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.
