1. Switch the power to the 'HOT' setting. The red POWER light will illuminate.
2. Allow the laminator to warm up for approximately 2-4 minutes. The green READY light will illuminate when the machine reaches the optimal operating temperature (approx. 115-125℃).
3. Place your document inside a laminating pouch, ensuring it is centered and there is an even border around the document.
4. Insert the sealed edge of the laminating pouch squarely into the entry slot. The laminator will automatically feed the pouch through.
5. Once the laminated document exits the machine, place it on a flat surface to cool and flatten.

Cold Lamination

1. Switch the power to the 'COLD' setting. The red POWER light will illuminate, and the green READY light will come on almost immediately.
2. Note: Cold lamination requires special self-adhesive cold laminating pouches.
3. Place your document inside a cold laminating pouch according to the pouch manufacturer's instructions.
4. Insert the sealed edge of the cold laminating pouch squarely into the entry slot. The laminator will feed the pouch through.
5. Once the laminated document exits the machine, it is ready for use.

Using the ABS Button (Anti-Blocking System)

If a laminating pouch becomes jammed or misfed during operation, press and hold the 'ABS' button. This will disengage the rollers, allowing you to gently pull the pouch out of the entry slot. Release the button once the pouch is removed. Ensure the pouch is properly aligned before re-inserting or trying a new pouch.

Using the Paper Cutter

The included paper cutter is designed for precise trimming of paper before or after lamination. Place the paper under the cutting guide, align it using the measurement grid, and slide the blade along the track to cut. Always use caution when handling the blade.

Using the Corner Rounder
