Sealing procedure with pre-finished film bags
CAUTION
Danger of burns from hot metal parts. The sealing rail is heated continuously when the
sealing device is switched on.
n
Never touch the metal surfaces on the sealing rail and in the area of the rear and fore paper
guide directly.
NOTICE
Inserting the packaging inverted can result in the adhesion of film residue to the sealing
rail.
The film side of the packaging must always face upwards.
PLEASE NOTE
When sealing MELAfol bags with a side gusset, ensure compliance with the
manufacturer’s specifications (e.g. the operating manual of MELAfol) especially when
wishing to seal cassettes.
In order to perform a sealing procedure with a prefabricated film bag, proceed as follows:
1.
Lead the packaging (the film side facing upwards)
from the front into the paper guide between the
pressure and sealing rail. Ensure maintenance of the
correct clearance between the instrument and seal
seam (see
[
page 37]).
2.
Press the sealing lever down until it latches.
