Operating Procedure
Basic Operation
1. Press the power switch to ON. The digital timer
on the front panel will illuminate. It usually takes
between 10 and 15 minutes before the heaters
have reached their operating temperature.
2. With the heater fully back and the mould table
in the up position place your mould onto it.
3. Place the table into the lower position by
pushing the table lever away from you.
4. Position a sheet of plastic over the aperture.
The plastic should be placed over the white seals
around the aperture.
5. Pull the clamp frame down and close the mate-
rial clamps. Depending on the plastic thickness,
you may need to adjust the screws on the mate-
rial clamps to properly grip the plastic.
6. Set the timer down to zero using the ‘Down’
button to help you establish the time for the hea-
ting cycle. If you know the cycle time, then press
the ‘Up’ button to the right time.
