Heat Press - Steps to get it operational?

The heat press has yet to be got into working order.

What do we have to do to fix it? I’ve got a fortnight to make a flag…

@howard?

Maybe you just didn’t turn the thermostat up ?

Everyone’s been saying it doesn’t work. Are you saying it does?

If you don’t know how to use it you probably need to do the induction !
Not a bad idea because it can burn you or be left on accidentally.
Several people think it doesn’t work which is probably a good thing.
Sooner or later I will add some safety features.

Lol…I’m a witness it actually works. But definitely worth a quick how-to use for safety measures.

Howard, Chanelle and Cibele know how to use it.

Features to be added :
Indicator lights,
Digital thermostat,
Centigrade display,
Auto off,
High temperature warning
Longer mains lead

Can I be inducted? Will flesh out the wiki page too.

Going back to basics…we need a Risk Assessment for it. This will indicate if an induction is needed to mitigate risks before use. This needs to be done on the tool in its present state, and needs to be looked at again if safety features are added.

Hate to gravedig, but is this Heat Press now serviceable?

It works. It doesn’t have a RA. I intend to run a one-off tour/induction on printing t-shirts using the vinyl cutter and heat-press. But – life has been upside-down for the past month or so, and will be for some time yet.
