Setup & Suggestions
• Locate the press on a firm, sturdy work surface. It is recommended but
not necessary to bolt the press to a workbench using the rear mounting
holes on the base frame.
• A stand on lockable casters is available from Geo Knight & Co or your
distributor.
• The height of the bench/work space the press is located on would be
ideally 27” to 32” high. The higher the press, the more difficult to
close/lock.
• Attach the power cord from the rear to the underside of the top head.
There is a power inlet under the top head that the modular cord will
plug into.
• It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that the cord be strapped or tied to
the back white post of the press, so that the cord is not pulled on and
tugged out of the power inlet where it plugs into the press. TEST and
make sure the cord travels freely when swinging the press, and that
there is no tension or pulling on the inlet socket where the power cord
plugs into the head. Make sure the cord can not be pressed by the
heater.
• The press should remain in the unclamped OPEN position when not in
use. Do not leave the heater block closed on the table when not using,
unless transporting.
• The top head should be swung over the pressing table when not in
use. Do not leave the platen down on the silicone pad when heating.
Always leave the heat platen in the UP position.
