Tools required:

•80% isopropyl alcohol (or dishwashing detergent)

•Rubber cement eraser

•Several lint free paper or 100% cotton terry cloths

•Protective cotton gloves

To clean the image transfer laminator rolls:

1.Open the machine doors and gain access to the rolls.

IMPORTANT

Exercise extreme caution while cleaning the image transfer laminator. You can be caught in the turning rolls and crushed or burned.

2.While the image transfer laminator is at normal operating temperature, put on cotton gloves and, using a rubber cement eraser, remove any heat acti- vated adhesive from the rolls.

IMPORTANT

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.

IMPORTANT

Do NOT pick or pull heat activated adhesive off

the rolls when they are cold. You can cause irreparable damage to the laminating rolls.

IMPORTANT

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.
