OPERATING PROCEDURE

1. To turn the machine on plug in the power

cord. Wait 40 minutes to allow the heated upper
platen to reach temperature.

2. Place a tray in the tray carrier.

retractable pins on the tray carrier to center
the lids over the tray. Be sure the adhesive

side of the lid is down.

determined by pinching a fold and rubbing the
lid material against itself. Test both sides of the

platen lifts back to the open position, the tray
carrier will automatically reopen.

NOTE

• Actuating machine with no tray or lid a in
place may cause the tray carrier to stick closed.

bottom of the tray with your hand and lift from
