Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to effectively seal your food products:
- Position the casing: With a clip loaded, position the gathered end of the sausage casing or net between the clipper's jaws, ensuring the clip will encircle the material.
- Apply pressure: Firmly squeeze the handles of the clipper together. The specially contoured head will guide the clip to form a tight seal around the casing.
- Release: Once the clip is fully pressed and secured, release the handles. The device is designed to open automatically, allowing you to prepare for the next clip.
- Verify seal: Check the clipped area to ensure the seal is tight and secure, preventing any contents from escaping or air from entering.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your sausage clipper.
- Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly clean the clipper with warm soapy water. Use a brush if necessary to remove any food residues from the jaws and recesses.
- Rinsing: Rinse the clipper thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Dry the clipper completely with a clean cloth immediately after rinsing. Do not allow it to air dry, as this can lead to water spots or corrosion.
- Storage: Store the clean and dry clipper in a dry place, away from excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
