level floor .

• The machine should be protected against dust
and moisture.

• The machine must not be placed near the heating
units or ventilation units.

• The machine should not be used in vicinity
of inflammable liquids or gases.

• The machine may be power supplied only through
the original cord. A mains socket should be provided
with an efficient earthing. The supply voltage should
be consistent with the parameters specified on the
technical plate located on the machine housing.
If this principle is not obeyed, then electric shock
and fire may occur.

• The supplying cable should be protected against
any damage, must not be used to pull the machine
or to remove the plug from a socket .

• Making any changes to the electric installation of the
machine or in the supplying cable causes the hazard
of electric shock.

• The machine is turned off completely after removing
the plug from a socket.

• During a long standstill or before replacing the
machine, the plug should be removed from a mains
socket.

• Before removing the housing from the machine,
remove the plug from a socket necessarily.

• The power pack module is installed in the machine
base and provided with a mains fuse (access from
the bottom of the machine). If replacement of the
fuse is necessary, this should be effected by a suitably
qualified person.

• Do not touch the heater –

off the foil) – pay special attention when using the
device or operating nearby.

• The machine should be kept away from children reach.

• It is necessary to check if the machine operates
correctly. In case of any malfunctions, contacting
the servicing point is required

• The machine must not be located outside, should be
operated in room temperature higher than +8C/46,4 F.

General information

The GoldPress machine was designed to
make hot stampings on paper or card
board covers, as well as on covers coated
with glued paper sheets. It is also possible
to make hot stamps on plastic or plastic
coated materials, however the tests should
be carried out previously to check if the
material is suitable for the purpose.
The use of fonts makes it possible to com­pose any inscription (various kinds of fonts,
also in various languages and sizes, are
available) and to apply it on a cover or
another surface. It is also possible to pre­pare a special matrix (e.g. a logo) consis­tent with the GOLDCOVER standard. Also,
thanks to an O.Goldchannel Base device,
the imprintments on channels (backs of
OPUS covers) can be made.
The detailed information concerning exten­sion of the possibilities of the machine can
be obtained from the supplier.

Operation of the machine does not need
special qualifications, however:

Before starting the work the operator
should read the manual carefully.

The GoldPress is built on the basis of an
eccentric press. It is fitted with a heater
(enabling to make hot stamps) and a micro­processor controller with a digital display to
maintain precisely a set temperature and
stamping time, which ensures constant
work conditions. A frame with a matrix or
fonts that form an inscription is mounted on
the heater. Side guide and a ruler make it
possible to position a cover in relation to
the central point of the frame. A movable
knife enables to cut off a required piece of
hot stamping foil.
A special container to store the fonts in
order is also available as an option.

Transport and storage:

• The GoldPress is an office device electri­cally supplied and adapted to operation
in office conditions. Both the machine
and its package should not be exposed
to moisture (e.g. rain).

• If moistened or flooded with water, the
machine should be delivered to a ser­vicing point to carry out an inspection,
in order to avoid a risk of electric
shock.

• The machine should be stored in plus
Celsius temperatures (above 32F)

• Although the package protects the
machine, it should be handled with care.

Installation

• The machine does not need disassem­bling of transport protections.

• It is recommended to store the package
in case of repeated transportation

• The GoldPress is a machine adapted to
operating in office conditions.

• The machine does not work if the room
temperature is lower than +8 C/46,4 F

• The machine should be positioned on a
suitably tough, flat and stable surface.

• The rubber legs of the machine protect
the substrate against being scratched
and do not leave any traces.

• If the machine was exposed to minus
Celsius temperatures (below 32F), it may
be connected to mains after several
dozens of minutes due to condensation
of steam on cold metal elements.

• To ensure operator’s safety, the
machine may be supplied only
through the original cord. A mains
socket should be provided with effi­cient earthing. The supply voltage
must be consistent with the parame­ters specified on the technical plate
positioned on the machine housing.
Disobeying the above rule may result
in electric shock or fire.

Preparation for work:

1. Mount the back guide (the one without
the scale) at the back of the machine by
putting the screw of the guide into the
slot.

2. Insert the plug into a mains socket.

Note!
Make sure the temperature of the
room where the machine is placed
exceeds +8 C/46,4 F. If it does not, the
machine will not work.
