Electrical requirements (cont.) As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:- The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug, which is marked by the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol coloured green, or green and yellow.
3.1.2 Turn on the Beta Swift; the on/off switch is to the right of the controller. When the set temperature is steady in the display the machine is ready to use.
Pressing Pad Assembly (cont.) rubber. The pressing pad must be maintained in good condition at all times and replaced when showing signs of wear. A worn pressing pad will always affect the quality of printing/fusing. Do not insert items into the machine, which would tend to cut the pressing pad, i.e. buttons, pins, press-studs or zips.
4. Maintenance of the Machine Daily Maintenance For good press results it is important to keep the press surfaces clean. Wipe the surface of the heat plate with a dry non-abrasive cloth before use when the plate is cold. When heat plates are hot and not in use, keep open position away from the silicone pad.
