6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective lamination and curing:
- Prepare Device: Clean the mobile device screen thoroughly and prepare the film (hydrogel, UV light-curable, or UV glass film) according to its specific instructions.
- Place Device: Open the clamshell lid of the S-918B SE. Carefully place the mobile device inside the work area, ensuring it is properly aligned. Utilize the camera notch positioning grooves and soft cotton pad to secure the device and prevent damage. The machine supports devices up to 7 inches.
- Apply Film: Apply the film to the device screen as per the film manufacturer's instructions.
- Select Mode: Use the smart touch digital display panel to select the desired operating mode:
- Vacuum+UV (240s): For combined vacuum bonding and UV curing.
- UV (90s): For UV curing only.
- Vacuum (40s): For vacuum bonding only.
- Start Operation: Once the mode is selected, press the start button on the touch panel. The machine will begin the chosen process, and the completion time will be displayed.
- Monitor Process: Allow the machine to complete the cycle. The clamshell design ensures optimal light utilization during curing.
- Stop Operation: To stop the process prematurely, touch and hold the 'STOP' button for 3 seconds.
- Remove Device: Once the process is complete, open the lid and carefully remove your device. Inspect the lamination for quality.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. For the interior, ensure the machine is powered off and unplugged before gently cleaning any dust or residue from the work area and UV lamp beads. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the machine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity when not in use.
- Inspection: Periodically check the Type-C power port and cable for any signs of wear or damage.
8. Troubleshooting
- Machine does not power on:
- Ensure the Type-C power cable is securely connected to both the machine and a functional 5V/2A power adapter. Try a different power outlet or adapter if available.
- Film not curing properly:
- Verify that the correct UV curing mode (UV or Vacuum+UV) was selected and the duration is appropriate for the film type. Ensure the device is placed correctly and the lid is fully closed during the curing process. Check the UV lamp beads for any visible damage or obstructions.
- Bubbles or wrinkles after lamination:
- Ensure the screen and film are perfectly clean before application. Make sure the device is properly positioned within the vacuum area. Select the 'Vacuum+UV' or 'Vacuum' mode for optimal bubble removal. Ensure the film is applied smoothly before starting the vacuum process.
9. User Tips
- This machine is highly effective for LCD regeneration, OCA lamination, and glass replacement processes.
- The S-918B SE features an integrated vacuum pump, so an external compressor is not required for vacuum bonding.
- The maximum screen size supported for lamination is 7 inches. Always check your device's screen size before use.
- For best results, always follow the specific instructions provided with your screen protector or film.
