6 Maintenance

Cleaning of the Machine

The equipment must be disconnected from the mains before cleaning.

The laminator may be cleaned by the operator with a lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Spray-on cleaners are not to be used. No part of the machine is to be immersed 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.

Roller cleaning

To clean the rollers: use the Image roll-cleaner to remove the excess adhesive from the rollers. This is done best while the rollers are hot.

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 11°C (51.8°F). The self-ignition temperature is 400°C (752°F)

Unwind Shafts

Clean the rubber ropes at least once a week.

If a rubber rope becomes too slack after a longer period of time, unscrew one of the clamps, cut off 1cm (0.5’’) of the rope, and fasten it again using the clamp.
