TROUBLESHOOTING
When adhesives from the film build up on the rollers the quality of lamination
will decrease and jamming may occur. Please clean the rollers regularly.
1. Turn on the laminator and set the temperature at 100°C(212°F) and set the mil
thickness at 100 mic(4mil).
2. Insert a sheet of clean thick paper (about 0.5 mm or 1/50” thick) into the front
opening of the machine 2-3 times to remove excess adhesive from the rollers.
3. To thoroughly clean the rollers make sure the machine is in the COLD mode and the
rollers are completely cool.
4. Unscrew the 2 screws on the cover using a screwdriver. Once the screws are off,
remove the top cover.
5. Use a cleaning solvent such as Laminex Poly-Off or something equivalent on a lint
free cloth to clean residue on the rollers. (Do not use alcohol or petroleum based
cleaning solvents or abrasives.)
