Important Safety Instructions
Before you use your press, you should follow some basic precautions, including the following:
• Read the complete manual before you start to use your press. Use the press exclusively for prin-
ting textiles, or other suitable products that do not contain heat sensitive components, and have
not been treated with chemical additives.
• Keep your press secure from rain, moisture, dirt, dust, direct sunlight, mechanical vibration or
shock, as well as keeping it well away from highly flammable or explosive materials.
• Never pull on the power cord to turn off your press, but always use the ON/OFF switch.
• If the machine will not be used for long periods of time, pull the plug carefully from the wall
socket.
• The power cord must not come into contact with the hot plate (upper platen).
• Never use your press with a damaged or defective power cable. In the event of any damage or
defect, never remove the casing of your press, but discuss the problem with a specialist who may
be contacted during normal business hours by telephoning (+49) 0 68 31/97 33 0.
• Opening the case will void the warranty on the press.
• Avoid using the press in locations where children, or third parties have unsupervised access to
the press. The minimum distance for children, or other persons should be at least 1.5 m away
from the press to prevent burns and bruises.
• When lifting the press for any reason you should grip the machine and not the casing, as the
casing contains plastic and delicate electronic components. Hold the press at the base plate, or
directly on the bottom. The press must be completely cool and transported in the original box.
• Before connecting the power cable check that the operating mains voltage will be 230 V. The
outlet must be fused with at least 10 amps. You should only connect one machine to a mains
socket, and not use an extension lead.
• When using the machine for printing, it should never be left unattended (danger of fire). Please
take care when loading the machine that it is fully open to avoid any burns.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
