Usage and Care Tips
Switch the machine on 20~30 minutes before the first job so the glue reaches the target temperature. Set the press height on both sides to match the document thickness, and decide whether milling is needed for the paper you are binding. Empty the waste drawer regularly and use the debug and monitor screen to check machine status.
