Stahls STXBP-120 User manual

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 qualied service
person for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly or repair could increase the risk of re, electric shock, or
injury to persons when the equipment is used.
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. Burns can occur when touching hot metal parts.
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 10 amperage rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage
may overheat. Care should be taken to arrangethe cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

The timer will count down and
automatically raise the heater
when the press cycle is complete.
When the handle lifts, the timer
will re-set and you are ready for
the next application.
