Product Usage Instructions
-
Safety Precautions:
Before using the heat bond iron, ensure you read and understand all safety warnings provided in the user manual. Avoid cord abuse and follow the recommended safety guidelines to prevent electric shock and fire hazards. -
Assembly:
Assemble the necessary components according to the user manual instructions. Ensure all parts are securely attached to the iron before plugging it in. -
Temperature Adjustment:
Use the adjustable thermostat to set the desired temperature for your heat bonding application. Wait for the iron to reach the set temperature before use. -
Heat Bonding Process:
Place the heat bond iron on top of the seam tape and allow it to cool. Once cooled, peel off the tape to remove any adhesive residue from the iron base efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: Can I wrap the cord tightly around the iron for storage?
A: No, it is advised not to wrap the cord tightly around the iron to prevent cord abuse and potential hazards. -
Q: How do I clean the heat bond iron?
A: To clean the iron, ensure it has cooled down completely, then wipe the base with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the iron in water.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:
- Please read all instructions.
- To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
- The iron should always be turned to OFF before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
- Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away.
- Loop cord loosely around iron handle when storing. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord, or if the iron has been dropped and damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to an authorized dealer or send it back to Crain for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock.
- Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used near children. Do not leave the iron unattended.
- Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts.
- This product is intended for use wrth carpet seaming tapes ONLY.
- The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
- The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains (plugged-in to power).
- WARNING – This tool must be placed on its stand when not in use.
- When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
- This is an 850-watt appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
- This iron has a three-prong, grounded plug. It should be plugged into three-hole outlets. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong outlet, the adapter wire must be attached to a known ground. NEVER remove ground terminal from a three-prong plug.
- If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10- ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat, causing slow heating of the iron. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over.
- DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER!
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

FEATURES
- Non-stick Coated Sole Plate: For easy cleaning.
- Heating Element: Uses an “$”-shaped heating element, creating more uniform heat throughout the sole plate.
- Air-Cooled Heat Shield: At maximum heat setting, the heat shield stays remarl<ably cool, at only 127°C. At this temperature, the heat shield is still hot enough to preheat the carpet’s backing to accept the hot melt adhesive.
- Dual Indicator Lights: Situated on top of the handle, the lights are easy to read and show both “power-on” and “heating status”.
- Power-On Light: Green indicator light, glows when the iron is plugged into an electric outlet and is in use. If the Temperature Dial Knob is turned Off, the light will continue to glow as long as the iron is plugged in.
- Heating Status Light: Red indicator light, which glows during the heat-up period, and then turns-off when the maximum temperature is reached. While operating, the light will continue going on and off whenever the iron is reheating itself.
- Temperature Dial Knob : Situated at the front of the handle, it is easy to read. There are four temperature settings, ranging from 104 °C to 215°C. Settings approximately corresponds to: #1 = 104°C #2 = 143°C #3 = 182°C #4 = 215°C
- Angle-Out Tip: The sole plate has an angle-out tip at the back, this feature will prevent “dragging-off” the hot melt adhesive, especially in doorway situations where the iron is removed by angting it up and out.
- 3.6m Power Cord: The cord is long enough for most average rooms without using an extension cord.
- Swiveling Power Cord : Positions the cord to the left or the right to keep it out of the working area behind the iron.
USING THE IRON
- Set the temperature dial knob to its highest setting (#4}. Once the iron has heated, adjust the temperature down to a safe temperature for the kind of carpet and ambient temperature where you’re installing. Be careful not to overheat carpets with synthetic backings or yarns, as shrinking and discoloration may result. If iron is running too cool, a weak seam may result. A test seam is often a good idea.
- When the proper temperature has been selected, place the iron between the carpet edges, and on top of the seaming tape. When the adhesive is thoroughly melted, move the iron and press the carpet’s backing into the adhesive.
- Operating speed varies, depending on carpet construction and ambient temperature. At maximum temperature, the iron should seam at about 1 meter per minute.
IRON MAINTENANCE
- Keep your iron clean, preventing residual glue build-up. Excessive build-up can cause malfunction of internal mechanisms, undesirable smoke and odor, or fire.
- The sole plate of your iron is coated with a non-stick material. Do not use a metal iron cleaning device or any sharp object to remove old adhesive. To remove old adhesive, let the iron cool completely, and peel off adhesive by hand. Another method of removing adhesive is to place the hot iron on a piece of seam tape, then turning the iron off. Let the iron cool on top of the seam tape. After the iron has cooled, peel the tape off the base of the iron. This removes all adhesive from the base quickly and easily.
