Customer service
Whenever you need to communicate with our company about any technical problem you must always refer to:
• Customer I
• Model and serial number of the machine
• Exact nature of the problem
Assistance notices
In this manual we have considered all normal applications for a heat-transfer press.
o not try any kind of adjustment on the press or change its factory settings except for those described in this booklet.
Any operation on the machine like reparation, replacement of parts or maintenance, must be done by trained personnel.
DESCRIPTION OF THE HEAT PRESS AND COMPONENTS
Steel frame
The frame is made of welded steel bars and supports the weight of the press. Its characteristics make the structure
withstanding and extremely steady.
Lower platen
The lower platen is fixed to the frame and is fitted with a soft rubber pad which helps to keep any object firmly in place
while pressing. The rubber pad also allows the same distribution of pressure and heat across the entire surfaces of the
platens when pressing.
Heat platen
The upper platen is heated by an electric resistance and can be set to different temperatures. This platen allows thermo-
adhesive materials to stick on various objects. A steel protection grid is placed around the platen to prevent accidents.
Electric elements box
The electrical parts of the press are assembled inside the box placed on top of the heat platen. On the front of the box you
will find: timer and temperature adjustment device with a 3 digit display, (details on settings will follow). On the rear side
you will find the ON-OFF switch, fuses, power cable and the heat platen’s mains connection.

USE
The heat-transfer press is to be used for decorating fabrics and other materials by means of heat-transferable films as
reported in the APPLICATION GUI E in APPEN IX A.
warning!
Always read the film’s instructions on it’s packet.
warning!
Always e careful when using a heat-transfer press. Even if equipped with safety
devices a careless mistake could e very dangerous.
WHAT MUST NOT BE DONE WITH A HEAT-TRANSFER PRESS
The following operations with a press can be dangerous for users and will not make the machine work in a proper way.
Avoid them!
• ecorating uneven or very bumpy surfaces.
• ecorating any object containing liquid or gas that can expand by heat.
• ecorating inflammable or non heat-resistent objects.
• Other uses similar to the ones to the above.
PRELIMINARY NOTICES AND STARTING
Before using the heat-transfer press prepare the working area and control the electric connection as follows:
1. Prepare a firm, flat surface which will support the weight of the press so that it won’t fall and damage
things or hurt people;
2. Make sure there is a power outlet available with the correct voltage near the machine;
3. Make sure there is no humidity and avoid dirty or dusty places;
. Good ventilation is recommended;
Remove the packing and assemble the control lever by screwing it in it’s socket completely.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL DEVICES
The devices are described in figure 2.
1. on/off switch. The red or green switch lights up when the press is turned on.
2. The manual control lever moves the heat-platen up, down and sideways.
3. 3 digit temperature-timer display: shows platens temperature and allows adjustment. It also displays
timing and allows count down function. When press is turned on, the display will show heat platen
temperature (the upper light °C will turn on). To adjust temperature press “C”, you will see the set
temperature (the °C and SET lights turn on). Adjust the temperature with “+” and “-“ and press “C” to
confirm. The desired temperature setting will be set and the display will automatically show time setting
(the T and the SET lights will turn on). Adjust the timer with “+” and “-“ and press “C” to confirm. The
display panel will now automatically show the current heat platen temperature ( °C light will turn on). To
check the heat setting press 1 time “C” . To check the time setting press 2 times “C”. Countdown starts
when lever is lowered (T light turns on). When countdown finishes an acoustic signal will warn you.
. The fuse socket allows you to check the 10A fuse and change it if necessary. The fuse protects the heat-
transfer press against electrical overload.
5. The flywheel allows you to adjust the height of the heat platen.

HOW TO USE THE PRESS
warning!
Please keep to the instructions. Different manoeuvres will not simplify or reduce
working time in any way.
For decorating objects proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the power chord and socket and the heat-press are in good conditions.
2. Connect the machine to the power socket.
3. Turn on the heat-transfer press.
. Adjust the height of the heat platen;
 o not decorate objects thicker than 50mm;
5. Set the temperature.
6. Adjust timer.
7. Wait until the set temperature appears on the display.
8. Shift the heat platen sideways to the right and place the object on the lower platen;
 Place the object in the perfect centre of the platen.
 Thoroughly stretch out fabrics and other non stiff materials.
9. Place the transfer paper on the object;
 For best results on bumpy surfaces place soft silicone rubber mat or a cloth over the object and the
transfer.
10. Bring back the heat platen in it’s original position.
11. Pull down the lever until the platen touches the object.
12. Keep the lever in this position until you hear the acoustic signal. Remaining time appears on the display;
13. When the acoustic signal rings, push up the lever completely, swing aside the platen and remove the
object;
1 . For objects requiring same settings repeat point 8 to 13;
15. For objects requiring different settings repeat point 4 to 13;
16. Turn off the press;
17. isconnect the power cord.
warning!
Always make sure that the power ca le isn’t too close to the heat-platen. The ca le
should never come in contact with the heat-platen.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
How to change the fuse
If the heat-press doesn’t turn on (the display panel doesn’t light up) in spite the machine is correctly connected to the mains,
the probable cause may be the fuse. In this case check the fuse by unscrewing it from the socket and if necessary change it
with another of the same type (10A).
D ANGER !
B EFORE CHANGING THE FUSE , TURN OFF THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT THE
POWER
CABLE FROM THE MAINS OUTLET .
Electrical problems
If the on/off switch doesn’t light up this means there is no electric power
supply. Check the mains.
If any of the following events occur:
• The display does not work in spite the fuse is good;
• The heat-platen doesn’t get hot;
• The heat-platen temperature exceeds the designated level;
send the electric elements box back (to Shock Line - Termoli).
Remove the box as follows:
1. Turn off the heat-press;
2. isconnect from the mains;
3. isconnect the heat-platen power cable;
4. Unscrew the screw on the upper side (fig.4) and shift the
box first sideways and then downwards.
5. Unscrew the microswitch conneceted to the lever device.
If the timer doesn’t start when you pull down the control lever try to operate directly on the timer’s switch. Pull away the
electric box (point 4) and check if the timer works. If it works correctly fold the tab so that it starts when the lever is pulled
down. If the switch doesn’t work send the box back (to Shock Line -Termoli).
D ANGER !
D ON ’ T TRY TO OPEN OR FORCE THE ELECTRIC BOX IN ANY WAY .
In case the machine’s power cable gets damaged contact the producer for it’s replacement.
