How to use

Prepare the item to be laminated by ensuring it is clean, free of dust and properly aligned inside a compatible heat-activated pouch or roll film sized for A3. Turn on the laminator and allow it to warm up according to the machine's ready indicator before feeding material. Insert the sealed edge of the pouch into the feed opening and guide the pouch steadily until the machine pulls it through; avoid forcing or angling the item. After lamination, lay the finished piece flat on a cool surface to set and avoid immediate bending while the film cools.

Recommendations

Use pouches or films recommended for hot lamination and suitable for the target media thickness. For best results with photos and printed documents, select an appropriate pouch thickness and allow the machine to reach operating temperature. For occasional large items up to A3, feed them slowly and straight to prevent wrinkles; store laminated items flat after processing.
