Safety First
Operating on a stable location
• Be sure the machine is placed on a sturdy, even surface. If
you are using a cart or stand, make sure the legs are properly
secured with no damage. Plastic tables aren’t recommended
as the machine can dent through the surface over time.
Remove all liquids out of the area
• Do not operate the machine with any liquids or chemicals
nearby that could potentially spill onto the machine. This
would create a high risk of electrical shock or re.
Plugging the machine into a direct electrical
outlet
• It is highly recommended to keep the machine plugged into
its own isolated circuit, as it could potentially overload the
breaker. If you do plan on using an extension cord, make sure
it is rated for at least 20 amps which, is a 10 gauge cord or
thicker. If you plan on using a surge protector or power strip,
make sure the specications will support your machine. Using
an insufcient power strip or surge protector can stall your heat
press from reaching its desired temperature.
