Introduction Thank you for your purchase. Your EZFORM SV 1217 vacuum forming machine is designed to be portable and powerful enough to perform most tasks. One of its unique features is that it can be plugged into a regular household outlet and it uses a specially designed 110 -120 volt 1500 Watts (approximately 12.5 amps) heating element, which is extremely durable and has a long life. The only thing you will need is a vacuum source such as a household vacuum/shop vac or a vacuum pump.
Step 4 At this point the oven is warming up. It usually takes about 2-3 minutes for the initial warm-up after that you can form parts in a series with no delay. After the oven has warmed up bring the frame down (half way) open the thumb screw and the frame, place the plastic on the bottom frame and tighten the thumb screws. The frame is adjustable in the rear to accommodate different plastic thicknesses, simply loosen the screws in the back and adjust.
out of the vacuum formed part you can use compressed air and blow some air between the formed part and the mold, this will make it easier to separate the two in some cases. Chalk dust or other release agents can also be used on the mold to make the separation easier (Not on clear plastics).

There are other plastics like Vinyl, PVC, Acrylic, Clear Acetate Butyrate, Kydex, Polyethylene but we recommend PETG, ABS, and Styrene since most plastic suppliers carry them and they are fairly inexpensive and easy to form. Also some plastics can generate some smoke or undesired odors and a respirator may be required. Maintenance: This machine does not require much maintenance due to its simplicity.
1-Try drilling tiny (1/16 inch) holes in the mold especially in recessed parts where the vacuum will have a hard time pulling 2-Make sure the vacuum has no leaks and has good suction (check the filter) 3-Heat the plastic a little longer or use thinner plastic 4-Use a vacuum pump in conjunction to the shop vac Using storage tanks and other vacuum pumps with the machine: This machine is equipped with 2 suction ports on the left side they do not to be plugged or covered since they will open only when suction
