ABOUT V-300
The model V-300 &V-300-10D vecuum sealer is provided with a vacuum pump for reducing the air
in the pouch prior to sealing. Compared with conventional sealers, the additional function of removing
air from the package can increase the life of foods and prevent oxidation of metal parts, as well as
protecting parts against scratching cach other in the pouch.
In cases where high protection is required, it is recommended that a doexidizer or dessicant should
be used in conjunction with the vacuum seal.
Preservation of foods sometimes requires refrigeration, gas flushing, etc. Please check food
regulations for the proper method.
Remenber, laminated material should be used when vacuum sealing is necessary. Before carrying
out your packaging work, please do a number of tests to determine what the best are settings.

４ HEATING METHOD AND FILM THICKNESS FOR SEALING
Warning/Caution labels are on the place where there is a possibility of machine damage
or human injury. Please take note of the position of the labels before operating.
1 The impulse sealer is a machine which sends strong electric current quickly to the
thin ribbon heater, which presses against the film and instantly heat seals packages.
Though this machine yields superior quality sealing, it is not compatible with thick films,
sponge-like sheets, and materials which are not able to withstand high heat.

2Vacuum packaging requires a laminated pouch made with high-barrier property materials
such as nylon-based films. Using films with low gas barrier properties will allow air to seep

Warning
1 In an emergency, unplug the power cord immediately
This sealer incorporates a number of safety devices and is carefully
designed to prevent fires or other malfunction. However, should all of
the safety devices fail simultaneously, there is a possibility of the teflon
catching fire due to a failure of the heating circuit's tripping mechanism
that results in the heating element overheating. Should smoke or fire
appear from the teflon, immediately turn OFF the power or unplug the
Warning
2 The power consumption varies according to the machine type.
Check that the capacity of the outlet is larger than the power
consumption of the sealer, and plug it firmly into the outlet. Use of
an outlet with a smaller capacity or an extension cord causes a drop
in voltage, resulting in malfunction or even fire, be sure to use an
appropriate outlet.

Warning
3 Do not splash water
Since this machine is not water proof, do not splash water on the
machine and not seal the pouch which contains liquid. It may cause
electric shock or damager.
Warning
4 Do not insert any metal objects into the sealing area
If any metal objects are inserted into the sealing area, they may
come into contact with the heater causing an electrical shock hazard.
Warning
5 When replacing routine parts, unplug the power plug
Routine maintenance parts will wear as you use your sealer. Perform
periodical checks of them and set-up an appropriate maintenance schedule.
Parts should be replaced in accordance with "Parts Replacement" on the page
of instruction manual and perform the steps correctly. Before replacing parts,

8 If the power switch automatically turns to the OFF position and the
machine shuts down, do not use the machine.
The power switch turns off automatically if the heating does not stop
within 4 seconds. Until investigation the cause of the machine shutting
down and repairs have been made, do not operate the machine.
Caution
9 Do not operate the machine in the following places.
The machine has a possibility of damager if you use in the
following places:
1 A place full of dust or powder.
2 A place of extreme temperature.
3 A place with high humidity
Caution
10 Do not place your hand in the sealing area
With prolonged use, the sealing area will become hot. You may burn
if you touch this.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers in the sealing area. Pressure is
applied to the sealing area.

unnecessarily) will damage the Teflon, glass tape and other consumables,
as well as result in heating element breakage. This will lead to decreased

2 Allow sufficient cooling time
Cooling temperature is important when using an impulse sealer. After
the film is heated, the film must be cooled with the frame and pressure
lever in the closed position. If cooling temperature is extremely lower,
the working efficiency will come down. So please set the appropriate
cooling temperature according with the film. Set the cooling time more
3 When the teflon, Silicone rubber becomes damaged
The teflon, silicone rubber will start to wear with use. Once they are
damaged, it will be difficult to achieve smooth and strong seals.
Thoroughly read how to replace the parts and be careful when doing so.
4 Prolonged operation
The temperature of sealing section will become high if the machine is
operated for a long time. Since sealing conditions will change, shorten
the heating time and lengthen cooling time appropriately.
5 Adjust sealing presure to make tight seal.
Follow the instruction to adjust sealing pressure, see the page 22.
6 Dust in the sealing area.
Dust will prevent attainment of a smooth seal. It will also cause
damager to parts of the heater.
Before using the machine, clean the sealing area.
７ When vacuum sealing liquids or powders, regular maintenance of
the nozzle is necessary.
Particularly when sealing sticky liquids, the nozzle should be regularly
flushed with water and allowed to air dry. When flushing the nozzle,
water will pass through the filter and be discharged outside the unit,
so please ready a container to catch the water coming from the hose.
If the blockage in the nozzle is particularly severe, refer to the
instructions on page 21 on how to remove the nozzle. Remove as
illustrated and clean thoroughly.

Fuji Impulse sealers utilize an impulse heating system, meaning that
the heater section does not become hot simply because the power has
been turned on.
Please note, however, the sealing section may become hot after prolonged

you do not take enough cooling time as
described in the instructions.

screw which holds the frame cover and lift
it off.
2 Remove the IN hose from the air filter elbow
joint and set it so that it sticks out of the
machine frame.
3 Plug the OUT hose into the air filter elbow
joint which was connected to the IN hose.

10 How to remove the hoses
When removing the vacuum/flushing air lines,
pull the hose while pushing on the release ring
around the elbow joint (this is unnecessary when
plugging in the hoses).
The check-valve-action of the collet will prevent
the hoses from slipping out. The leak-proof seal is
thanks to a V-type seal.
Caution
When the hose is only partially plugged in (under
18mm). it may cause an air leak and weaken the
vacuum. Make sure the hose is plugged in firmly.
The V-300 not only removes air, but can flush it as well. It is as simple as reversing the air hose
lines on the vacuum pump. The procedure for chaning the hose connections is detailed below.
