American International Electric Cutter Impulse Hand Sealer

Overview

This impulse sealer serves the crucial purpose of securing a hermetic seal, providing effective waterproof and airtight packaging. Additionally, it will cut away excess material ¼ inch from the seal.

Key Characteristics

• Compact Design
• Strong Watertight Seal
• Fast Operating
• Power Saving
• Precision Electronic Circuit
• Industrial durability

Operating Instructions

1. Plug the cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The machine will operate only when the sealing arm is completely depressed.
2. Adjust the sealing timer knob to a suitable time based on your sealing bag thickness and material on a scale of 1-8 (it is recommended to use the smallest timer number possible while still sealing the bag).
3. Insert the bag between the jaws and press the handle down. Maintain pressure while the light is active. Continue to maintain pressure after the light is off for approximately the same time as the heat cycle for the congealing phase. A longer congealing phase will provide a more secure and consistent seal.
   • If the bag sticks to the silicon rubber, the bag needs a longer congealing phase.
   • The timer knob does not need to be adjusted once it is calibrated.
4. Check the seal. If the seal isn't tight, raise the timer knob to a higher setting and repeat step 3.
5. Blade Cutter Option: Slide the red tab on the top of the sealer arm to cut away the excess material.
6. Power is not consumed when the machine is plugged in until it is in use.

Notes

• Always keep the sealing platform clean. Cleaning excess residue will improve the longevity of the heating element, PTFE cloth strips, and silicon rubber.
• Do not use moisture or harsh cleaning solutions to clean the sealing surface.
• Replace the torn PTFE cloth immediately. A torn cloth may cause a short circuit and will damage the element wire. Every time you replace the heating element, replace the lower and upper PTFE cloth.
• Only use genuine replacement parts.
• A worn silicon rubber will negatively influence the seal; change the silicon when worn, burnt, or if grooves or indents are present.
• Always unplug the cord from the electrical outlet when servicing your machine.

Changing Parts

To replace the cutting blade

Slide the cutter toward the slot near the handle.

1. Lift the slider up and out.
2. Loosen only the screw and remove the blade with pliers.
3. Replace with a new blade, re-tighten the screw, and reinsert the holder in the slot near the handle.

To replace the heat element wire

1. Loosen the screws that will loosen the metal plate (#9).
2. Lift up or take off the upper PTFE (#11). Replace it if burned through.
3. Remove the damaged heating element wire (#12).
4. Note: Check if the lower PTFE (#10) is burnt or damaged. Replace it if necessary. Make sure it covers the element bottom entirely. This PTFE is very important for protecting your machine by insulating the wire and separating the element wire from the metal of the machine.
5. Attach a new element wire, reattach the upper PTFE, and reattach the metal plate.

Parts Diagram

The document includes two diagrams illustrating the impulse sealer:

Figure 1: External View

This figure shows the impulse sealer from the side. Key components visible and labeled with numbers (1-24) include the sealing arm, heating element, PTFE cloth, blade cutter mechanism (with a red tab), timer adjustment knob, and the main body of the machine.

Figure 2: Internal Components

This figure displays the internal layout of the impulse sealer. It shows components such as the transformer (TR), a circuit board labeled "TIMER PCB", relays (a/RELAY), capacitors (e.g., 4.7 µF/450V, 10µF/50V), resistors (e.g., 6.8kΩ, 820Ω, 250kΩ), a zener diode (6.2V ZENER), a transistor (CR02AM), and an LED, all connected with various wires and labeled with numbers (19-23).

Electrical Connection Diagram

The electrical connection diagram illustrates the wiring for the impulse sealer. It shows the AC power source connected through a transformer (TR) to the heating element. A relay (a/RELAY) and a timer printed circuit board (TIMER PCB) control the heating cycle. The timer PCB includes components such as capacitors (4.7 µF/450V, 10µF/50V), resistors (6.8kΩ, 820Ω, 250kΩ), integrated circuits (IN4007), a zener diode (6.2V ZENER), and a transistor (CR02AM). An LED is also shown, likely indicating power or operational status. The diagram details the flow of power and control signals to ensure proper sealing operation.
