Hendi 970355 Mode D'emploi page 10

Special safety precautions
 Note: the vacuum pump contains oil. Make sure the unit always remains horizontal to prevent
oil leaking from the pump.
 Guidelines for the bags: the bags should always be smaller than the welding strip. At least 15
mm on either side.
 The bag foil thickness should be between 0.06 and 0.18 mm (60 – 180 µm).
We recommend Hendi plastic bags. See "Consumables".
 Do not attempt to vacuum-seal liquid food/liquids.
 Do not attempt to vacuum-seal sharp objects that might damage the bags.
 Do not put metal objects in the vacuum chamber near the sealbar. This could cause electrical
breakdown.
 The cover automatically opens quite vigorously after sealing. Make sure to lock the vacuum
chamber with the bracket at the front, especially if you're leaning over to look inside the
chamber – else the lid will slap you in the face.
