When red LED stops blinking and buzzer rings, you're ready to laminate. (It takes 4~5 minutes depending on setting function.) 4. Put document to be laminated, into a laminating pouch.

Emerging laminated document is hot to the touch. (Always allow lamination to cool down on a flat surface for about a minute before handling, to prevent permanent bending. If document is not laminated well, re-insert it and run it through a second time.) 8. When continuously laminating, run the laminator at a lower setting because the internal machine temperature may be higher than the required temperatur, causing the document to bend or ripple. 9. When finished laminating, turn off the machine. ***USEFUL INFORMATION*** * Sometimes, when continuously laminating, LED may begin blinking. If this happens, finish laminating the current document, then wait until the LED stops blinking, before inserting the next lamination. * Do not laminate empty or thin pouch on a thick film setting. The pouch could stick to the roller. * Do not unplug laminator while laminating. This could be fatal for the rollers due to the high internal temperature.
