THE MAXX® PRESS
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
qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly or repair could increase the
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the equipment is used. Power supply cord must be
disconnected before cleaning or servicing press.

8. Close supervision is necessary for any heat press being used by or near children. Do not leave equipment
unattended while connected.

amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped
over.
