Parafilm M® Barrier Film Dispenser

Use these instructions for safe and efficient operation!


Spanish




This is a "universal" kind of dispenser, because it can be used for both 4" (101.6 mm) as well as 2" (50.8 mm) wide rolls of Parafilm.

When using 4" wide rolls:

Loading: Use Parafilm blue color
Figure 1: Load
Push the roll back as far to the rear of the dispenser as possible. The package will be pressed between the side ribs of the dispenser. This is to intentionally provide "drag" on the packaged roll as it becomes lighter. Finally, replace the dispenser lid.

Operation: Use Parafilm blue color

Using one finger to press the film down on the feeder in the opening in the opening on top of the dispenser, move the film forward and out the opening at the front where it can be pulled out the desired length (Figure 2).

To Cut the Film: Use Parafilm blue color

Press the operating lever all the way down, remove the cut piece of film, and release the lever (Figure 3).

Warning:

Never operate lever when lid of dispenser is open!

Blade Changing: Use Parafilm blue color

CAUTION: BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP!

Follow these six steps exactly!

1. Slide the dispenser lid back to open and use a wood pencil to defeat the safety latch by pressing the latch toward the front. This can be done as shown in Figure 4 or by pushing the pencil through the hole (See instruction label inside dispenser).
Figure 4: Load
2. Move operating lever down slowly until the blade moves past the center. Squeeze the blade lock firmly and allow the blade to return until it locks against the blade lock (Figure 5).

3. Blade will now remain stationary for changing.

4. Push a pencil tip into the blade release slot until the blade retainer has unlocked the blade (Figure 6).

5. Carefully remove the blade by pulling it up and replace the new one in a reverse manner (Figure 7).

CAUTION: DO NOT MOVE THE BLADE ARM ENOUGH TO RELEASE THE LOCK DURING THIS OPERATION. Use only blades marked "X-Acto #11".

When using 2" wide rolls:

When using the 2" wide Parafilm M in the dispenser, it is necessary to flip down the hinged spacers on each side of the dispenser (Figure 8). Flip the spacers up when using 4" Parafilm in the dispenser.
