Initial Requirements (508DT &508FS)
1. Ensure the machine is turned on and has the
appropriate air supply (508FS only).
2. With the heater fully back, raise the table to the
top position by pushing the table lever closer to you.
3. Place your mold onto the table. A sheet of wire
mesh is supplied with the machine to assist with
Vacuum air flow under the mould tool.
4. Fix the mould tool in place. Lower the table by
pushing the table lever away from you.
5. Open the material clamps (see general
arrangement) and raise the clamp frame. Ensure
the counterweights are set so that the clamp
frame is correctly balanced (508FS only).

two material clamps. The plastic should
completely cover the white seals around the
aperture. Adjust the toggle clamp screws to
properly grip the plastic.
