IV. USING THE MACHINE
The press SUBLIMAX 1812 was designed for the application of transfers of all grades.
This equipment has been tested in our workshops to get a one year warranty against manufacturing
defects.
Power settings, mechanical and pneumatic submitted by our technicians in the workshop as well as the
security established on the machine should never be changed. Otherwise, the SEFA ® company will
deny all responsibility on potential problems associated with said machine.
Before starting any pressing operation, it is recommended that you read the safety instructions and the
instructions for use.
The press should be used by an authorized person and having been informed of the risks that may be
caused by improper use of the equipment

Important point for security :
Don’t touch the hot parts of the equipment while in use.
During handling action, ensure the operator does not take any risk in terms of burns, electrocution or
other.
Proceed with a daily inspection of the machine before starting the production .
Make sure nobody is around or near the machine before you start it up.
If the machine does not work properly, shut down immediately all energy supplies and search for the
cause by using the book’s « Maintenance » chapter.

The main security devices are:
The emergency off
Located on the left side of the console of the machine as well as on both arms by pressing one of them the machine
is switched off and the cold plate goes down.
The photocell
Situated to the front of the heating plate, it ensures that the operator is remote from the heating plate during the
rise of the pressing plate.

7. Place the item to be marked on the bottom plate,
8. Adjust the transfer sheet,
9. Press the "Cycle Start" and hold off the truck green button : the carriages move,
10. The cold plate rises and presses the heating, activating the timer board.
11. At the end of the timer countdown, cold plate descends down position.
12. Repeat the process from 6 if the settings do not change (except No. 3)
During the cycle: On the touch screen "Stop pressing" allows interrupt pressing and lowers the pressure plate
Pressing the button “cycle start” stops the pressing, lowers the pressure plate and reverse the tray carts.
