TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
• Select the film(s) that you will use on the top (and
bottom) of the images.
• Check which temperature setting is recommended for
your SEAL
®
Brands material (see literature enclosed in
your material box).
• Refer to the Control Panel diagrams for information
on setting the temperature.
NOTE: If a process requires heat, turn ON the heaters
approximately 45 minutes before use to ensure that the
rollers are at the correct operating temperature.
IMPORTANT! The main roller should be down and
turning to prevent uneven hot spots on the roller. A
stationary heated roller will develop concentrated heat
in one area, which will damage the roller.
SHIM WHEEL SETTINGS
Whenever you mount onto a board, etc., it is important
to adjust the rollers to create a gap nearly equal to the
thickness of the board being used. This is done so that
anything passing between the rollers will receive the right
amount of pressure.

HOW TO SET THE SHIM WHEELS
• First, determine the thickness of the board that you will
use for mounting.
• You must first raise the rollers and then turn the shim
wheels until the desired measurement corresponds with
the thickness of board being used.
WARNING! Too much pressure can crush the board
being used and even damage the top and bottom
rollers. Normally, a press of .025" (0.6mm) is
sufficient.
