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.

General Guidelines:
• To avoid burns, do not touch the heated platen during use.
• Keep hands clear of the upper platen of the press during platen lock down as the pressure may cause injury.
• Press should be placed on a sturdy, suitable stand at least 36”L x 24”W x 29”H.
• Work area must be kept clean, tidy and free of obstructions.
This guide is created with the user in mind. Carefully follow the step - by step instructions for best results:
1. Connect the power cord into a properly grounded 120 volt electrical outlet with a minimum 10 amp rang.
• If used, a minimum 14-gauge extension cord is required. Short, he avy - duty cords are recommended.
•Circuits powering other high demand equipment should not be used.
• Power supply cord must be disconnected before cleaning or servicing press.
2. Raise the lift handle to the UP position.
•When not in use, lift handle should remain in the UP position to extend the life of the gas springs.
3. Turn the Power Switch to the ON position.
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.

Part Identification & Setup

Various transfer products will recommend using either “light,” “medium” or “heavy” pressure. Some trial and error may
be required to determine the best pressure setting, but once selected your Sports Ball Heat Press will reliably reproduce
the same pressure, print after print.
• Place ball on Ball Moun t
• Rotate adjustment handle counter - clockwise to unlock spring-
loaded Ball Mount
• Move Ball Mount up or down to achieve desired print pressure
• Rotate adjustment handle clockwise to lock Ball Mount in place
For best results, compress the ball only as wide as the print area

Selecting suitable materials is very important for a durable and attractive nal result. Products known to work reliably
with the Sports Ball Heat Press include but are not limited to:
Sports Ball Heat Press
Adjusting your Press

1. Fully inate Ball and position on
Ball Mount. Turn on press and
enter recommended settings:
8 sec @ca .113°C
WARNING: Prinng above 120°C will
scorch most balls.
4. Align the transfer material on the
ball to printed.
WARNING: Transfer material will not
adhere to stched seams or recessed
features.
5. Lower and lock the handle to print.
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.
6. Pebbled products (e.g. basketballs
and footballs) require a secondary
press using Flex Application Pad.
2. Lower the handle until the heater
touches the ball, then unlock the
Ball Mount by rotating the Ad-
justment Handle counter-clockwise.
3. Using the handle to raise or
lower the Ball Mount will adjust
print pressure. Most balls will print
well with about 5cm of space bet-
ween the Electromagnet and the
steel plate on the handle.

Terms of Guarantee
Warranty Policy
STAHLS’ Europe GmbH provides the following warranty for the Maxx™ Clam, subject to the
following terms:
Duration
The warranty period of 2 years commences from the date of receipt by the buyer of the heat press
machine, which can be veried by the invoice or similar documents. The warranty does not cover any
damage caused by normal wear and tear.
Repair
If any parts are found to be defective, despite proper use, authorised use and not as a result of fair wear
and tear, within the warranty period, then they will be replaced or repaired without question provided that
STAHLS’ Europe GmbH have been informed of any such claim in writing within one week of the
occurrence of the failure. The terms and conditions of the commercial transaction are specically
excluded from this warranty, especially §§377 et.seq. HGB. Following any claim under the warranty,
the warranty period will not be extended for either the heat press machine or for any replaced parts.
Any exchanged parts will be the property of STAHLS’Europe GmbH. No charge will be made for any
labour or components for any claim under the warranty. STAHLS’Europe GmbH operates a “bring in”
guarantee for the rst six months from the date of the purchase, under which all delivery and return
costs will be borne by STAHLS Europe GmbH. After the rst six months from the date of purchase,
all delivery and return costs will be borne by the customer.
Rectication
Initially the customer’s rights are limited to repair by STAHLS’Europe GmbH. Should the repair or
remedial works nally fail, it will become the customer’s right according to §462 BGB to receive a
payment reduction, or to withdraw from the contract. In every case, any further claim would be excluded,
especially indemnity claims (including consequential damages) and those resulting from defects, unless
it can be proven that STAHLS’ Europe GmbH acted intentionally, grossly negligently, or there are
requirements according to §463 BGB.
Returns
Goods may only be returned with express written authorisation from STAHLS’ Europe GmbH. Customers
must ensure that the heat transfer machine is properly xed to the supplied wooden panel, and returned
in the original carton, which must include the contact details of the sender, together with details of any
failure which requires remedying. STAHLS’ Europe GmbH will not be liable for any damages howsoever
caused during transportation as a result of improper packaging.

Europe GmbH being borne by the sender. WEEE DE 54539730.
Packaging
The original carton (box), packaging and wooden transport panel must be retained for any future
transportation of the heat press machine.
Circuit Breaker
If the circuit breaker should become dislodged, it can easily be reinstated after the heat press machine
has cooled down. It is recommended to try and eliminate the source of any failure by using the error
checklist.
Set Up
It is important that the heat press machine is xed securely to your worktop. To set up the press, it is
necessary to fully open the press, and place the substrate that is to be printed at on the lower platen.
If the press is not fully open, there is a risk of being burnt. Always follow the supplied instructions for
printing for every respective material.
