1. General description
The pneumatic Mammoth is a practical and universal heat
seal press with two press pads for optimal use. Therefore,
you do not have to wait during the press cycle, but can
prepare the next article.
Textile labels, company emblems, repair patches, transfers,
in short all Thermopatch materials for marking and repair are
easily and permanently pressed on all types of fabric. The
machine is hand operated but can also be set to automatic
operation. In that case, the press cycle is performed
automatically when the swivelling arm comes in the end
position.
1.1 Delivery
The NL-15 R / SQR is mounted onto a pallet and xed with
straps, covered with a cardboard box.
The following articles can be found at:
• NL-15 R / SQR heat seal machine
• Power cord
• 6 mm air hose
• Quick installation guide
• quality checklist
• Manual on CD-ROM
• CE Declaration of Conformity
If one of these articles should be missing or faulty, please
contact your Thermopatch supplier.
1.2 Conditions of warranty

4. Overview of safety measures
and warnings
4.1 Safety
The NL-15 R / SQR has several features to ensure your
safety.
The safety frame
The press plate of the NL-15 R / SQR is provided with a
safety frame. When this is touched or rmly moved, the heat
sealing cycle is automatically interrupted.
To resume work, turn the machine o and on again.
The emergency stop button
In addition to the mandatory safety measures in conformity
with the Machinery Directive, from serial numbers:
Model R: M14-03-0420 and model SQR: SQR13-0456,
an emergency stop button has been provided to be able to
intervene even faster in case of unforeseen events.
The safety thermostat
The safety thermostat on the heating element will interrupt
the power supply when the temperature rises above 270°C.
CATTENTION!
Make sure you are informed about the contents of this manual before starting to work with
the NL-15 R / SQR. This ensures an optimal and safe use of the machine.
CATTENTION!
Always turn the power o (unplug it) when you need to carry out maintenance work or when
cleaning the machine.
CATTENTION!
In case of emergency, press the emergency stop button!
CATTENTION!
Take care that there is enough space around the machine. Cables and connections must not
get pinched. Although the heat radiation of the press is low, there should be
enough space for cooling down.
CATTENTION!
Avoid contact with the press element and the heating
element.
CATTENTION!
Pull the fabrics tight around the press pad and ensure that your hands are away from
the sealing pad before operating the machine.

6.5.2 Pressure settings
The working pressure of the machine has been set to 5 bar.
The pressure regulator on the machine only inuences the
pressure on the press cylinder. The opening and closing of the
NL-15 R / SQR is done with the pressure that is supplied by
the machine.
The NL-15 R / SQR has a pressure safety range; this means
that a maximum pressure of about 6 Bar and a minimum
pressure of 4 Bar is allowed. When the air pressure exceeds
these limits, the machine cannot be operated.
You can set the pressure with the control panel.
Change pressure
You set the minimum pressure range in steps of 0,1 Bar by
pushing the -button and then the + or - button once.
You set the maximum pressure range in steps of 0,1 Bar by
pushing the -button and then push the + or – button
twice (2x).
The standard working pressure for textile repair and marking
is 5 Bar.
6.5.3 Time settings
The default sealing time setting of the NL-15 R / SQR is 12
seconds. Adjusting the settings can be done with the control
panel.
Change time
Push the -button once. Change the time setting in steps of
1 second by pushing the - or + button. The range is 1 - 60
seconds.
6.5.4 Power save
When you want the machine to switch to a lower energy level
when you are not working, you can use the power save
mode.
Push the -button twice.
Set the power save mode in steps of 1 minute by pushing the
+ or – button.
Power save ranges from 1-60 minutes. If it is set to 0 the
power save mode is not active and the machine will be
heated continuously.
6.5.5 Dierent seal times left and right (optional)
To enable sealing 2 dierent products in a short time, the
seal time for the left and the right sealing pad can be set on a
dierent parameter
Push the -button three times. Change the time for the
left sealing pad in steps of 1 second by pushing the + or –
button.
If the time is set on 0 seconds the seal time left and right are
equal.

A description is given below of the messages in the display
which appear immediately after turning on the machine.
Further, we will discuss some failure codes that can be
displayed on the control panel display.
• During heating up of the machine the temperature,
pressure and time are displayed.
• During the press cycle the press time is displayed from
0 to the programmed sealing time
• Automatic mode ON/OFF is displayed with the Robot-
icon( ).

7. Assembly and installation
7.1 Assembly
To work seamlessly with the NL-15 R / SQR, it is very
important that the machine can dispose of supply
of clean, dry air. The water condenser is an additional
safety measure. Provide pressure of 4-6 bar from the
compressor or its own air supply.
Attach a tube with a diameter of 6 mm at the
compressor or own air supply and the air regulator of the NL-
15 R / SQR.
7.2 Installation
Upon delivery, the NL-15 R / SQR is fastened with straps
to a pallet. The arm of the machine is locked
with a bolt (M12). Lift the machine out of the box holding
it by this bolt and the handle.
Put the machine on a work table near an earthed socket.
Remove the bolt.
Take care that there is enough free space around the
machine.
Also take care that there are no items near the machine that
are sensitive to heat radiation.
If you have to move the machine at a later time, it is
recommended to pack it in a similar way. Let the press cool

8. Maintenance instructions
8.1 Daily maintenance
Clean the outside of the machine regularly with a clean,
moist cloth. First switch o the machine, let it cool down and
pull the plug out of the socket. The inner part of the press
must also be cleaned from dust now and then. First switch o
the current before performing this operation and remove the
bottom plate.
For good press results it is important to keep the press
surfaces clean. Therefore, clean the coating of the upper
plate with a clean, dry cloth. Do not touch the heating
element!
Also clean the rubber of the press shoe daily with a dry cloth.
Do not use solvents or other chemical substances to remove
impurities. Do not let buttons, zips, etc. come between the
plates. In this way, the silicone rubber will remain intact for a
long time.
8.2 Periodic maintenance
The mechanism of the NL-16 R / SQR needs no maintenance.
Run water from the separator at least once a week.
The rubber pad and the upper plate must be cleaned once
or several times daily. Clean them with a clean and dry
cloth when they have cooled down. They must be absolutely
smooth and clean.
Both the and the lower press pad should be replaced
regularly.
In order to replace the adhesive, the press machine must
be warm. Remove the old pad and carefully remove all
glue residues from the metal surface. The surface must be
absolutely clean and smooth, so that the new sticks well.
Teon replacement
In order to be able to replace the teon of the upper platen,
the press needs to be warmed up until 80 °C. Remove the
worn teon sheet and remove glue residue carefully from the
metal surface by using a scraper or a putty knife.
After this, brush the surface with with a copper wire brush.
Finally clean the upper platen with a soft cloth. The newly
applied teon will only adhere well when the surface is com-
pletely clean.
