Removing the machine out of the box
• These units can weigh up to a 140 lbs. Please use caution when
lifting these machines out of the box. Ask for assistance and lift
using your legs to stand up and keeping your back completely
straight when doing so. Do not arch or hyperextend your back
as it can lead to serious injuries.
Inspect the machine for any damages or missing
parts
• Inspect the entire machine for any damages that could
potentially be a hazard. Make sure the arm structure does not
have any cracks and the joints are properly secured. Check
the power cord to make sure it hasn’t been dropped on and
the internal wires aren’t exposed. If you see any concerning
issues, please contact us right away.

Operating on a stable location
• Be sure the machine is placed on a sturdy, even surface. If
you are using a cart or stand, make sure the legs are properly
secured with no damage. Plastic tables aren’t recommended
as the machine can dent through the surface over time.
Remove all liquids out of the area
• Do not operate the machine with any liquids or chemicals
nearby that could potentially spill onto the machine. This
would create a high risk of electrical shock or re.
Plugging the machine into a direct electrical
outlet
• It is highly recommended to keep the machine plugged into
its own isolated circuit, as it could potentially overload the
breaker. If you do plan on using an extension cord, make sure
it is rated for at least 20 amps which, is a 10 gauge cord or
thicker. If you plan on using a surge protector or power strip,
make sure the specications will support your machine. Using
an insufcient power strip or surge protector can stall your heat
press from reaching its desired temperature.
