Safety First
CAUTION
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG MACHINE WHEN NOT IN USE
Removing the machine out of the box
• These units can weigh up to a 140 lbs. Please use caution when lifting these machines out of the box. Ask for assistance and lift using your legs to stand up and keeping your back completely straight when doing so. Do not arch or hyperextend your back as it can lead to serious injuries.
Inspect the machine for any damages or missing parts
• Inspect the entire machine for any damages that could potentially be a hazard. Make sure the arm structure does not have any cracks and the joints are properly secured. Check the power cord to make sure it hasn’t been dropped on and the internal wires aren’t exposed. If you see any concerning

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 specications will support your machine. Using an insufcient power strip or surge protector can stall your heat
press from reaching its desired temperature.
