WARNING
Use the minimum amount of pressure necessary
to clean the rolls. You can destroy the silicone
layer on the rolls by pressing to hard or
scrubbing too long in one spot.
Exercise care when cleaning the rolls with 80%
isopropyl alcohol:
•
Use only in a well ventilated area.
•
Wear rubber gloves.
•
Use only on cool rolls.
Cleaning heated rolls can ignite the fumes.
Use only 80% isopropyl alcohol or a rubber
cement eraser to clean the laminating rolls.
Harsh chemicals like toluene, acetone or MEK
destroy the silicone covering of the rolls.
Remove and lockout power from the laminator
while you are performing this procedure. You
could be severely shocked, electrocuted, or get
your fingers caught in the drive mechanisms.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners on the
laminator. Do not spill liquid of any kind on the
laminator. You can be severely shocked,
electrocuted or cause a fire. Use only a damp
cloth for cleaning.
