IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY
The development of a good safety program, that is rigidly
enforced, is absolutely imperative when involved in the operation of
industrial equipment. Our machinery is well designed and includes
extremely important safety features. The part you the user play
through proper installation and maintenance procedures is of far
greater significance than our designs. Only properly trained
individuals following rigidly enforced safety rules, as recommended
by A.N.S.I. and O.S.H.A., should be allowed to operate these
machines.

UNPACKING
THOROUGHLY INSPECT EQUIPMENT UPON ARRIVAL.
If goods are received short or in a damaged condition, it
is important that you notify the carrier’s driver before he leaves
your company and insist on a notation of the loss or damage
across the face of the freight bill. Unless this is done, no claim can
be enforced against the transportation company.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify the
carrier at once and insist on an inspection. This is absolutely
necessary! A concealed damage report must be made no later than
five (5) days from the date the shipment was delivered. Unless you
do this, the carrier will not consider any claim for loss or damage.
The carrier’s agent will then make an inspection and grant a
concealed damage notation. If you give the transportation company
a clear receipt for the goods that have been damaged or lost in
transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
All claims must be filed within 5 days of delivery date or
carrier will not accept them.
Sealer Sales is willing to assist in every possible manner
to collect claims for loss or damage; however, this does not hold
Sealer Sales responsible for collection on claims or replacement of
material.

Every effort has been taken to ensure your safety while
operating this machine; however, there still remain certain risks. Do
not allow this machine to be operated before informing all personnel
of the following warnings.
WARNING........
Do not tamper with the electrical wiring. Only use a

such unauthorized modifications.
WARNING........
The use of certain types of plastic films in sealing
and/or shrinking equipment may result in the release of
HAZARDOUS FUMES due to the degradation of the film at high

DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
OF
MODEL SS-48ST
DESCRIPTION
This compact “all-in-one” unit allows the operator to seal and
shrink all in one step. The operator simply places the product in the
sealing area and lowers the hood to apply the seal pressure
necessary to cut the film. Once the seal cycle is complete, the
operator releases the handle and the shrink chamber is automatically
held shut by the magnet. Once the shrink time is complete, the
chamber opens and the operator removes the finished product.
The purpose of a SS-48ST is for low to medium
volume packaging requiring excellent seals and minimal
maintenance. It features an impulse mode for sealing of films
using “Band Seal Technology.”
