MACHINE OPERATION
Once the vacuum level, weld and cool times have been set, along with the compensation if
required, the sealer is ready to use.
The operation involves placing the bag to be sealed between the jaws with the open end round
the vacuum probe, closing the clamp jaw until enough vacuum has been applied, pressing the
foot switch, the top jaw descends automatically and runs through a weld and cool cycle,
releasing on completion.
IMPORTANT – ONCE THE SEALING JAWS HAVE CLOSED RELEASE THE CLAMP JAW OR THE CLAMP
JAW RUBBER CAN BE DAMAGED BY THE PROBE RETURNING.
When operating the machine ensure your hands or anyone else’s are not between the jaws. Try
and avoid touching the jaws if possible as they can become warm with continuous use.
