Never touch the heating elements with bare hand while the sealer is plugged into a power source,
in operation or just finished operation. Touching heated areas may cause fire and/or severe burns.
The blade found on the I-Bar Sealer w/ Cutter is very sharp. Use extreme
caution when handling or changing the blade.
While machine is in operation, do not place fingers, tools, or other foreign objects on or into the
machine. Do not place hands or fingers near pinch points. Do not touch machine while it is in
operation. Perform all procedures carefully and watch where hands and fingers are at all times.
The sealer is not water resistant or water proof. Spraying down the machine will damage machine
or cause electrical shock. Do not submerge the sealer into water or liquid.
Do not operate sealer in a corrosive or humid environment.
Always keep the machine clean, lubricated and in good working condition. Follow any
maintenance and lubrication procedures outlined in this manual. Make sure unit is disconnected
from power source before cleaning.
NEVER use any accessories or parts from other manufacturers. Machine should not be altered or
modified using parts that are not genuine authorized parts. Doing so will VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
When replacing the heating elements, always replace the PTFE adhesive under the
heating element. A worn PTFE adhesive can cause the heating element to break.
The
PTFE adhesive works as a barrier between the body of the sealer and the element. Never allow
the element to come in direct contact with the sealer body as that will damage the timer.
Never leave the sealer unattended. Be safe, disconnect the sealer from power source before
leaving work area.
Always keep out of reach of children and pets.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is near persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge . This sealer is NOT to be used by
children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge.
Do NOT use the sealer outdoors.
Do NOT use the sealer while under the influence of drugs, medications or alcohol.

I-Bar Sealers w/ no cutter
1. Put a roll of centerfold shrink film on the film roller and feed the open part
of the film through the film separator.
2. Place product to be sealed in the film pocket.
3. Press sealing bar down and seal. This will cut and seal the film.
4. Tear the resulting bag from the rest of the film. Place the open side
between seal bars and seal the opening.
5. Use a heat gun to shrink the film evenly.
I-Bar Sealers w/ Sliding Cutter
1. Place poly tubing on the film roller and feed the open part of the film through the film separator.
2. Bring sealing arm down to seal one end of the tubing. Slide the cutting bracket across the poly
bag to cut material above the seal creating a bag.
3. Fill your bag with your material and seal the bag opening closed.
Tips for Successful Sealing
1. If the seal is broken or damaged, decrease the sealing time.
2. If the seal is not fully welded, increase the sealing time.
3. If the sealing material sticks to the sealing pad, decrease the congealing time.
4. If the width of the seal is not perfect or does not match the size of the element, increase the
congealing time.
an additional 2-3 seconds. For a high quality seal, seals must be able to cool under pressure.
We usually recommend a congeal setting of at least 2x that of the heat setting but every bag
will have variations. Thicker materials will require a longer cool (congealing) time.
When sealing/timer light turns off, keep pressing the sealing arm down for

Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be followed to ensure the longevity of your W-Series I-Bar
sealer.
Inspection and Cleaning
1. Inspect your machine daily.
2. Use a clean cloth to remove any plastic residue remaining on the top PTFE adhesive.
3. When replacing the elements, always check the condition of the bottom PTFE adhesive.
4. Check the condition of the silicone rubber for wear and burns. A damaged silicone rubber will
affect the quality of the seal.

Our W-Series I-Bar sealers will require new heating elements and PTFE from time to time. Heating
elements will break through wear and tear.

A good rule of thumb is to replace the bottom PTFE
The top PTFE adhesive prevents the plastic or
other thermoplastic material you are sealing from sticking to the heating element.
Replacement kits are available from your distributor. Kits include (2) heating elements, (4) PTFE adhesives,
and (1) blade for cutter units. For replacement kit part #s, refer to your model #.

To install your replacement kit on your sealer, turn off power and unplug sealer.
Removing Worn Parts
1. Remove the top PTFE adhesive that covers the heating element.
2. Remove the heating element by pulling the spring hook assembly down at the front of the sealer
to loosen the element from the hinge. We have found that using a screwdriver to pull the spring
hook assembly down is helpful. Release the other end of the element from the base of the sealer.

3. Remove the bottom PTFE adhesive from the sealer's arm.
Figure 5. Peelthe bottomPTFE adhesive fromthe sealer's arm.
Installing New Replacement Parts
1. Remove the backing of the liner found on the PTFE adhesive.
2. Apply the new PTFE to the sealer’s sealing arm, making sure the adhesive extends past the
red/orange acrylic plate on the metal sealing arm. (The PTFE adhesive acts a barrier between the
metal body and the heating element. Never allow the heating element to come in direct contact
with the sealer’s body because it will damage the timer.)
A good rule of thumb is the replace
the bottom PTFE adhesive every time you change the element.
3. Attach the element to the hinge on the spring hook assembly at the base of the sealer. Attach the
other end of the element to the hinge of the spring hook assembly at the front of the sealer. Push
the spring hook assembly back into the arm of the sealer.
Figure 6. Attach other end of element to the spring hook assembly at
the front of the sealing arm.
4. Place another piece of PTFE adhesive over the heating element. This adhesive will prevent any
thermoplastic from sticking to the heating element.

Removing and Replacing Cutter Blades (IC models only)
1. Remove the cutting blade bracket from the silicone bracket. Remove the screw, washers and
spacer from the silicone bracket. Slide the cutting bracket out.
Figure 7. Unscrew the silicone bracket and remove screw, washer
and spacers.
2. Remove the cutter protector and carefully remove the old blade.
Figure 8. Slide the cuttingbracket out.
The blade
found on the I-Bar sealer with cutter is very sharp. Use extreme caution when handling or
changing the blade.
Figure 9. Remove cutter protector.
Figure10. Carefully remove the old blade.
3. Replace the old blade with a new blade. Replace cutter protector and screw back into place.
4. Slide the cutting bracket back on the silicone bracket. Install the spacer, washer and screw to hold
the silicone bracket in place.
