Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating and maintaining heat presses. Only authorized and trained personnel may operate the equipment, and they must read and understand the manufacturer's operating instructions. Pre-start checks include ensuring the machine is connected to a circuit protected by an RCD or safety switch, inspecting tags on power leads, and placing the press in a clean, dry, and stable location.

Operational precautions emphasize avoiding contact with hot surfaces, ensuring guards are in place over heating platens, and keeping hands away from moving parts. Operators should work directly in front of the press, ensuring sufficient clearance around swing-away models. Cleaning and maintenance require the machine to cool before cleaning platen surfaces and power to be switched off. Electrical maintenance must only be performed by qualified personnel. Following these guidelines ensures safe and effective use of heat presses.
