CLEANING/MAINTAINING YOUR LAMINATOR
32
WARNING! Turn the door interlock to the OFF
position and then disconnect the laminator from the
power supply before cleaning or greasing the bearings.
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 cir-
cuits, which may cause personal injury and/or damage
the equipment when power is applied.
GREASING THE BEARINGS
• You must grease the top and bottom roller bearings once
each month or every 200 hours. Refer to the Grease Gun
Kit included in your accessory kit for supplies and
instructions.
WARNING! Failure to lube bearings will cause prema-
ture wear, which may cause costly repairs and will void
your warranty.
Call SEAL Graphics 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.
