The heating shoe and the wooden board should be parallel to each other. If they are not
parallel, follow the instructions in step 4.

Correct and adjust the alignment of the heating shoe as follows.
Dismantle the upper handle cover; see page 3.
Tighten or loosen the 2 self-locking nuts (A) as needed.
Unscrew the right nut to decrease the space on the right side; see drawings below.

When closing the press with the fixed handle,
the movable handle should not close by itself. If
it does:
1. Make sure the foam padding is in good
condition; 7mm thick.
2. Keep the press closed with the fixed
handle. Raise and lower the movable
handle slowly. You should not need to hold
the handle in place when it is in its raised
position.
3. If the movable handle doesn't stay in its
raised position, tighten the screw (B).
4. To check if the adjustment is good: lower
the movable handle just shy of 2cm. The
handle should remain in that position
without any help. At 2 cm the movable
handle will close on its own.
A well-adjusted press should be able to remain
closed by itself with a 4mm thickness between the
board and the heating shoe. The movable handle
should not raise by itself.
Aligning the Heating Shoe Laterally
1. Close the press slowly with the fixed
handle
2. At the same time, push the heating shoe
against its upper stop.
3.
Check the distance and alignment of the
heating shoe in relation to the wooden
board. Distance (C) should be between 10
and 15mm.
4.
To obtain the distance (C), tighten or
loosen the screw (A) in 4-color picture
above.
