Microwswitch Adjustment
Sometimes the microswitch (also called the trigger switch) is moved out of alignment (during shipment or
sharp movements) and needs a simple adjustment to get the unit back to proper working order.
Check for the "Click"
The microswitch activates the electrical current to heat the element. When the sealing arm meets the base of
the sealer, the microswitch will activate. User should hear the "click" of the microswitch activation. If the
"click" is intermittent, this means the microswitch is not triggered and no electrical current is passing
through.
How to Make Adjustments
1. Before operating, turn off unit and unplug.
2. Locate the microswitch which is located at the front of the body. Carefully remove the cover in
order to access the microswitch.
