Safety Instructions

Before using your new Traco SuperSealer, please take a few minutes to carefully read all the instructions. Pay
close attention to safety guidelines and warnings included for your protection.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

!

WARNINGS for SuperSealer system
(sealer & heatgun):

!

Know your work environment. Make sure 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.

!

Never operate the machine barefoot. Doing so greatly
increases your risk of electrical shock.

!

The SuperSealer system should only be connected to a
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.

!

Stay alert! Always pay attention to the work at hand and use
common sense when operating this and all tools. Do not
operate the sealer when you are tired or taking medication or
drugs that may make you drowsy.

!

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 a qualified service technician.

!

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
may be 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 and the
sealer and its accessories.

!

Keep work area well lighted.

!

Always store sealer in a safe place, out of the reach of
children.

!

Never try to seal anything other than plastic shrink 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.

03080101SSMANPDF

Always wear eye protection and protective work gloves at

all times.

!

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 falls
on the arm.

!

If arm spring breaks, turn sealer off, disconnect from the
power supply immediately and call a qualified service
technician.

!

Only use the 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 fuse holder.

SEALER CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS:

!

Never use anything abrasive to clean the heating element.
(i.e., steel wool, emery cloth or board, etc.) These can
damage the wire & cause premature breakage.

!

To clean the heating wire - first remove the pad from the
channel under the arm. Then pull the arm down and allow
the residue to burn off the arm. Wipe anything still clinging to
the arm off with a piece of cardboard. After the wire has
cooled & is visibly clean, cover with a new piece of 3 mil
Teflon tape. NOTE: Teflon tape over the wire is only required
when using PVC Shrink film or Polyethylene to prevent build­up on wire and excessive smoking. When using Polyolefin
type films it is not required or suggested. The 10 mil Teflon
tape on the sealing pad is always required for every
application.

!

To clean other exterior parts of the sealer, any non­flammable spray cleaner will suffice.

!

Cleaning the internal sealer parts is not suggested or
advised.

!

If Teflon tape appears to be burned, worn or damaged,
replace with a new piece of tape.
