quick start guide
Powering on Unit:
To start your unit turn on power switch
on the rear of unit (red circle) and display
will start within 5 - 7 seconds. The
NugSmasher® Touch is designed with
several time saving features that will
allow you to choose the perfect setup
and pressure using our NugSmasher®
bags in accordance with their dimensions.
We also have integrated a custom
configuration for bag size if your using
Non NugSmasher® bags to achieve correct
pressure vs. surface area configuration.
(Note not all bags are created equally, use
NugSmasher® bags for best results).
Powering off Unit:
DO NOT power off your unit by the switch! It is
imperative when powering down to use the on
screen power button (green circle in illustration
below). Once power down cycle is complete
and screen has shut down -approximately 7-10
seconds- then the main power switch on the

Ideal Temperature:
To adjust temperature simply select arrows up or down on display (red circle), also note that there
are several preset common temperatures that can quickly be toggled threw for convenience.
Note: NugSmasher® Touch is set in Fahrenheit. The ideal pressure and temperature will vary
depending on strain and growing techniques so don’t be discouraged on your results when
you press new material. We recommend when pressing a new strain to start at approx. 220
degrees for flower and notate your yield results (weight of material in vs. rosin out). Perform
additional test presses and drop 5-10 degrees per press until you notice your yield percentage
starting to drop. Adjust back to the previous temp and that will be your ideal temp for that strain.
It is advised to have a thermal temp gun to verify and check temperatures from time to time.
Use our temperature test strips included with your unit (also available for purchase at
NugSmasher®.com), unless in a pinch use a small piece of electrical tape as the high
gloss on heat plates will affect accurate temp readings if using a thermal temp gun. (As
shown in Illustration)

Remember
“Fire in fire out!”
3.5g bag (1.1g-3.5g) = 1.5”-1.6”Diameter
7g bag (3.6g-7g) = 2”-2.2”Diameter
14g bag (7.1g-14g) =2.4”-2.7”Diameter
As the micron gets smaller the diameter gets larger, this is the reason for the variance in the diameter numbers above. We prefer to use
160 micron for fresh flower, as flower dries we go down in micron screen size (for dry flower use 90 micron). Micron size determines the
diameter (surface area) of the smashed bag. For nugs 1g and smaller no bag is necessary. For more details about loading Bottle-Tech
and/or Barrel-Tech style (BTS) please visit NugSmasher® on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0osvcD7CLK0
Loading Micron Bags:
NugSmasher® extraction bags, are recommended for optimal yield and clean quality rosin. Our bags are hand-made and packaged
in the USA! NugSmasher® extraction bags are specially designed to work with the weight of fresh cured flower and are labeled
accordingly at: 3.5 g (1.1g-3.5g), 7 g (3.6g-7g) and 14 g (7.1g-14g). This assumes the bags are loaded (BTS) or bottle/barrel-tech
style (upright so that you end up with the round coin like puck once fully pressed). This perfected method allows you the ability to put
the proper weight of flower into the bag and get a consistent extraction every time. This method also applies the proper pounds per
square inch of pressure (PSI) on your product and eliminates the guess work.

NugSmasher® extraction bags, our bags are recommended or optimal yield and
clean quality rosin. NugSmasher® extraction bags are specifically designed to work
with the weight of fresh cured flower together with our extraction machines and are
labeled accordingly at: 3.5g, 7g and 14g this assumes the bags are loaded (BTS)
or bottle/barrel-tech style (upright so that you end up with the round coin like puck
once fully pressed).
This perfected method allows you the ability to put the proper eight of flower into the
bag and get a consistent extraction very time. The reason for this is that it allows for
the proper pounds per square inch, pressure (PSI) on your product and eliminates
the guess work.
3.5g = 1.5” Diameter = 1.77” in surface area
7g = 2”-2.2”Diameter= 3.14” in surface area
14g=2.4”-2.7”Diameter= 4.91” in surface area.
We prefer to use 160 micron for fresh flower, as flower dries we go down in micron
screen size (for dry flower use 90 micron).
NOTE: As the micron gets smaller the diameter get slightly larger. Example: 90 micron is about
5% larger at the end of your extraction.
Plate Pressure:
The applied plate pressure is determined by the extracted material’s
surface area (bag, size and quantity) and the applied pressure to
the extraction (Screen PSI Reading)
HF Pressure:
HF pressure (psi) is measured from the hydraulic rams fluid
pressure. This is the applied pressure and should be adjusted to the
surface area to achieve optimum results.

EXTRACTION EXAMPLE:
One 3.5g bag Two 3.5g bags
Plate Pressure
750 PSI
There is only one 3.5g bag
that has the total surface
area of around 1.77in2.
Plate Pressure
750 PSI
There are two 3.5g bags
that has a total combined surface
area of around 3.54in2.
Hydraulic Fluid Pressure
577 PSI
To extract your material at 750 PSI
with a surface area of 1.77in (one
3.5g bag) it would equal 577 PSI on
your screen.
Hydraulic Fluid Pressure
1154 PSI
To extract your material at 750 PSI
with a surface area of 3.54in2(1.77in2
for each 3.5g bag) you would need
1154 PSI on your screen.

Safety
• Keep away from children, pets and clothing.
• Never leave the extractor on when you go to sleep or leave the area.
• Never use or store flammable liquids (such as gasoline) around the extractor. The flammable vapors can flow from one part of
the room to another and be ignited by an electrical spark.
• Place at least three feet away from objects such as bedding, furniture and drapes. Do not place where towels or other objects
could fall on the extractor and start a fire.
• Use extractor on the floor or bench top. Never place on furniture, since unit may fall , which could result in a fire or shock
hazard. Do not use in wet or moist places, such as bathrooms; corrosion or other damage to parts in the unit may lead to a fire
or shock hazard.
• Do not hide cords under rugs or carpets. Placing anything on top of the cord or unit as it could cause the cord or machine to
overheat, and can cause a fire.
• Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Using a light-duty, household extension cord with high-wattage
appliances can start a fire. If you must use an extension cord, it must be marked #14 or #12 AWG; this tells the thickness or
gauge of the wire in the cord. Do not use a cord marked #16 or #18 AWG. Only use extension cords bearing the label of an
independent testing laboratory such a U.L. or E.T.L.
• Be sure the plug fits snugly in the outlet. Since a loose plug can overheat, have a qualified repairman replace the worn-out
plug or outlet. Since extractor draw lots of power, the cord and plug may feel warm. If the plug feels hot, unplug the heater
and have a qualified repairman check for problems. Using an extractor with a hot cord or plug could start a fire.
• If a extractor is used on an outlet protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and the GFCI trips, do not assume
the GFCI is broken. Because GFCls protect the location where leakage currents can cause a severe shock, stop using the
extractor and have it checked, even it if seems to be working properly.
• Broken extractor should be checked and repaired by a qualified service center. Do not attempt to repair, adjust or replace
parts yourself as this will void warranty.
