Operation

1. It is recommended that you review the "How to

Apply Instructions" (on our Product

Information Sheet) before beginning heat

sealing operations.

2. Turn the power on by pressing the POWER

button on the controller.

3. Set desired temperature and time. Swing the

upper platen arm to its fully open position,

away from lower platen.

4. Allow the machine to warm up until the

selected temperature is reached.

5. Set the desired pressure by adjusting the

pressure adjust lever on the top of the

machine. To increase pressure, pull lever

forward.

6. Place the substrate on lower platen, smoothing

out all wrinkles.

7. Position transfer or lettering on substrate.

8. Swing the upper arm into position directly over

the lower platen.

9. Close machine by pulling handle down into

locked position.

10. The timer will start automatically and a buzzer

will beep at the end of the time cycle.

11. Lift safety lock and pull handle up slowly and

move upper platen handle to its full open

position. This technique will avoid transfer

paper (cover) from being pulled off

prematurely due to suction from the separating

platens.

NOTE

For safety purposes, it is necessary to

push the handle into the locked position

after it is lifted. This will eliminate the

accidental lowering of the heat platen

handle.

12. Swing away arm to the extreme right hand

position and remove substrate.

Operation Timer/Temperature Control

Solid State Controller

This controller has three (3) control features:

1. Temperature - Temperature may be set from

225-450°F (107-232°C).

2. Time - Time may be set from 1 second to 10

minutes.

3. Counter - Cycle counter counts the number

of applications from 1 to 9999 (see additional

Notes - Counter).

Controller Operation

1. If the temperature is not being displayed,

press the MODE button until temperature is

displayed.

2. Push and hold SET button and

simultaneously push UP (↑) or DOWN (↓)

arrow buttons to the desired temperature

setting.

3. Press the MODE button until time is

displayed.

4. Push and hold SET button and

simultaneously push UP (↑) or DOWN (↓)

arrow buttons to the desired timer setting.

Preventive Maintenance Suggestions

The IGS heat seal machines are relatively

maintenance free. For long trouble-free life, the

following preventive maintenance should be

followed:

1. Do not heat seal items such as buttons, pins,

snaps, or zippers that tend to cut the silicone

rubber pad or scratch the Teflon heat platen.

2. Periodically clean the Teflon-coated heat platen

with a non-abrasive piece of cloth. Stubborn

stains may be cleaned, when platen is cool,

with mineral spirits.

3. When the heat platen is hot and not in use,

keep in open position (away from the silicone

rubber pad).

4. To prevent soiling of substrate, periodic wiping

of the entire exterior machine, including

platens, with a clean rag is recommended. If

necessary, use mineral spirits for cleaning a

cold machine. Since mineral spirits are

flammable, use precautions and keep away

from sparks, flame, or hot heat platen.

5. The Model 218/228 machines require periodic

lubrication with a high-temperature, non-

melting grease (MPPL023).

A. Lubricate the post, handle and cam

assembly depending upon usage.

(Once every month if used

continuously.)

B. There are four (4) points of lubrication:

a) Post

b) Lower Cam

c) Guide Post

d) Upper Pin Area

In addition, occasionally apply a few drops of

heavy machine oil to the upper portion of the cam

assembly. To lubricate the pressure adjustment,

raise cover an inch or two and apply heavy

machine oil to slide mechanism.

General Maintenance

It is recommended that you have the following

items available:

A. Regular screw driver

B. Phillips head screw driver

C. Small adjustable wrench

D. Needle nose pliers with insulated

handle

E. Set of Allen wrenches

F. Grease gun

G. Special high temperature grease

MPPL023

With the above items you should be able to

accomplish most repairs.

WARNING

Power cord replacement should be from

the manufacturer only (because it

requires a specially prepared cord).

Replacement of Silicone Rubber Pads

1. Make sure heat platen is cool.

2. Use tube of MPPC006 adhesive to bond

silicone rubber pad to metal platen.

NOTE: Read instructions on the tube package.

3. Be sure that the surface of the silicone platen is

clean. Use a mild solvent such as mineral

spirits.

4. The pad and metal must be thoroughly dry and

clean, before starting the bonding operation.

5. Apply adhesive sealant to the metal platen.

Spread a thin even coat and apply pad

immediately. Apply pressure and position pad

making sure that there is no air entrapment.

NOTE: A serrated blade such as used for laying down

rubber floor tiles would be helpful.

6. Allow to cure overnight under low pressure at

normal room temperature.
