OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
Before operating, check the heating element, Teflon cover, Teflon adhesive and sealing pad (silicone rubber).
Read all instructions before use. Save these instructions for later use.
Set the Power Switch to the ON position.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
Choose either “Single-Wire” or “Double-Wire” sealing. Single wire will utilize only one element to seal and double wire will utilize both top and bottom elements to seal your material.
Unplug this product from the power source before cleaning and/or changing any parts
Do not rest anything on the power cord. Do not place the machine where the power cord may be stepped on or pulled.
Adjust the timer setting according to the thickness of the sealing material. Note: Always start with the lowest setting and gradually increase to the correct setting.
Always keep out of reach of children and pets.
This sealer should only be in use with an operator in attendance.
Never insert clothing, hands, fingers between the sealing jaws of sealers.
Never touch the heating elements with bare hands while the sealer is plugged into a power source, or in operation, or just finished operation. It will be HOT.
Be sure to check for worn parts before starting operation.
Do not operate with a damaged power cord or plug.
Always keep the unit clean. Do not use water. Silicone spray may be used to clean the unit. Be sure the unit is unplugged from the power source before cleaning.
When changing blade (for sealers with cutters), be careful of the sharp edge.
When changing the teflon adhesive, be sure the entire surface under the heating element is covered with a teflon adhesive. Bend down the excess teflon adhesive on both ends. This prevents the heating element from breaking and the machine from grounding.
When replacing the fuse, be sure the exact voltage and ampere is used.
Be sure to keep a record of your model number. Specify this number when ordering parts.
When replacing any parts, be sure to mark down the exact locations of the connections.
Place the object to be sealed.
Pull the handle down and seal.
Wait 2-3 seconds to allow the seal to set and lift the handle.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Always keep the sealing platform clean and remove any residue found on the upper barrier (Teflon Cover) and Pressing Pad (Silicone Rubber).
A good rule of thumb is to replace the bottom barrier tape (Teflon Adhesive) when replacing the Heating Element. The Teflon serves as a barrier between the metal seal arm and the heating element. Never allow the element to come in contact with the sealer arm as this will damage the timer.
Be sure to turn OFF the power or unplug before replacing any parts.
Clean the sealing platform with a dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Use silicone spray.

Quick start
- Check parts: Before operating, check the heating element, Teflon cover, Teflon adhesive and sealing pad (silicone rubber).
- Power on: Set the power switch to the ON position.
- Pick wire mode: Choose Single-Wire or Double-Wire sealing. Single wire uses one element. Double wire uses both top and bottom elements.
- Set the timer: Adjust the timer to the thickness of the material. Start at the lowest setting and raise it gradually.
- Place the object: Place the object to be sealed.
- Seal: Pull the handle down and seal.
- Let the seal set: Wait 2 to 3 seconds, then lift the handle.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| No sealing and the power lamp is off | The plug is disconnected, the power cord is broken or the transformer is broken. | Check or change the plug. Replace or repair the cord. Replace the transformer. Page 2 |
| No sealing, power lamp on, sealing lamp on | The heater is broken, the spring hook or mounting spring is loose, or the heating element terminals are in poor contact. | Replace the heater. Clean or tighten the spring hook connection. Clean the terminals and adjust if needed. Page 2 |
| No sealing, power lamp on, sealing lamp off | The microswitch is activated or defective. | Adjust the microswitch lever or position. Replace the microswitch if needed. Page 2 |
| Seal is poor because the heating time is too long | The heating timer is set too high. | Lower the timer setting. Replace the timer or relay if the timer is faulty. Page 2 |
| Seal does not set | Cooling time is not enough. | Keep pressing the upper lever for 1 to 2 seconds after the light goes off. Page 2 |
| Poor seal from worn parts | The Teflon cloth or silicone rubber is worn. | Replace the Teflon cloth or the silicone rubber. Page 2 |
| Poor seal from dirty parts | The Teflon cloth or sealing bar is dirty. | Clean the Teflon cover and the silicone rubber sealing bar. Page 2 |
Frequently asked questions
How long do I hold the handle down?
Pull the handle down and seal, then wait 2 to 3 seconds for the seal to set before lifting it. See page 3.
What is the difference between single and double wire sealing?
Single wire uses only one element to seal. Double wire uses both the top and bottom elements. See page 3.
How do I set the timer?
Match it to the thickness of the material. Start with the lowest setting and raise it gradually. See page 3.
How do I clean the sealer?
Unplug it first. Use a dry cloth and silicone spray. Do not use water or solvents. See page 3.
Why is there no sealing when the power lamp is off?
The plug may be disconnected, the cord may be broken or the transformer may be broken. See page 2.
