Thank you for purchasing this heat press from USCutter.
following are important things you need to know before you begin:
• Intended usage of this Heat Press: This heat press is designed to
press heat transfer vinyl (HTV), sublimation and transfer papers
onto soft garments.
Do not attempt to set the temperature on this device at higher than
480 degrees Fahrenheit as it will burn out the heating element.
Also avoid use of this heat press for other activities such as food
preparation or extraction of oils from plant materials and other
alternative uses.
Use of this heat press in a manner other than intended will void the
warranty, will damage the machine, and may constitute a fire hazard.
• Preserve the shipping carton: Please do not discard or disassemble
the carton this heat press came in. It was designed to hold the
weight of this machine during shipping.
Should you need to return the equipment due to warranty or repair,
you will need it. Do not attempt to ship this equipment in a different
container.
• Follow manufacturer instructions on materials you press: Always
use recommended settings from the manufacturer for any material
used in this press. Those instructions are usually always available
on-line from the material maker.
Instructions on the most common and recommended materials are
enclosed within this documentation.
The
• Test before you press: We encourage you to always do a test
of your fabric and HTV or transfer paper together using a small
sample of the materials before you do volume production.
If possible your test should include actually washing and drying a
pressed garment to assure that the media has properly adhered
to the garment using the heat and pressure setting you have
selected.
• Use extreme care during operation: Please also be careful as you
operate the heat press. During operation the platens will get hot
enough to do serious injury to you should you touch them, and
surrounding metal parts will also reach high temperatures.
Please educate children and others around this equipment that
it is not a toy and can cause severe burns and/or injury if the unit
is closed onto fingers or other body parts.
• Electrical Source: This heat press is designed for the North
American market and is designed to plug into a standard
household 3 prong outlet. (110-120V/60Hz.) Do not attempt to
use this press with a two prong electrical cord or otherwise use
it without proper grounding.
