Operating Instructions
Pressing a T-shirt
1.) Turn ON the Main Power Switch.
2.) Set the appropriate Press Temperature, and Time as per your transfer vinyl, transfer paper
or sublimation instructions. Adjust the pressure if necessary. Unlock the pressure
crank. To adjust the pressure turn the crank below the base plate clockwise to
increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. Once pressure is
adjusted, lock the pressure crank.
3.) Unlock the brake handle and swing the platen (using the swing handle) to the right
away from the base plate.
4.) Place your T-shirt on the heat press.
5.) Wait until current temperature is the same as the set temperature. Once the
press has reached set temperature, place transfer material on the shirt. For
Sublimation, place the paper with the image face down. For cuttable transfer
vinyl, place the matte side with the transparent carrier backing facing the heat
platen. If unsure, please refer to the instructions you received with your
transfer materials.
6.) Swing the heat platen (using the swing handle) on top of the base plate, then lock
the brake handle. Close the press.
7.) Once Press is closed the current time value will start counting down. Once the
timer reaches the last 2 seconds before reaching 0, it will start to beep to warn
you. It is recommended to stand clear of the press and let the auto-open
feature work without obstruction. Once time reaches zero, the press will open.
Unlock the brake handle and swing heat platen away (using swing handle) from
base plate. Remove heat pressed materials from base plate.
Note: Once the press is closed, it cannot be opened manually until the timer
reaches zero. In an emergency, you may press the red emergency stop button
to force open the press. When pressing the red emergency stop button, the
press will open immediately without warning. Keep hands on the heat press
handle at all times during and after pressing the emergency stop button. Not
securing the handle with your hands may cause injury.
8.) For most sublimation and transfer vinyl, the peel is hot. If unsure, refer to the
instructions that came with your transfer materials.
