MAXX®CLAM 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, 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 36”L x 24”W x 29”H.
14. Work area must be kept clean, tidy and free of obstructions.

Connecting the System
Connect the power cord into a properly grounded electrical
outlet with a sufficient amperage rating.
Voltage
120 volt requires a full 20-amp grounded circuit.
240 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 15 amps or that 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.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions will cause:
1. Erratic controller functions.
2. Inaccurate displays and slow heat up.
3. The circuit breaker to disengage.
Operating Instructions
Start Up/Shut Down
Locate the lift handle and position the heat platen in the
UP position.
Locate the Power ON/OFF Switch on the side of the press,
then turn the Power Switch ON.
