Maybe they know what was going wrong with it. I certainly don't think the noises you mention are normal by any means, but wheter they are actually harmful to more than your eardrums is hard to say for sure.

Twinge, the timer suggestion makes sense. It's funny because it'll be quite as long as it's open, but once you shut it and it's already above certain degree it just goes beeeeep. But, I came up with a solution last night - I set the press to a few degress higher than what I want for the application. Once it's at that heat I turn it off, and then start pressing as it cools down - silencia This would probably drive me up the wall if I were to do a bunch of shirts at once (turn it on then off and again) but it's working for now.

The person who sold it to me was not the actual owner and didn't know much about presses. I am also thinking about calling the Knight corp. (they are local for me) and see maybe it's worth taking a look at and fixing it if it's not a big deal.
