CLEANING / MAINTAINING YOUR LAMINATOR
CLEANING THE LAMINATOR
• The laminator may be cleaned with a lint-free cloth,
lightly dampened with a mild soap and water
solution. Do not use spray-on cleaners. Do not
immerse any part of the laminator in water or other
liquids.
• Do not use an abrasive cleaner, which can damage
the painted surfaces.
• Do not allow water or liquids to enter the electrical
circuits, which may cause personal injury and/or
damage the equipment when power is applied.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard inside!
Call Technical Service for further assistance (see
rear cover).
CLEANING THE ROLLERS
IMPORTANT! Clean the laminating rollers
every day to prevent adhesive build-up and to
ensure quality output. Adhesive build up may
eventually damage the rollers.
• When laminating, a small amount of adhesive will
squeeze out between the laminate films and onto
the top and bottom rollers. This residue
accumulates through normal use and can be easily
cleaned off the rollers.
• Use the Image roll-cleaner (included) to remove the
excess adhesive from the rollers. This is best done
with the rollers hot.
WARNING! Use only an Image Roll Cleaner or
a cotton cloth and Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to
clean the rollers. Do not use other solvents or
cleaners. Use of other cleaners or solvents may
cause roller damage and will void the warranty.
• When cleaning the upper roller, place a piece of
scrap foam board under the roller to prevent the
removed adhesive remnants from falling onto the
lower roller.
• For adhesive that is difficult to remove, allow the
rollers to cool and use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a
clean, lint-free cloth. Never pour isopropyl alcohol
(IPA) directly onto the unit.
CAUTION! Always use care when using
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)! IPA is very flammable.
The flash point of IPA is 51.8°F (11°C). The
self-ignition temperature is 752°F (400°C). Wear
rubber gloves and use in a well-ventilated area.
