Installation
The Model 850PS comes fully assembled upon arrival. Installation is as simple as moving the machine into the desired operating area and plugging it into a 110v power source.
Important Note: The usage of power strips, extension cords, or anything of the sort is not recommended as they could result in one of several machine operation errors.
To get started, place the shrink wrap film on the spindle and route it as per the diagram on the carriage. We strongly recommend that you only use 80ga Machine Film for the best performance.
Automatic Mode
You can operate the Model 850PS in either automatic or manual mode.
