To Operate the Hand Press
Ensure that the temperature & Timer setting are correct.
You may check your settings at any time simply by pressing the
key and the temperature set-point will be displayed, press
again and the timer
set-point will be displayed, press
a third time and the control goes back to the standard screen display
Place the part of the garment/article to be marked onto the silicone pressure pad.
Pull the handle forward into the locked position, ensuring the garment is firmly clamped between the heat plate and pressure pad. (Make sure that your
hands are away from the heated platen when using the heat press).
The timer display will now start a countdown.
After completion of the above the buzzer will sound when the pre-set time has elapsed and
t.End
(timer end) will be displayed, the handle
should then be lifted back to it full extent.
Before operating the machine at the start of each day carry out a sealing procedure without any garment or transfers this will remove any
moisture from the pad
.
Pressure Pad Assembly
The silicone pressure pad and assembly should be maintained and kept in good condition at all times.
A worn silicone pressure pad will effect the quality of transfer marking / fusing and should be replaced when showing signs of wear. (
See parts list
).
After a long duration of time it may be found that there is a loss of pressure through the pressure pad assembly, this can be rectified by replacing the pressure springs
located under the pressure plate.
Never allow the heat plate to rest on the silicone pressure pad when the press is not in use.
PTFE Heat Plate Cover
A PTFE cover is fitted to the heat plate, which allows the surface to be wiped clean should it become marked.
New PTFE covers may be fitted to the heat plate when
WARM
(not hot)
and has been cleaned to remove residue of the old PTFE.
