WHEN USING YOUR APPLIANCE, BASIC PRE-CAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Use appliance only for its intended use.

3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance 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, let appliance cool completely before putting away.

6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance, take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used.

7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.

8. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts.

9. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high voltage appliance on the same circuit.

10. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 20 ampere rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat, care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.

Operating Instructions

STX CLAM PRESS

The STX CLAM PRESS Operating Instructions are designed with you in mind. Carefully read and follow the step-by-step instructions for best results. If you experience any difficulty, carefully re-read the instructions and try again.

CONNECT THE POWER CORD:

Connect the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet with a sufficient amperage rating.

120 Volt

240 Volt

Extension Cords, if used, should be as short as possible and not less than 12 gauge. Heavy duty cords are recommended.

Circuits that have under 15 amps or other high demand equipment or appliances (especially more than one heat seal machine) should notbe used.

NOTE:If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufactureror its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.Use HSJ type, rated 250 V - 10 AMP for replacement.

Your STX CLAM PRESS requires a full 15 amp grounded circuit for 120 volt operation.

Your STX CLAM PRESS requires a full 7.5 amp grounded circuit for 240 volt operation.

Step 1

Pay particular attention to the risk of burns which can be sustained by touching the heatedplaten during use.

Keep hands clear from the platens of the press during platen lock down as the pressurecan cause injury.

Press should be placed on a sturdy suitable stand at least 36”L x 24”W x 29”H.

Work area must be kept clean, tidy and free of obstructions to the movements of the heat press.

Power supply cord must be disconnected before cleaning or servicing press.
