Transport instructions
The machine comes to you,
in a cardboard box, and held in place with
foam and banded onto a pallet. If you have to transport the machine at
any time it is recommended that you use a similar box and packing
methods. Please let the machine cool down, lower the handle to the
locked position and remove the swing head handle.
2.2
Installing the machine
2.2.1
Remove all packaging
from the heat press.
2.2.2
Check to ensure
that no damage has been caused to the
machine during transit.
2.2.3
Place the machine
on a sturdy horizontal surface that is within
easy reach of the operator. Due to the weight we recommend
that this be a 2-person task. There must be sufficient space for
the machine’s head to swing to the right until it hits the built-in
stop and for the operating handle to be raised to its full extent.
Ensure that no items vulnerable to heat radiation are too close
to the machine and that local lighting is adequate.
2.2.4
Under some circumstances
the machine becomes unstable
when the heat plate is swung to the side for loading. A suitable
bolt is provided with the machine to allow the machine to be
fixed in place using the hole in the front legs casting.
2.3
Electrical requirements
The Beta Maxi A2 Press
should be connected to the mains supply,
(nominally 230 Volts AC for the European market) by the mains cable
provided and a suitable plug. A qualified person should carry out this
work.
The press is designed
for 230 Volts AC 50/60 hertz and requires
exclusive use of a power outlet rated for at least 13 Amps (Europe).
Ensure that the supply rating
on the machine specification plate
corresponds with your local supply and that the correct plug is fitted.
