- OPERATION
- GETTING STARTED
ƒ The machine does not use a power switch. Plug the AC cord into the power source. Set the timer knob according to the thickness of the materials to be sealed. The higher the number on the dial, the longer the sealing time. Put one plastic bag on the sealing platform, and then push down the handle. The electronic circuit controls the heat y, the light g turns off (to ( cut off the power p time automatically, automatically). After 1-2 seconds, release the handle. The perfect seal is complete.
ƒ No warm-up time needed.
ƒ Should the seal appear damaged, most likely, the timer on the setting was too high. Adjust the knob to a lower timer setting.
ƒ A non-tight seal is caused by sealing time that is too low. Adjust the knob to a higher timer setting.
ƒ Should the plastic bag stick to the handle rubber, cooling time needs to be longer. Keep the handle down for a short time after the light turns off
ƒ Slide the knife to cut off the rest of the bag. (Only for FS- 200C/205C and FS-300/FS-305C)
ƒ Always start with the lowest setting #1.
ƒ Increase slowly until you get a satisfactory seal.
ƒ Once the correct setting of the timer is set, the sealer will provide a consistent air and water proof seal every time.
- TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SEALING
ƒ Always keep the sealing platform clean. Avoid the oxidation of the residual on the platform which will reduce the life of the heating element and the teflon.
ƒ Do not use water to clean the sealing platform.
ƒ Should the bottom teflon cloth wear out, it will cause a short circuit and damage the heating element. Each time you replace the heating element or the top teflon, teflon check the bottom teflon adhesive and replace if worn.
ƒ Only use original equipment replacement wires and parts.
ƒ A worn silicon handle rubber will influence the sealing effect. After a long period of usage, it should be checked.
ƒ After the timer knob has been set, the heat time duration will remain the same for each usage. It is unnecessary to make further adjustments.
ƒ It is okay to leave the AC cord plugged into the power source. No power is used unless the handle is pressed down.

Quick start
- Plug the AC cord into the power source. There is no power switch and no warm-up time.
- Set the timer knob for the material thickness. Start at #1 and increase slowly.
- Place the plastic bag on the sealing platform and push down the handle.
- When the light turns off, hold for 1–2 seconds, then release the handle.
- On FS-200C/205C and FS-300/305C models, slide the knife to cut off the rest of the bag.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| No sealing, power lamp is off | Disconnected plug, broken power cord, or broken transformer | Check or change the plug, repair or replace the cord, or replace the transformer. Page 3 |
| No sealing, power lamp and sealing lamp are on | Broken heating element, loose spring hook or mounting spring, or poorly connected element terminals | Replace the heater, clean or tighten the spring hook connection, or clean and adjust the terminals. Page 3 |
| No sealing, power lamp on but sealing lamp off | Microswitch issue or defective microswitch | Adjust the microswitch lever or position, or replace the microswitch. Page 3 |
| Seal appears damaged | Timer setting is too high | Turn the knob to a lower timer setting. Page 4 |
| Seal is not tight | Sealing time is too short | Turn the knob to a higher timer setting. Page 4 |
| Bag sticks to the handle rubber | Cooling time is not enough | Keep the handle down for 1–2 seconds after the light goes off. Page 4 |
| Poor seal quality | Worn or dirty Teflon cloth, or worn or dirty silicone rubber | Clean or replace the Teflon cloth and the silicone rubber sealing bar. Page 3 |
Frequently asked questions
What timer setting should I use?
Always start at the lowest setting, #1, and increase slowly until you get a good seal. Higher numbers mean longer sealing time. See page 4.
Does the sealer need to warm up?
No. There is no warm-up time, and no power is used unless the handle is pressed down, so it is fine to leave it plugged in. See page 4.
What bags can it seal?
The FS series is designed for sealing PE and PP bags for food and industrial packaging. See page 5.
How should I clean the sealing platform?
Keep the platform clean of residue, and do not use water. Check the bottom Teflon adhesive whenever you replace the element or top Teflon. See page 4.
