protective respiratory device.
Ø DO NOT place your hand/hands into the processing line.
Ø DO NOT make adjustments to machine while the machine is running.
Ø DO NOT use this machine with water or any type of liquids.
Ø DO NOT leave the machine running when not in use.
Ø DO NOT hold the work piece by hand or using body. Always mechanically clamp or secure work piece to create a
safe distance between the user and workpiece.
Ø DO NOT allow liquids or dust to enter the machine’s ventilation system.
Ø DO NOT operate machine outside of machine specifications.
Ø DO NOT touch moving parts while the machine is running as death or dismemberment could occur.
Ø DO NOT remove machine components while machine is connected to a power source. Only to be removed for
service by qualified personal and put back on the machine after service is complete.
Ø DO NOT allow children or untrained personal to operate machine.
Ø DO NOT use this machine in the rain or a wet environment. If using outdoors, make sure the surface is clean and dry.
Ø DO NOT operate in the presence of explosive materials as power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
Ø DO NOT use on a work area that may contain a live electrical wire/circuit.
Ø DO NOT use the machine overhead.
Ø DO NOT operate this machine on the same work surface where welding is being performed. This could result in
severe damage to the machine or personal injury to the user.
Ø DO NOT operate this machine on a lower voltage as this could limit the motor life and work efficiency.
o NOTE: Use of long small gauge power extension cords can result in decreased voltage. As local voltages
can vary, it may be a good idea to test the voltage at the end of the extension cord to ensure proper voltage
requirements are met. You might also consult an electrician to make sure the length of cord matches up
with the proper wire gauge for this size motor. Make sure to use outdoor cords when operating outdoors.
Use a GFCI circuit if using in wet locations.

PURPOSE
Ø The purpose of the SL-1.25 Seam Locker is to close Pittsburgh lock joints on correspondingly pre-
machines workpieces, e.g. ventilation ducts, housings, containers, etc.
OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES
Ø The lock seam can be closed on straight or slightly curved contours
Ø The machine adjusts itself automatically to the sheet thickness to be processed.
Ø The model SL-1.25 is for locking seams 0.8mm-1.25mm ONLY.

Ø The quality of the locking seam depends on the height of flange B. If B is too large or too small, the lock
seam cannot close properly.
Ø The seam locker uses 3 stages to lock a seam as it rolls over material. Those stages are outlined below.

Roller
Ø The clearance between the rollers and the guide rail can be locked into place using the adjustment lever.
This is used to place the machine into position prior to use (at the beginning of the channel) and take the
machine away from the workpiece after use (at the end of the channel).
Ø This machine has two positions within the adjustment lever.
o Tool Open: Position 1. This is a disengaged position. This points away from the direction of
travel.
§
o Tool Working: Position 2. This is the engaged position. This position should point in the
direction the machine will be going.

§
• NOTE: No adjustments are used for sheet thickness. The machine will
automatically adjust itself depending on the sheet thickness as long as it’s
within machine’s specifications.
Ø Machining Inner Radiuses:
o If using the machine to lock seals in an inner radius capacity, the supporting rollers must be
removed prior to use. This is part 1 in the figure below. If using it for outer radiuses, the support
rollers can stay in place.
§
RUNNING THE MACHINE
Ø Do all pre-operational and operational safety checks from Chapter 1.
Ø Consider your security and stability as well as the orientation of the machine in the work area.
o Consider the work surface material, condition, strength, density and rigidity. These factors
directly affect the tools operation and user safety.
o Ensure the work surface is free of debris, oil, etc.
§ CAUTION: Always guide the electric cord away from the back of the machine and
ensure it does not pull across sharp surfaces!
o NOTE: For better results, lightly oil the rollers on the machine prior to using.
Ø Plug the machine into power source.
o Start the machine by sliding switch 1 in picture below forward. Stop the machine by sliding the
switch backwards and release.
