WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and
off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
USING YOUR ROBERTS SEAMING IRON
1. Select a clear area near the beginning of your seam to place your iron for
heating. Set the iron in its base and place the base on a solid surface,
such as a piece of plywood or a piece of scrap carpet.
2. Make sure your extension cord is long enough to reach the end of your
seam. Place all required materials and tools within reach.
3. Plug the iron into a household (120-volt) socket and set the thermostat
control located on the front of the handle to your desired temperature
setting. Consult your tape manufacturer's instructions for the proper heat
range. The chart below shows the thermostat knob settings for various
temperature ranges.

4. Allow the iron to reach operating temperature, according to the
approximate time chart above. Let the iron cycle several times before you
begin seaming.
5. Test the iron for proper temperature on your tape or a piece of scrap tape
to get the desired melting of the adhesive.
NOTE: For Roberts Heat Bond tapes, we recommend a setting of 2
or 3 on the temperature control knob.
