the machine, set lever to
“UP” position
Setting up the machineSetting up the machine

Set temperature to desired
heat level and press the
heat button
At this time, the machine will take a few minutes to heat up
At 80 degrees Celsius, you will hear a beep from the
machine. This is to let you know that when the temperature
reaches 90 degrees, the rollers will start to turn. Press heat
button again to silence beeping.
At 90 degrees Celsius, the roller will start turning. If the
lever is in the “UP” position, the rollers are therefore
separated, the machine should not pull any film through.
The chart at the top left hand side of
the machine will give you our
recommended setting for different
thicknesses of film (settings may vary
depending upon material)

Align the feed tray with appropriate
notches, and set into place.
Machine will beep once again when
desired temperature is reached and
green ready light will go on.

Lever should always be in “UP”
position when machine is NOT in use Lever should be in “DOWN” position
when machine is in use

Trim blade
The trim blade is used to separate your
current laminated project from the rest
of the material.
Caution: The blade is very sharp and
should be used with utmost care.
Run blade through material from left to
right to cut finished product from the
rest of the film.
When not in use, trim blade should be
set on the left side of the machine
