machine. Ensure all the operators are aware of how to use it safely.
All users of this product are requested to follow all warnings and instructions contained in this

This heat sealer is supplied with a 3 wire power cable and a moulded 13 amp fused plug (UK). A
secondary fuse is located on the circuit board for additional protection. Increased user safety
can be achieved by the provision of a residual current device (RCD) being used on the supply
circuit to the machine.
The machine is not rated for direct water contact unless otherwise stated.
Ensure the power is switched off and the plug removed from the socket prior to carrying out any
service work.
The machine should be regularly serviced using genuine Star parts and is subject to the portable
appliance test regulations.
When not in use switch the machine off.
The sealer is designed to be installed on a flat level surface to ensure stability during operation.
The sealer is a heavy unit, take extra care when moving the machine using appropriate methods
and equipment. For machine weights and dimensions see later in the manual.
Heat sealers are not designed to be used in flammable or explosive environments.
With repeated cycling residual heat can build up on the sealing jaws. Avoid touching them
wherever possible.
Keep hands clear of the sealing jaws when operating the machine.
Always use heat sealers in a ventilated environment as sealing certain plastics may create fumes.
Check with your bag/material manufacturer.
