TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

Select the film(s) that you will use on the top (and bottom) of the images.

Check which temperature setting is recommended for your SEAL® Brands material (see literature enclosed in your material box).

Refer to the Control Panel diagrams for information on setting the temperature.

NOTE: If a process requires heat, turn ON the heaters approximately 45 minutes before use to ensure that the rollers are at the correct operating temperature.

IMPORTANT! The main roller should be down and turning to prevent uneven hot spots on the roller. A stationary heated roller will develop concentrated heat in one area, which will damage the roller.

HOW TO SET THE SHIM WHEELS

First, determine the thickness of the board that you will use for mounting.

You must first raise the rollers and then turn the shim wheels until the desired measurement corresponds with the thickness of board being used.

WARNING! Too much pressure can crush the board being used and even damage the top and bottom rollers. Normally, a press of .025" (0.6mm) is sufficient.

SHIM WHEEL SETTINGS

Whenever you mount onto a board, etc., it is important to adjust the rollers to create a gap nearly equal to the thickness of the board being used. This is done so that anything passing between the rollers will receive the right amount of pressure.
