Setup & Suggestions
•
Locate the press on a firm, sturdy work surface. It is recommended to
bolt the press to a workbench using the rear and front mounting holes
on the base frame. The clamshell presses can “hop” when opened
abruptly, especially with the auto-release upgrade. This can cause
undesireable movement of the work on the bottom table. Bolting the
frame of the press to the workbench greatly reduces this.
•
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 backside of the controler.
There is a power inlet on the back panel of the control box for the
power cord.
•
Make sure the power cord can not be pulled on. Make sure there is no
tension on the inlet socket that the power cord plugs into
•
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.
•
Do not leave the platen down on the silicone pad when heating. Always
leave the heat platen in the UP position.
