To keep your laminator free of adhesives that could hurt the quality of your work, you
should
clean the rollers
from time to time, or frequently, depending on how often you use
the machine. The best way is to do this right after you have finished hot laminating,
because the rollers will still be hot, which is necessary for the cleaning process.
To clean the rollers:
• Turn selector to if it is not already on this setting
• Wait for the readiness light and signal
• Insert the cleaning sheet included in the package, repeating one or two times
• Insert a plain white sheet of paper to test for remaining traces, and
• Reinsert the cleaning sheet, if necessary, and retest.
To clean the exterior of your machine, just wipe with a soft cloth dampened with plain
water.
Troubleshooting
If you are not getting the results you should be, you can probably solve the problem quick-
ly. If, for example, your end product is:
•
C l o u d y
- The temperature is too low or the pouch/contents combination too thick. Try pass-
ing it through the machine one or more times, or raising the temperature if you can.
Otherwise, choose a thinner pouch or reduce the weight or thickness of the contents.
•
C u r l e d
- The support rack is not in place. Install it as described under S e t- u p.
•
Wa v y
- The temperature is too high. Turn the machine to the lower setting if you can.
Passing through the cleaning sheet will also help cool down the rollers.
•
S p o t t e d
- The rollers have deposits of adhesive. Follow the cleaning procedure, as
described under M a i n t e n a n c e .
•
Open edges
- Your material is too close to the edge of the pouch to create a strong seal.
Next time make sure your materials are at least 3 mm, or 0.11 inch, from the three
unsealed edges of the pouch.
If the pouch gets
stuck in the rollers
, it is probably due to incorrect placement of the con-
tents or too thick a pouch/contents combination. If the top of the pouch has emerged from
the material exit, pull on this end of the pouch evenly and slowly, making sure not to speed
up the rollers. If this doesn’t work or the pouch has not yet emerged from the exit, unplug
the machine and send it to us for repair, directly or through your retailer. Do not attempt to
pull it out backwards, against the direction of the rollers. This will damage the machine.
