CLEANING THE HEAT SHOES

With continuous use the heat shoes and rubber rollers may
accumulate adhesive and dirt. It is recommended that you
periodically inspect them for adhesive build-up. Use USI’s
Laminator Cleaning Kit, which contains cleaning fluid, a coarse
scrubbing
pad and a mesh covered sponge, for removal of any
adhesive build up.
Moisten the sponge pad with the cleaning fluid and wipe down the
heat shoes.
NOTE: Be sure to clean the heat shoes only when the laminator is cool.
CAUTION: Teflon coated heat shoes are scratchable.
CLEANING THE RUBBER ROLLERS

If indentations begin to appear on the surface of finished
laminations, this may indicate that cleaning of the rollers is
necessary.
Periodically inspect the rubber laminating and pull rollers for
adhesive build-up.
R
emove
the upper heat shoe to gain access to the laminating
rollers for cleaning.
Before cleaning be sure the laminator is cool.
Use a dry Scotch Brite
®
pad to remove excess adhesive from the
rollers. Photo 15-3.
Turn
the drive switch on and off to advance the rollers and clean
each section at a time.
Wipe clean with the sponge pad and cleaning fluid from USI’s
Laminator Cleaning Kit.
NOTE: Use cleaning
fluid
sparingly. Do not allow to “run” onto
wiring or into “ends” of laminator.
WARNING: Do not use any sharp metallic objects or steel
wool to clean the rubber rollers. Use of such abrasive objects
can damage the rubber surface of the rollers. USI strongly
recommends the Laminator Cleaning Kit for all of your
cleaning needs.
