curl. If it curls up when it comes out of the machine, the top roll is likely tighter than the bottom. If it
curls down, the bottom roll is likely tighter. To increase tension, turn the adjusting knob clockwise.
To decrease tension, turn the knob counter clockwise. Even tension on the top and bottom rolls
ensures flat lamination.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE & SPEED
1.
User should set up the temperature for upper and lower rollers separately. Turn on the power switch
and press the “U” key, then the digital screen display will show the previous temperature setting of
upper roller. Please adjust the temperature to the recommended setting based on the thickness of
film being used by pressing the “TEMP/SET” “
︿
” or “
﹀
” arrow keys. Similarly do the same way
to set up the temperature of bottom roller by pressing the “L” key. Said recommendations are found
in front of the machine’s left side panel.
The digital screen display will beep showing the set
temperature for 3 seconds before showing the actual machine temperature.
NOTE: to check the current temperature or temperature setting of upper or lower roller, please
press the “U” or “L” key.
2. Once the temperature is set, press the “HOT” key to start the heating process and the heater light
will turn on. Once the set temperature is achieved and the roller temperature is stabilized, the
machine will start beeping and the ready light will turn on. Once the ready light stays on, you can
set the recommended speed.
3. Press the “MOTOR” “
︿
” or “
﹀
” arrow keys to set the motor speed. The following table gives
some common temperature/speed setting for typical uses.

LAMINATING PROCEDURES
1. Push the handle to the “DOWN” position to engage the rollers and
then turn
the motor switch
to
“RUN” position. The user can now start laminating or mounting as the machine starts feeding in
film.
2. To put the lamination temporarily on hold without turning off the machine, user can turn the motor
control switch to
“STOP”
position.
This will cause the motor to stop running and the film will stop
feeding.
3. To resume the lamination job, turn the switch to “RUN” position again.
