CLEANING
The machine does not require special care. However, it is
advisable to remove any residue from the sealing head and
silicone rubber before it burns on. Use a damp, wet cloth to
clean. Do not use cleaning products that contain solvents.
REPLACING WORN PARTS
Only use Uline replacement parts.
REPLACING THE PTFE TAPE AND SEALING WIRE
To replace the PTFE tape and sealing wire:
1. Remove upper PTFE tape and unscrew fastening screws
on side of sealing bar. (See Figure 4A)
2. Lift out the sealing bar and loosen the connections on
both ends. (See Figure 4B)
3. Pull off the plugs, let the wires hang in the side hole
(See Figure 4C)
4. Remove PTFE tape attached to machine and replace with
new one. (See Figure 4)
NOTE: When changing the PTFE tape, always ensure
the tape under the sealing wire is intact. While
changing the sealing wire, it is advisable to install
the protective cap backwards on the sealing wire
tensioning unit.
WARNING! For safety, used or burned PTFE tape
should be replaced immediately.
WARNING! To prevent an electrical short, cut each
side of lower self adhesive PTFE tape 4 mm
(about
1/8")
longer than the aluminum side panel of
the machine.
(See Figure 4D)
WARNING! Never apply tape to the surface of the
sealing wire. It must move freely under the upper
PTFE strap. (Only a portion of the upper strap is
treated with adhesive.)
REPLACING THE SILICONE RUBBER
P
ull out the damaged or burned silicone rubber from sealing
bar and clip in the new silicone rubber. (See Figure 5)
When installing the silicone rubber, observe the direction of
the profile.
