and afterwards for 1-2 seconds so that the film cools down. Cut the film
then lift the handle to default position.
For the appropriate operation of the machine it is
necessary to read and fully understand the entire
instruction manual.
5. Setup and operation of the machine
5.1. To-do before operation
Before starting the operation check that the machine is intact.
Do not use the machine if the connection plug, the
cables or any other parts are damaged. Electric shock
hazard!
5.2. Electric connection
Before connecting the machine to the electricity make sure that the
electricity voltage is identical to the voltage value of the data table (see:
Figure 1) on the back of the machine and that the grounded complies with
the safety provisions. In case of any doubts please refer to the local
Electricity Supplier.
Figure 3 Grounded electric plug
FOLLOW THE SAFETY REGULATIONS OF THE WORKPLACE.
NEVER USE THE MACHINE WITHOUT GROUNDING.

7
5.3. Setup
The machine is ready for operation after it is connected to the electricity
network. The yellow light of the LED (lamp) indicates the ready state.
(Figure 4 “a”).
The correct sealing time should be set referring to the type and width
of the used film. For effecting a trial sealing set the sealing time regulatory
button (Figure 4 “b”) to the lowest setting (1). Place the film between the
sealing head and the sealing electrode. Close the sealing head and wait
for the end of the sealing time while continuously pushing it down. During
sealing the light of the LED (lamp) (Figure 4 “a”) changes from yellow to
red. In order to achieve a perfect seal it is advisable to keep the handle
down for a few seconds after the sealing ends so that the seal cools down
under pressure and becomes extremely solid. After the cool down time lift
the handle and the seal is ready.
Figure 4 Operation setting
If the sealing of the film is not perfect or the bag is not sealed properly,
the sealing time has to be increased by changing the sealing time
regulatory button (Figure 4 “b”) to a higher setting.
The trial sealing always has to be carried out at a low setting and if
necessary the value needs to be increased by small steps. Sealing carried

8
out at a higher temperature than necessary, may result in the premature
wear of parts and the excessive melting of packaging material.
Never eld ithout film.
5.4. The use of the cutting knife
The knife is pulled back by a spring for safety reasons. By pressing
down the knife and moving it back and forth the film can be cut during the
sealing time. With the same operation, bags can be prepared from a film
roll (tube film).
Note: In order to achieve the best cutting result press the head of the
knife down at the middle of the film which is sealed and push forward and
backwards. This can prevent the breaking of film at the sides. (Figure 5).
Figure 5 Correct cutting technique
Never press do n the knife head hen the sealing bar is
open as the sharp knife may cause injuries. Before each use
