All four models of the Drytac Glass Top Vacuum Press require single-

phase AC power. The current and power requirements are different for 

each model, and are summarized below.

Please be sure to provide adequate ventilation if the equipment is to be 

used in a high-volume production environment.

Make  certain  that  the  power  source  conforms  to  the  requirements 

specifi ed above. All local electrical and safety codes, as well as the 

current  National  Electrical  Code  (NEC)  must  be  followed. All  wiring 

must be installed by a qualifi ed electrician.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the vacuum press must be used 

only  with  a  properly  installed  3-wire  grounding-type  receptacle  and 

plug combination. Do not use extension cords or 2-prong adapters with 

this equipment. Proper grounding of the receptacle must be verifi ed 

before use. 

The electrical cord should be routed and secured so that it does not 

present a hazard. Protect the cord at all times from sharp objects, hot 

surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Periodically inspect 

the cord and plug, and replace immediately if worn or damaged.

Disconnect  the  equipment  from  the  power  source  before  moving  or 

servicing. 

Test  the  GFCI  (Ground  Fault  Circuit  Interrupter)  circuit  breaker.  It 

is the circuit breaker located nearest to the center of the rear panel 

of  the  press.  It  should  be  tested  after  installation  (and  periodically 

thereafter) to ensure that it is functioning correctly. To test it, press the 

test button (labeled “T”) adjacent to the breaker handle. The breaker 

should immediately trip. If it does not, the GFCI is defective and must 

be replaced. Note that the equipment must be connected to a power 

source in order to perform this test.
