MAXX®CAP Safety Instructions Safety Instructions
When using your heat press, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Use heat press only for its intended use.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the heat press in water or other liquids.
4. Never pull cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces and allow heat press to cool completely before storing.
6. Do not operate heat press with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or damaged. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the heat press. Take it to a
qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly or repair could increase the
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the equipment is used. Power supply cord must be
disconnected before cleaning or servicing press.
7. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any heat press being used by or near children. Do not leave equipment
unattended while connected.
9. To avoid burns, do not touch hot metal parts or the heated platen during use.
10. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate other high voltage equipment on the same circuit.
11. If an extension cord is necessary, then a 20-amperage rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped
over.
12. Keep hands clear of the upper heat press platen during lock down as the pressure may cause injury.
13. Heat press should be placed on a sturdy, suitable stand at least 91,5 cm L x 60 cm W x 75 cm H.
14. Work area must be kept clean, tidy and free of obstructions.

220 volt requires a full 10-amp grounded circuit.
Extension Cords should be as short as possible and not
less than 12 gauge. Heavy duty cords are recommended.
Circuits with less than 10 amps or have other high demand
equipment or heat presses plugged in should not
be used.
Note: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid hazard. Use SJT type rated 300 V cord for replacement.
