How much pressure does it take to clamp the hat? It may just be cranked down too tight on the adjustment which would make it hit when swinging over the hat.

The center knob in the back that fine tunes the pressure does so by raising and lowering the heating element relative to the platen so if it is turned to tight the heating element will be too low to clear the hat when swinging. My is a different brand but the exact same setup and I had the same problem when I got it.

i may have to try that drawer slide idea....but that kinda defeats the purpose of the swing-away part...lol

 

anyway i tested it out on the back of the hats..

I would suggest that SP would be Set Point, AL1 might be Alarm 1and AL2 might be Alarm 2 (like for pre heat, and final temp point). I don't know, but that is just a suggestion! Good luck!!!
