directions for operation
- Insert power plug into socket.
Step II. Allow the sealer to heat up approximately 5 minutes (warm-up time will vary with the thickness of the bag to be sealed). Choose either the low setting for a light material or a the high setting for thicker materials. The KF-150CSTA has 8 different temperature settings. We recommend starting at the lowest setting and gradually moving up as needed.
Step III. After a suitable temperature has been reached, put the bag edge between the heated sealing bars and press down for 3 seconds. If the seal weld holds, continue this way.
- If the welding appears to damage the bag, apply pressure on the sealing bar for less than 3 seconds. If the welding appears incomplete, apply pressure for more than 3 seconds.
