General Safety Instructions
The safety aspects of the machine have been considered right from the design phase
by developing the best solutions for safe use. It should be noted that any modifications
made by the user will invalidate the CE declaration of conformity. Furthermore, in this
case Lotus Press S.R.L. will no longer be liable for the machine.
The machine is to be connected to a 230 V power supply; this voltage is dangerous
when it is contacted. The installation, maintenance and repair work must be carried out
by qualified personnel with appropriate knowledge of electrical equipment.
If the mains connection is made by means of an adapter or extension cable, make sure
that these are suitable for the power of the machine (2 kW), considering the power of
the other consumers connected.
The operator's workplace must be kept in a clean, tidy condition and free from objects
that could restrict his freedom of movement.
Intended use and improper use
The machine has been designed and manufactured exclusively for the application of
heat-weldable materials on fabric and other substrates compatible with the operating
temperatures.
The good operation and safety of the machine also depend on the place of installation.
It is forbidden to modify or replace any part of the machine without the prior authoriza-
tion of the manufacturer.
Maintenance and/or repair work must not be carried out until the power plug has been
removed from the socket and the heating elements have cooled down to room tempera-
ture.
Under no circumstances transfer thermally weldable materials to flammable materials or
materials that have encounter solvents, flammable substances, or fuels. The operating
temperature could be sufficient to cause a fire.
Do not use the machine in a damp, wet or dusty environment. It is not intended for out-
door use.
Safety instructions
The press fully complies with the standards. The operations for which the machine is
designed can be carried out easily and without risk to the operator.
Compliance with the general safety regulations and the manufacturer's instructions in
this manual leaves no room for human error if this is not intentional.
Before starting any work on the press, each user must be familiar with the operation of
the machine and its controls and must have read and understood all information con-
tained in this manual.
When using the press, pay attention to the risk of scalding on the heating plate. The
main hazards when using the press are listed in the following table:
