Material Clamps
. These clamps fix the Clamp Frame firmly down. After placing the plastic under the
clamp frame the material clamps are adjusted by tightening or loosening the orange nutlets. The levers are
pulled up until they are fully over-centre. Adjustment may only be carried out while not under pressure. The

. This carries the heating elements and is drawn forward by pulling the centrally mounted
handle.
6.
Table Lever
. When pulled towards you the table will rise to the upper limit. A further application of
pressure will lock the table in this position. During forming the table complete with mould is lifted into the
hot plastic and locked in place to ensure a good vacuum seal. At the end of the cycle the table is returned
to the lower position by pushing the handle back and away.
7.
Air pressure outlet
.
The air pressure outlet lets you power other equipment that require air pressure and
this is created by the exhaust from the vacuum pump. Do not connect compressed air to this outlet.
