Quick start
- Place the Docu-Crease on a stable bench or table.
- Using the measurement scales, set the stop to the required position. Set a second stop for twin creasing.

- Keeping it tight against the lay strip, slide it toward the creasing head until clear of the stop, then back against the stop.
- Lower the handle until the blade touches the material, apply light pressure to form the crease, then lift the handle.
- For a second crease, move to the second stop, re-align and repeat.
- Hand fold along the crease, always on the reverse of the creased side.
