Installation
1. Bolt base of machine securely in desires place and position.
2. Connect air supply to 1/8” Female NPT fitting located in the back at the base of the
machine.
3. Plug in electrical cord to properly fused and grounded receptacle.
Operation
1. Set the Air Regulator located on the right side of the swivel head at the required gauge
pressure: 25 PSI minimum / 120 PSI maximum. To adjust regulator, pull up and turn black
knob. Clockwise increases pressure, counter-clockwise decreases pressure. When pressure
is set, push down black knob to lock. See table A-1 to convert gauge pressure to total
interplaten pressure and pounds of pressure per square inch on platen surface.
2. Check Air Filter Bowl located beneath Air Regulator and Gauge. If water is visible in bowl,
drain moisture by turning shaft, located on the bottom of the bowl, counter-clockwise.
3. Flip power switch located on the lower left side of the swivel head to “ON”. Green light on
control panel indicates the power is “ON”.
4. Set individual platen temperature with the corresponding control knobs located on the
control panel to desired temperature setting. Allow 10 minutes for platens to heat up.
While platens are heating their corresponding red light on the control panel will remain on.
When platens reach desired temperature the red light will turn off momentarily. As the
temperature controllers phase on and off to maintain desired platen temperature, the red
lights will phase on and off also. Platen heat can be turned off individually by turning knob
counter-clockwise until it clicks.
5. Set Timer Control located on upper left of control panel to desired cycle dwell time. This
time setting will repeat each press cycle until changed.

6. To actuate press, position top platen over one of the bottom platens and depress the black
pushbutton labeled “Start Cycle” located on the handle simultaneously with one of the
black pushbuttons labeled “Start Cycle” located on either side of the swivel head. Machine
will cycle ONLY when the top platen is in position directly over a bottom platen. When
press cycle is in progress, the amber light on the control panel will turn on and remain on
for all but the last two seconds of the timing cycle. At that time, the amber light will go into
a blinking mode to alert the operator that the press cycle is nearly complete.
7. To immediately open the press, push one of the red “Emergency Release” pushbuttons
located on either side of the swivel head. This safety feature bypasses the timer and
immediately opens the press in case of an emergency. Only one red pushbutton need be
depressed to interrupt cycle. Also, the press should open immediately if the power switch is
turned “OFF” or if the machine power cord is unplugged.
