CAUTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do NOT pick or pull heat activated adhesive off

 

 

 

 

 

the rolls when they are cold. You can cause

 

 

 

 

 

irreparable damage to the laminating rolls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
