# Inspect equipment and facility to ensure no obvious damage. Report any damage on the broken slack channel so the equipment can be repaired.
# Ensure there is sufficient room to perform the operation being attempted: move the heat press through its full range of motion while it is cold to make sure it won't hit anything or anyone. 
# Ensure that the area around the heat press is clear and free from clutter.
# Ensure that the heat press is sitting on a stable and sturdy table.
# Plug in and turn on the machine.
# Verify that the F (Fahrenheit) indicator is lit; if it is not, see section "Changing the setting from Celsius to Fahrenheit."
# Set the temperature and time depending on your project.  Data sheets for shop supplied materials are on the side of the material shelf.
# Confirm temperature is set correctly by pressing TEMP button and using up and down arrows to set. Press TEMP button again when desired temperature is displayed.

## Be careful: if you let go of the handle before the Heat Press is fully open, it will spring open with a lot of force that might be enough to move the whole machine.
