Pull slide roller bar down and thread strapping over (1) and under (2). Thread strap through guide (Ref 10) until it reaches top of machine. (See Figure 2)

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Set strap feed length: Determine the length of strap needed. Set control for 0-6. Lengths listed in meters. 1 = 3 ft. of strap. Example: for 6 ft. of strapping, set the control at “2”. (See Figure 3)
Turn power ON. Allow machine to heat up 3-4 minutes. Strap won’t seal if heating blade is not hot enough. (See Figure 3)
Pre-feed the strap: Press and hold the FEED button until the desired length of strap feeds out. (See Figure 3)
NOTE: Pre-feeding is only necessary after installing a new strap coil or finishing a coil.
Strapping the package:
a. Place package on the machine against the package guide. (See Figure 4)
b. Pass strap around package and insert the strap end into the strap inlet to start the strapping tensioning and heat sealing cycle. (See Figure 5)
c. Strap tensions, heat seals and cuts. Remove package.
d. Timer resets, strap feeds out and machine is ready for the next package
Turn power OFF.

MOTOR TIMER

The timer is located on the printed circuit box (PCB Box). If your machine runs for a long time between packages, turn the timer down. If the machine is used more frequently, turn the timer up so the motor isn’t starting and stopping all the time. (See Figure 6)
