IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Do not wear any loose clothing or jewelry when operating the machine.
2. Keep cleaning materials, rags and cleaners away from machine while in operation.
3. Keep open blade knives away from rollers at all times.
4. Do not allow children to operate machine, unless supervised by an adult.
5. Keep clear of the heated rollers as they are hot and can cause burns.
6. Make sure the power is connected by a licensed electrician.
7. Do not disassemble back panel, unless authorized or instructed to do so by a qualified Seal technician 

or 3rd party representative.

8. Do not use the machine for any other purpose than as stated herein…failure to do so may cause 

bodily harm or other injury. 

MAINTENANCE

1. Clean the exterior of the machine with Simple Green™ available from your local grocer.
2. Clean the rubber roller surface with a lint free cloth and warm water (or denatured alcohol).
3. Clean the Teflon coated rollers with a lint free cloth and warm water.  Do not use alcohol or any other 

solvent based cleaner of any kind on this roller. 

4. Ensure that the chain does not have more than 3 mm play top to bottom when pinched in the middle.
5. Grease the chain every 6 months with lithium based (white) grease.

TIPS & TRICKS

1. Do NOT Allow the machine to run with only one roll of film installed.  The melted resin will adhere to one 

roller and ruin future laminations.

2. The width of film should be bigger than the material being laminated/encapsulated.
3. Away use a leader card to web the laminator when cold.
4. To save time, hot splicing films onto existing films is the best and easiest way  to web  the laminator.
5. When needing to laminate a substrate on two sides it is not necessary to un web the machine, simply 

set the nip to the appropriate thickness setting and insert the substrate, being sure to trim the film 
between the main nip rollers and the pull rolls beginning to process image.
