Exercise extreme caution while cleaning the
image transfer laminator. You can be caught in
the turning rolls and crushed or burned.
If silicone adhesive contacts the upper or lower
roll, remove it IMMEDIATELY using a rubber
cement eraser. It can harden within an hour and
ruin the roll.
Do NOT pick or pull heat activated adhesive off
the rolls when they are cold. You can cause
irreparable damage to the laminating rolls.
Do not use compressed air to clean the machine.
Blowing debris can be forced into places where it
will later ignite or short electric circuits.
