"V-301 series" vacuum sealer is provided with a vacuum pump for reducing the air in the pouch prior
to sealing.
Set the suitable pressure and heating time according to the material or thickness of film, and take
sufficient cooling time to make a beautiful and strength seal without burning or melting of film.
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. But it is not effective than what is
called as vacuum packaging.
In cases when the higher protection is required, we recommend to enclose the deoxidizer into your
package.
Preservation of foods sometimes requires refrigeration or freezing. Please don't overestimate the
freshness-keep sealing by this model.
Although this sealer keeps freshness of foods, the main purpose is protecting the contents against
scratching each other in the pouch, or lessening the volume of package to reduce the cost in
transportation.
Please make a sufficient test and take care to the various conditions to get the effective air-reduce
packaging.

SHOCK
WARNING
CAUTION
HOT
CAUTION
1 The impulse sealer is a machine which sends strong electric current quickly to the thin
ribbonheater, which presses against the film and instantly heat seals the package. Though this
machine
yields superior quality sealing, it is not compatible with films thicker than that indicated in the
diagram below, sponge-like sheet, and materials which are not able to withstand high heat.
2 Vacuum 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
into the pouch over time, negating the effectiveness of a vacuum seal.
3 Film thickness limits for the V-301 and V-301-10D are described below. The machine cannot
seal pouches which are thicker than the indicated. The machine may malfunction if you try to
exceed the limits of the machine.
Warning - Caution labels are placed in locations where there is a danger of injury to a person or
damage to the machine. Label location details are illustrated below.
Please check them before beginning operation.
Labels not readily apparent are indicated by dotted lines.
Heating method Model Heater width Film thickness

If Warning, Caution labels peel off or are lost, please purchase the
proper labels and place them in the appropriate location.

Warning 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 malfunctions.
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 release the table or turn OFF the
power.
Warning Confirm proper electric power source
Make sure power source has the specified voltage and electric
power as explained in the operating instructions. Do not use an
extension cord, as the machine may malfunction or may result
in fire. Machine will malfunction if connected to anything other
than the specified voltage.
Insert the electric power plug fully into the wall outlet.
Warning Do not pour water on the machine.
Do not splash water on the machine or use machine for
packaging liquids since machine is not waterproof. There is a
danger of electrocution or malfunction of the machine.
Warning When replacing parts, unplug the power plug
Maintenance of the machine is important. Parts should be
replaced in accordance with the operating instructions. There is
a risk of danger if the parts are not replaced properly. Before
replacing parts, unplug the machine from the power source.
Warning
Do not insert any metal objects into the sealing area
Please do not place any metal objects into the sealing area
during operation. This might cause electrocution.
Warning Do not use for pumping a liquid
Take care so that the vacuum nozzle does not draw a liquid.
(Use the optional large-volume filter for vacuum packaging of
watery items.)

Warning Do not modify the machine
Modification of the sealer or the use of unspecified parts may
not only lead to damage of the machine. but there is also a risk
of danger to the operator. Please do not tamper with machine.
Accidents or damage caused by modification by the customer
is the sole responsibility of the customer.
Caution Do not place hands in the sealing area
With prolonged use, the sealing area will retain heat and
become hot. If you place your fingers in this area, there is a
possibility of burns.
In addition, sealing pressure is very strong. Please take
sufficient care not to pinch your fingers.
Warning If the power switch automatically turns to the OFF
position
If after 4 seconds heating is not complete after it has been
initiated, the power switch will automatically turn to the OFF
position. There is a possibility of the machine malfunction.
Do not operate the machine until the cause of the shut down is
ascertained and the problem has been addressed.
Caution Run test trials first before beginning operation
Achieving a superior seal with an impulse sealer is determined
by heating / cooling /pressure strength. Depending on the type
of film being used and the contents of the bag, heating / cooling
/ pressure strength conditions may drastically differ. Find the
optimum searing conditions by conducting seal tests before
proceeding.
Caution Do not use in the following places
Do not operate machine in the following places since there is a
danger of malfunction:
1 Dusty locations
2 Locations not within normal temperature
3 Locations with high humidity
Caution Use machine properly
Read this operating instructions carefully and operate sealer
correctly. Accidents or damage caused by misuse of the
machine not in accordance with the operating instructions are
the sole responsibility of the customer.

● Heating temperature should be set at a minimum
Set sealer so that an acceptable seal is completed in the least
amount of heating time.
Excessively long heating time will damage the teflon, glass tape
and other consumables, as well as result in heating element
breakage. This will lead to decreased work productivity and
unnecessary power consumption.
● Allow sufficient cooling time
With an impulse type sealer, residual heat after the heating
cycle has been completed is dispersed through the pressure
lever and machine frame, allowing the film to set under
pressure.
Be sure to allow sufficient cooling time (above 1.5 times than
heating time) for each cycle. (Refer to the "Proper use of the
sealer" section.)
Releace the table after “P” (indication buzzer for seal
completinon) sounds.
If the table is released before the buzzer, seal performance will
be not good.
● 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.
Caution Take care with nozzle
After the sealing process, nozzle comes forward automatically.
Please take sufficient care not to put hand or face close to
nozzle, beside if the sealed pouch is still left on the sealing area,
advanced nozzle might hurt the contents.
Caution When the frame cover is opened
Inside the sealer's body, there are metal plate parts which have
sharp edge.
If the frame cover would be removed for the replacement of
parts, please take care not to be injured.
For smooth operation
