Thank you for purchasing this heat press from USCutter. The following are important
things you need to know before you begin:
•
Intended usage of this Heat Press:
This heat press is designed to press heat transfer
vinyl (HTV), sublimation and transfer papers onto soft garments.
Do not attempt to set the temperature on this device at higher than 480 degrees
Fahrenheit as it will burn out the heating element.
Also avoid use of this heat press for other activities such as food preparation or extraction
of oils from plant materials and other alternative uses.
Use of this heat press in a manner other than intended will void the warranty, will damage
the machine, and may constitute a fire hazard.
•
Preserve the shipping carton:
Please do not discard or disassemble the carton this heat
press came in. It was designed to hold the weight of this machine during shipping.
Should you need to return the equipment due to warranty or repair, you will need it. Do
not attempt to ship this equipment in a different container.
•
Follow manufacturer instructions on materials you press:
Always use recommended
settings from the manufacturer for any material used in this press. Those instructions are
usually always available on-line from the material maker.
Instructions on the most common and recommended materials are enclosed within this
documentation.
•
Test before you press:
We encourage you to always do a test of your fabric and HTV
or transfer paper together using a small sample of the materials before you do volume
production.
If possible your test should include actually washing and drying a pressed garment to
assure that the media has properly adhered to the garment using the heat and pressure
setting you have selected.
•
Use extreme care during operation:
Please also be careful as you operate the heat press.
During operation the platens will get hot enough to do serious injury to you should you
touch them, and surrounding metal parts will also reach high temperatures.
Please educate children and others around this equipment that it is not a toy and can
cause severe burns and/or injury if the unit is closed onto fingers or other body parts.
•
Electrical Source:
This heat press is designed for the North American market and is
designed to plug into a standard household 3 prong outlet. (110-120V/60Hz.) Do not
attempt to use this press with a two prong electrical cord or otherwise use it without
proper grounding.
