3.2.3
Heat Bonding - Fusing
3.2.4
Ensure that the heat setting
and dwell time setting are correct for
the material being used.
3.2.5
Adjust the pressure
setting of the machine by rotating the
adjusting knob situated at the rear of the machine. (See exploded
diagram in this manual. Clockwise for more pressure,
anticlockwise for less pressure.
3.2.6
Adjust the position
of the silicone pad table to align with the cap
with the heat plate by loosening the locking knob situated
underneath the silicone pad table, positioning it as required (front
to back) and retightening the locking knob.
3.2.7
Hook the cap
under the cap tensioning arm and pull the cap onto
the silicone pad table.
3.2.8
Place the transfer
in the desired position on the work.
3.2.9
Gently pull the handle
forward into the lock position, using both
hands for safety and ensuring the work is firmly clamped between
the heat plate and pressure pad.
3.2.10
When the pre-set dwell time
has been reached, a buzzer will
sound. The heat plate should then be lifted by pushing the handle
back to its full extent. The handle should be held until the up
position is reached to remove the possibility of injury to the
operator’s face from an uncontrolled upward movement of the
handle.
3.3
Material Fusing
3.3.1
When the press is to be used
for the fusing of fusible
interlining/heat bonding etc., ascertain from the supplier of the
material to be used, the correct settings for time and temperature
for the process.
Approximate settings are usually within the following:-
120
o
- 170
o
C (250
o
- 340
o
F)
Heat Setting
5 - 30 seconds
Time Dwell Setting
The method of operation
for fusing is the same as for transfer
printing.
During the fusing operation
it will be found to be advantageous
to lay a piece of PTFE cover material (the same size as the table),
over the article being fused. This will act as an anti-stick barrier to
prevent strike through of any surplus adhesive from the fusible
materials adhering to the heat plate of the press.

- 200
o
C (284-392
o
F) - Heat setting
5 to 15 seconds - Time dwell setting
