Familiarise yourself with this products application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the press. Maintain the press in good condition (use an authorised service agent). Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Non authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. Keep the press clean for best and safest performance. Locate the press in a suitable working area for its function, keep area clean, tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure there is adequate lighting. Ensure the workpiece is correctly secured before operating the press.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the press. Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, loose jewellery and contain long hair. Keep hands and body clear of the work table when operating the press. Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non slip steel toe-capped shoes/boots. Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area. DO NOT operate the press if any parts are missing as this may cause failure or possible personal injury. DO NOT use to compress springs or any other item that could disengage and cause a potential hazard. DO NOT stand directly in front of the loaded press and never leave a loaded press unattended. DO NOT force the press to achieve a task it was not designed to perform. DO NOT make any modifications to the press. DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve. DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press. DO NOT apply off centre loads. DO NOT allow the workpiece or the arbor plates to fall from the press working bench. DO NOT get the press wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation. DO NOT operate the press when you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication. When not in use release pressure from the pump and clean the press. Stand or store the arbors in a safe location. WARNING! Always position the press against a wall. If the press is situated in the open workshop, it is essential that a guard be placed at the rear of the unit. This will prevent injury to bystanders in the event of the work piece ejecting suddenly. WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied by the operator. DANGER! The press is top heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top crossbeam, or lift direct with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam. DO NOT use a pallet truck.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Steel frame construction with hydraulic pump unit. Sliding hydraulic ram assembly with lateral travel for off-centre pressing applications. Fitted with ram pressure gauge. Supplied with flat pressing plate/V-blocks.

INSTALLATION.
Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account clearance for working pieces. DANGER! The press is top heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top crossbeam, or lift direct with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam. DO NOT use a pallet truck.

DANGER! Press’s are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons, always ensure the workpiece is secured on the table to ensure loads that flex will not suddenly “give” causing danger to operator or damage to component. Ensure you have read and understood safety instructions. WARNING! DO NOT apply off centre loads. When work is complete turn the release valve anti-clockwise to release the pressure and the piston and the ram head will retract automatically. Always keep the piston retracted after use. Disconnect the air valve from the air supply.

Purge hydraulic system.
Before operating the press, the hydraulic system may require purging in order to eliminate any air that may have built up during transit. Open the release valve by turning anti-clockwise and pump the handle several times. Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating this procedure may resolve the problem. DANGER! Press’s are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop.
