Application range and sample adjustments of the heat press

This press is used to put transfers and transfer films on textiles. To get good achievements, get in contact with the producer of the textiles. Here are
some settings:
Film FlexS 155°C – 160°C
Film A-Flex 155°C – 165°C
Film Flock 160°C – 180°C
Sublimation 190°C – 205°C
All information is supplied without liability, please run your own testing before production.

Safety arrangements of the heat press

The SCHULZE Cap Press is equipped with different safety arrangements, to make a safe usage possible.
Main fuse 6A
The fuse 6A is placed on the left side of the press, under the power supply cable. In case of overcharge, the main fuse prevents the heat press from
getting damaged. Once the fuse was activated, it has to be replaced. The instruction for replacing the main fuse can be found in chapter 4.3.
Thermal fuse
The thermal fuse is placed directly on the heating plate and it stops the power supply if the temperature exceeds 260°C. If the fuse is activated, the
temperature sinks down to 90°C. After that the power supply gets activated again and the temperature of the heating plate rises and it's possible
to continue the work with the press. Over time the thermal fuse may wear out and cut off the power supply by lower temperature, for example by
180°C. In such case it's needed to replace the thermal fuse as soon as possible. The instruction for the replacement of the thermal fuse can be
found in chapter 4.7.
Acoustic signal
3 seconds before the end of the pressing process an acoustic signal will sound.
Automatic switch-off
If the heat press does not open automatically after 15 seconds, the heating elements stop working automatically to prevent over-burning and
damages.

Safety arrangements at the workplace

Set-up and installation of the heat press
The set-up and installation of the press has to be done under supervision of an authorized person by the company owner. The press should be
situated on the, non-inflammable surface, in a room with constant temperature and constant moisture. Keep the machine away from dusty rooms,
because dust could have a negative influence on some parts of the machine. Very important! The machine may be connected only to an
installation provided with a protection against electric shock. The heat press should be placed on a flat surface. The table top should be adjusted to
the height of the operator. The machine is destined for industrial use only.
Testing the machine
After the correct installation of the machine it is important to ensure that the machine works properly, is not damaged after the transportation and
has no safety defects. The testing can only be done by the employer or other authoriszed persons. It is mandatory to guarantee a correct
installation and safe usage of the machine. After receiving the machine, check the packaging. The testing should be protocoled. If any
irregularities regarding functionality or safety are found during the testing, these has to be noted and reported to Walter Schulze GmbH in written
form within 7 days. Until the clarification the machine can not be used.
Information and education
According to §81 the industrial law and § 14 employment protection law (german law), the advice from the producer and general safety
arrangements at the workplace, the employer has to make arrangements to give all information about the safety, function and the range of
application to the user. In particular the user needs to be acquainted with the complete manual and be explicitly informed of the dangers of working
with the machine. The details have to be explained in a coherent form and language. Every user is obligated to a safe usage of the machine and to
read the manual instruction before start working with the machine. Using the machine means, that the operator has read the instruction and is
aware of the possible risks of working with the machine.
Safety arrangements
In order to ensure optimized safety, please read the instruction manual precisely. Only one person is allowed to work on the machine at the time.
The machine has to be under supervision the whole time, when it's working. Supervise the machine till it is switched off and the power plug is pulled
out. There should be no unauthorized persons near the machine while it's working. Beware of the heating plate – risk of burns. The operator is
allowed to use personal protective equipment (protective gloves). Attention! The press opens automatically - keep the safety clearance! The
power plug has to be pulled out of the power supply, while maintenance. Using the press with certain materials may create a strong smell. That's
why the user should evaluate the need for a ventilation system at the workplace. The type of ventilation should be used as needed and depends on
the size of the room and used materials. The machine has to be installed at a place with enough space around the machine. The space in front of
the machine has to be wide enough. Nothing can disturb the operator at work. Do not install the machine in doors, floors or busy places. All wires
should be placed in a safe way, to make sure they will not pose a threat for the person working at the machine or passing it. In case of damages or
untypical signals from the machine, please disconnect the machine from the power supply, contact the service and do not work with the machine,
till the problem is solved. All repairs should be performed after consulting the service. Do not remove machine covers while the machine is working.
