c) Sealing a sack

• Hold rmly one end of the sack and set the handheld vacuum sealer in position (gure 1, ar-

row 1). At that, keep some distance to the device. Press on the cover and wait for 3 seconds until the product preheats.

• Slide the handheld vacuum sealer along the sack to seal it (gure 2); always keep the cover

closed. The speed of movement depends on the thickness of the bag. Sealing process for 20 cm

section should last about 5 to 7 seconds.

• As soon as you have nished on the right-hand side (gure 2), turn the sack around and place

the sealer onto the part that has not been sealed yet (gure 3, arrow 2).

• Preheat it again for 3 seconds and seal the remaining part of the sack. Before you seal the sack completely, it is advisable to remove the air out of it.

• Now the sack is water and airtight sealed.

Whenever you stop operation, please remember to preheat the device for 3 seconds

thereafter.

The bag is either just sealed or cut and sealed depending on the thickness of the

bag and sealing speed. Thus, you can decide by yourself whether your bag should or should not be cut.

If you are a left-hander, just seal the bag in a reverse direction. See gure above,

3 small gures shown bottom left.

• After you have nished using the product, slide the switch from the “Seal” to “Lock” position.

d) Sealing a bag from thicker lm or aluminium foil

• Hold again rmly one end of the sack and set the handheld lm sealing unit in position (-

gure 4, arrow 1). At that, keep some distance to the device. Press on the cover and wait for 3 seconds until the product preheats.

• Slide the handheld vacuum sealer along the sack to seal it (gure 5); always keep the cover

closed. The speed of movement depends on the thickness of the sack.

• As soon as you have nished on the right-hand side (gure 5), turn the sack around and place

the sealer onto the part that has not been sealed yet (gure 3, arrow 2).

• Preheat it again for 3 seconds and seal the remaining part of the sack. At that, tack the rst

weld seam. Before you seal the sack completely, it is advisable to remove the air out of it.

• Now the sack is water- and airtight sealed. Whenever you stop operation, please remember to preheat the device for 3 seconds

thereafter.

Thicker sacks or bags from aluminium foil are just sealed, but not cut. However, it

depends on the thickness of the bag and sealing speed again.

If you are left-handed, just seal the bag in a reverse direction. See again the 3 small

gures shown bottom left.

• After you have nished using the product, slide the switch from the “Seal” to “Lock” position.

e) Tips and Notes

• If you want to weld bags or sacks consisting of different materials or feature different

thickness‘s, just change the preheat time. Besides, you can repeat preheating in the course of the sealing operation.

• When preheated for 3 seconds, the heating element reaches the temperature of approx.

160 °C. You can increase the preheat time for max. 30 seconds.

• Due to built-in magnets on the underside of the product, you can attach it to any magnetic

metal surface.
