SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•

Due to the weight of the press, the help of an assistant will be beneficial

during assembly and installation.

•

Always operate the press with adequate light.

•

Before starting work, check for signs of cracked welds, loose or missing

bolts, or any other structural damage. Do not operate if any of these

conditions exist. Have repairs made only by authorised service centre.

•

Before work, always ensure that hydraulic hoses and couplings are

completely sound.

•

Never tamper with the press components. The safety valve is calibrated

and sealed at the factory; do not attempt to change the setting.

•

Use only the recommended hydraulic oil.

•

The components of this press are designed to withstand the rated

capacity. Do not substitute any other components or exceed the rated

capacity of the press.

•

Before applying pressure, always ensure the workpiece is firmly secure

and stable.

•

Always clean up spills of hydraulic oil immediately as this can be

dangerous in a workshop environment.

•

Do not allow any person who is unfamiliar with hydraulic presses to use

the press unless they are under direct supervision.

•

Do not stand directly in front of the press when it is in use.

•

Always apply the load under the centre of the ram. Offset loads can

damage the ram and may cause the work piece to be ejected.

•

Always ensure the work piece is properly supported by the press bed.

•

When using accessories such as pressing plates, be certain they are

centered below the ram and are in full contact with the bed.

•

Parts being pressed may shatter or be ejected from the press. In the

case of varied applications, it is your responsibility to always use

adequate guards, and wear eye protection and protective clothing

when using this press.

•

Keep hands and fingers away from parts that may pinch or shift.

•

Never use extension tubes to increase the length of the pump handle.

Excessive effort can cause damage and/or accidents.

•

Failure to heed these warnings may result in damage to the equipment,

or serious personal injury.
