 The cam is hitch to the frame. And the clamp
lever is turn to the main body side.
※Turn until the clamp lever becomes parallel to the
main body.
※It is normal that the current temperature
drops by 20~30˚C right after the pre-setter
is inserted. The pre-setter cools the
press, but it will be heated up to the set
temperature.
※※Monitor the heating time by a stopwatch or
timer. Heat the press for the specified time for
the belt type and belt width. For details on the
heating time, refer to the attached Endless
Conditions Table.

- 17 -
 When press is done, take the pre-setter out of
the heat press and insert it in the cooling press.
The pre-setter is quite hot after
press. Always use anti-heat gloves
to prevent burns.
※When doing continuous press, close the heat
press tight and leave it for 5 seconds or longer
after taking out the pre-setter. When press is
done, it creates a gap in temperature between
the top and bottom plates. To maintain the
temperature of both plates as same as possible,
it is necessary to close the heat press before
next press. This stably enables successful
joints.
Immediately disconnect the main
plug from the socket outlet after the
use of the press. Pay attention that others do
not touch the press before it is cooled down
to a safe temperature.

to the Endless Conditions Table.
※Like the heat press, position the pre-setter
centered in the cooling press and insert the
pre-setter all the way in until it touches the
back of the press.
⑤ Taking out the Belt
 After cooling for the specified time, hold the
clamps and remove the pre-setter from the
cooling press.
※The pre-setter is still at a high temperature
after cooling time. Be careful when handling
the pre-setter.
 Remove the belt from the pre-setter in this order:
clamps, pre-setter top plate, silicon sheet, and
belt.
※The belt may be used once it reaches room
temperature.
