a problem.
Never use hard, sharp, or abrasive items to clean the heat shoes. The shoes are coated with a non-stick
surface that could easily be damaged. Likewise, do not use sharp metallic objects or steel wool to clean
the rubber rollers. Any scratches, indentations, or marks left on the rollers will appear on the laminated
product.
To clean the shoes and rollers, use a clean, lint-free cloth. Some suggested solvents are Poly-Off®, rub-
bing alcohol(isopropyl), fingernail polish remover(with acetone), and Goof-Off® spray.
