Before using the Industrial Shrink Wrap System, carefully
read all of the instructions. Pay close attention to safety
guidelines and warnings included for your protection.
Save these instructions for future reference.
WARNINGS FOR SHRINK WRAP SYSTEM
(SEALER AND HEATGUN):
• Make sure the work area is clean and dry before
using the sealer. This is an electrical appliance and
can be a potential shock or fire hazard, especially if
operated near refuse or in a wet environment.
• Only use system with standard 115 volt 15 amp
wall receptacle. No other form of wiring is safe or
advisable. Unplug the system after use for additional
safety precaution.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose to rain or moisture. Store indoors.
• If the sealer or heatgun stops working during
operation, fails to operate when turned on, or
otherwise ceases to function properly, turn switch to
the off position, disconnect from the power supply
and call Uline for assistance at 1-800-295-5510.
• Never attempt any repairs on the sealer or heatgun.
A qualified service technician must do all repairs.
The parts supplied in your maintenance parts kit are
for maintenance of the machine to keep it in good
operating condition and are an exception to this
rule.
• Inspect power cords periodically and if damaged
or defective, have repaired by a qualified service
technician. Extension cords are not recommended,
however if one is used it must be a U.L. listed three-
wire extension cord with a three-prong grounding
plug and a rated capacity of 1800 watts or greater
(14 gauge or heavier for up to 25 ft. and 12 gauge
if cord is longer). Inspect cord carefully before
using and never use a cord that shows any sign of
damage or defect.
• Never yank the cord from an electrical outlet or use
it to tie down the arm or for any other purpose other
than that for which it was intended.
• Guard against electric shock by preventing contact
with grounded surfaces or other appliances.
• Keep children and visitors away from the work area,
the sealer and its accessories.
• Keep work area well lighted.
• Never try to seal anything other than plastic films
intended for use on this sealer.
• Never use the sealer after partial failure.
• Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry. Wear
non-skid footwear and a protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
• Always wear eye protection and protective work
gloves.
• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
• Never use the sealer or heatgun near anything
that is or could be considered combustible or
flammable materials or gases. Always check your
work area carefully; materials or gases that may
ignite may not be readily apparent and could result
in property damage and personal injury.
• Never use the sealer or heatgun after recently
pumping gasoline or using any other combustible
gas or liquid; fumes or residue may still be on your
skin or in your clothing.
WARNINGS SPECIFIC TO THE SEALER:
(IN ADDITION TO SYSTEM WARNINGS)
• A live heating element is located on the underside
of the arm under the Teflon tape. Use caution during
operation. DO NOT TOUCH THE ELEMENT.
• Turn sealer off and disconnect (unplug) the sealer
when not in use. Avoid unintentional starting. A
sealer that is plugged in and left on could start and
burn if the arm came down due to a broken spring
or if something fell on the arm.
• If arm spring breaks, turn sealer off, disconnect
from power supply immediately and call Uline for
assistance at 1-800-295-5510.
• Only use AC outlet on side of machine with
accessories intended for that purpose and rated
to the capacity listed by the outlet. Specifically; an
industrial heatgun.
• Only use fuse of capacity listed by the fuseholder.
