Inject!
- It is advised to place your machine on a level surface and, for increased stability, secure it to the floor.
- Ensure the use of safety equipment when operating the machine, including heat-resistant gloves, goggles, a gas mask, and safety clothing. A well-ventilated area is also recommended.
- When buying molds, ensure they have a chamfered nozzle (not threaded) to fit properly with the cap nut used for the nozzle.
