completely open position. Insert the seal wire
changing tools (shipped with the accessories
for your Sharp SX
TM
in the accompanying box)
into the stripper plate as shown in Figure 3-
330.
4. Remove the two mounting screws for the seal
wire. Install the new seal wire as shown, with
the open ends of the hooks to the bottom of the
machine
. The tapered, profile side of the
seal wire is to be exposed, to the outside of
the machine (
Figure 3-331)
.
5. Remove the seal wire changing tools from the
stripper plate.
6. Remove the adhesive backing from a new strip
of Teflon tape, and place over the seal wire,
ensuring it is completely covering the wire.
7. Reinstall the front lexan guard.
Teflon Tape
The Teflon tape covers the seal wire and does not
allow the seal wire to contact the bag while sealing.
Periodic replacement of the seal wire produces
better seals and allows the bag to release from the
sealpoint during operation. To replace the Teflon
tape, simply peel the old strip from the front of the
machine, remove the adhesive backing from the
new strip, and place over the seal wire, being sure
to completely cover the metal element (Figure 3-
332).
