Roller lubrication
The bearings in your laminator are permanently lubricated; they typically require replacement rather
than lubrication. Replacement of your bushings is quite unusual, the bearings that are installed into your
laminator are rated for a much more severe duty than your laminator could possibly see. If you must,
you may oil the bushings on the laminator using a 10-weight synthetic high temperature oil. Unplug the
machine. Using a long small tube type applicator apply two drops of oil to the roller shafts next to the
respective bushings. Do not get any oil on the rollers and do not damage the rollers with the applicator.
Mandrels Lubrication
The mandrels are also permanently lubricated and MUST NOT be lubricated as the lubricant will
migrate and destructively affect the friction characteristics of the clutch face and clutches. Hub
replacement is the only solution to wear.
It would be absurd to lubricate the mandrel spring bushing.
If one finds it necessary to lubricate the mandrel knob, remove the knob, find a ½-13 (coarse thread) bolt
that has threads about 2” in length and apply a dry lubricant, such as dry graphite, to the threads. Thread
the knob on it, turn the knob through the screw threads several times. Remove the knob, blow it off, and
wipe off any excess graphite from the outside. Reinstall the knob.
Chain Lubrication
When the machine is open for maintenance take note of the condition of the chain and sprockets and
lube if necessary.
The chain should be periodically lubricated, with a high temperature grease (gl 4), when necessary.
When applying grease, make sure to keep the inside of the machine clean and wipe up any old grease
that has dripped onto the machine panels
Cam lubrication
When the machine is open for maintenance, take note of the condition and existence of grease on the
cam and following surfaces if necessary grease with a high temperature grease
Pressure Block Screw Lubrication
It may be necessary to lubricate the pressure block screw threads if it becomes difficult to turn
1. Remove the screw take note of how many turns it takes to remove each screw so that it may be
returned to its original setting once replaced.
2. Using a high temperature grease or an anti-seize compound, apply it to the threads and the tip of
the screw
3. Replace screw, verify success
