Safety First
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.
CAUTION

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.
