Maintenance 27
Cleaning
The machine will require occasional cleaning.
1. After daily operation, carefully wipe the sealing cutter clean with a ball of
accumulated scrap sealing film.
2. The machine is not designed or built for waterproof function. When cleaning the
machine, use only a clean cloth, lightly dampened if necessary, to clean exterior
surfaces. Use a ball of accumulated scrap sealing film to clean the seal heads
occasionally as required. DO NOT splash water or other fluids on or into the
machine.
3. Avoid contact with liquid acid or gas, or other corrosives.
Silicone Rubber Seal Pad Replacement
Occasionally it will be necessary to replace the silicone rubber seal pads. Seal pads are
designed with a channel to make them easy to install and replace. Seal pads should be
replaced if the following symptoms are observed.
•
Gaps in the seal
•
Weak seals
•
Improper film cutoff
•
Excessive sealing pressure required
To replace a silicone rubber seal pad, pull the old pad out of the channel and replace
with the new silicone rubber seal pad, pressing it into place in the channel.
NOTE: Some silicone rubber seal pads come covered in talcum powder.
If so, clean the pads with a mild solvent.
