Introduction 7
Safety
Read this manual carefully and make it available to everyone connected with the
supervision, maintenance, or operation of this machine. Additional copies are available
on request (Eastey.com/contact-us).
The development of a good safety program that is rigidly enforced is absolutely
imperative when involved in the operation of industrial equipment. Our machinery is well
designed and includes extremely important safety features. Proper installation, safe
operation, and regular maintenance and upkeep are of far greater importance than the
design. Improper operation of this machine can cause injury to operators or bystanders
near the machine and can cause damage to the machine or nearby property. Only
properly-trained individuals following rigidly enforced safety rules, as recommended by
ANSI and OSHA should be allowed to operate these machines.
Be very careful when operating, adjusting, or servicing this equipment. If in doubt, stop
and obtain qualified help before proceeding.
General Safety Precautions
Before installing, operating, or servicing this equipment, please read the following
precautions carefully:
•Always disconnect electrical power before attempting maintenance for any electrical
or moving parts. Do not place hands, head, or any part of the body inside the
confines of the machine unless the mechanism is securely restrained and the
electrical supply is shut off.
•Do not attempt to open or work on the electrical box, junction boxes or other
electrical components of the unit without first disconnecting power to the machine.
Electrical shock hazard exists if power is not disconnected.
•Do not tamper with electrical wiring. Use only the specified power-supply cable. Use
only licensed electricians to check or repair electrical wiring.
•Do not bypass any factory-designed safety features such as guards, interlocks,
switches, etc.
•In order to prevent damage to the machinery or injury to personnel, do not increase
the factory settings on either the electrical or mechanical overload safety devices.
Do not operate a machine if such modifications have been made.
•Never operate this or any moving equipment without all covers and guards in place.
The internal mechanism of most packaging machinery contains numerous shear,
pinch, and in-running nip points, many of which are capable of causing severe injury
and permanent disfiguration.
•Keep hands away from moving conveyors and moving parts. Conveyor belts that
have become worn or frayed can be hazardous and should be replaced promptly.

8Introduction
•Do not stand or climb on any part of the Auto L-Sealer or frame or guards. Never
provide service or attempt to clear a jam when the machine is running.
•To minimize the potential for personal injury, always be sure that the machine
operators and others working on the machinery are properly trained in the correct
usage of the equipment and properly instructed regarding the safety procedures for
operation.
•Heat sealing arms and jaws on packaging machinery can become very hot after a
period of use. Keep hands away while in operation and use caution if the machine
has been running recently. If optional cutting blades have been installed, these can
be very sharp. Exercise caution.
•Do not make any modifications to either the electrical circuitry or the mechanical
assemblies of this machinery. Such modifications may introduce hazards that would
not otherwise be associated with this machinery. Eastey will not be responsible for
any consequences resulting from such unauthorized modification. Do not operate a
machine if any modification has been made.
•This equipment is designed for indoor operation in a typical clean, dry factory
environment. Do not operate the machine in any extremely wet or oily environment
that may exceed operating specifications. Pneumatic equipment requires a clean
and dry supply of air maintained at specified pressure for operation.
•The use of certain types of plastic films in sealing and/or shrink-wrapping equipment
may result in the release of hazardous fumes due to degradation of the film at high
temperatures. Before using any plastic film in this equipment, the manufacturer or
supplier of the film should be contacted for specific information concerning the
potential release of hazardous fumes. Adequate ventilation should be provided at all
times.
•Keep combustible materials away from this equipment. The equipment may be a
source of ignition.
•Do not wear loose clothing such as ties, scarves, jewelry, etc. Long hair should be
pulled back and/or covered while operating this machine.

electrician to open the door or cover of the electrical panel or box. Shut
off electrical power before attempting to open or work in the electrical box,
junction boxes, or other electrical components of the unit.
Ground symbol. Indicates ground. Use Class-3 (lower than 1000) cable
to ground to earth. Incomplete grounding may lead to electrical shock.
Cut or shear hazard. Do not place your hands or any object on the
sealin
g or cutting zone at any time. Shut down the machine before
performing maintenance, parts replacement, or troubleshooting in these
zones.
Pinch hazard. Do not place your hands or any object on the moving
mechanism. Shut down the machine before perfor
ming maintenance,
repair, or adjustment.
Crush hazard. Do not place your hands or any object on the moving
mechanism. Shut down the machine before doing any maintenance,
repair, or adjustment.
High temperature hazard. Do not touch or place hands close to the
heating source to avoid burns. Proceed with any maintenance only when
the temperature of the heater or other heat source has cooled down to
room temperature.
Moisture hazard. Keep equipment dry. This equipment is designed for
indoor operation in a typical clean, dry factory environment, protected
from rain and moisture. Do not operate the machine in any extremely wet
or oily environment that may exceed operating specifications.

10 Introduction
Introduction
General System Description
*Depending on power requirements of your sealer, a main power disconnect switch may be installed on
the other side of the L-Sealer/Exit Conveyor module, not visible from this view.
The Eastey EA Auto L-Sealer Professional Series consists of three main modules,
which may be shipped and moved independently, but which must be aligned and
synchronized to work together when placed in the final working location.
The three main modules of the Eastey EA Auto L-Sealer Professional Series are:
1. The L-Sealer and Exit Conveyor are one unit.
2. The Film Unwinder/Perforator, Infeed Conveyor, and Film Inverter are one unit.
3. The Scrap Uptake Winding Spool is a separate unit.
The Scrap Take-Up Winding Spool, which is shown winding scrap as it feeds out from
the side of the L-Sealer in the above illustration, may be repositioned at the exit end as
an option, in which case an external elbow is installed redirect exiting scrap.
