UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and
check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any
packing material.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a
degreaser or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to
allow for cleaning the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally
have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted
surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to
stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.
WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic
bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children
and animals.
If any parts are missing, DO NOT place the machine into service until the missing
parts are obtained and installed correctly.
WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
IMPORTANT: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers,
such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the
lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:
The lift truck must be able to lift at
least 1.5 – 2 times the machines
gross weight.
Make sure the machine is balanced.
While transporting, avoid rough or
jerky motion, and maintain a safe
clearance zone around the transport
area.
Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting
capacity and forks that are long
enough to reach the complete width
of the machine.
Remove the securing bolts that
attach the machine to the pallet.
Approaching the machine from the
side, lift the machine on the frame
taking care that there are no cables
or pipes in the area of the forks.
Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:
Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting holes provided at the top of the machine.
Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the
machine.
Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
Overall weight of the machine.
Weight of material being processed.
Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits
and/or outlets.
Anchoring the Machine
Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown
in the diagram, using bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie
rods that connect through holes in the base of the stand.

ELECTRICAL
Power Specifications
Your tool is wired for 220 volts, 60Hz alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power
source, make sure the machine is cut off from power source.
Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if
they meet with the requirement, the allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency
is ±1%.
Considerations
Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current
is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool.
All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY
A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.
WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected
to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if
any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
WARNING: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

OPERATION PREPLANNING
This is a general discussion on press operation and is not intended to be an exact step-by-step
procedure. This is intended to create a broad thought process to be considered prior to using
the press to stimulate the operator into thinking about as many possible scenarios that could
cause injury or material damage. The operator should then take all steps they can think of to
prevent or protect against such possible scenarios
The following is a listing of some of the most common procedures the operator shall take
into consideration and employ. The specific application will require the operator to
address any items not covered here.
Provide a container or applicable padding under the press to protect the part when it drops.
Positions the heel plates to support the workpiece, and aligns the press pin or tooling on the
part to be pressed.
Preload the workpiece prior to proceeding with the full pressing operation.
View the setup from various angles, and verify that the ram remains aligned with and
centered with the workpiece and the bed.
Relieves the hydraulic pressure and allows the ram to return to the retracted position.
Workpiece Considerations
Before using this hydraulic press, you must inspect the workpiece. This is not a comprehensive
list but rather a list of common issues. It is up to you to address any additional special items
required to prepare your workpiece for press operations. Not addressing the items below can
lead to galled, seized, or broken housings. Ignoring any of the items listed can lead to a
workpiece or tooling being ejected from the press, which could cause severe injury or death.
Material Strength: Make sure that the workpiece material is designed to withstand the
intended force the press will apply.
Material Cleanliness: Make sure that the workpiece is clean and that all burrs, grit, rust, or
damage is removed from the pressing path. Light oiling on the components may prevent
galling or seizing.
WARNING: Failure to center the piece part on the blocks and the ram to
the piece part may cause serious injury.
Never compress springs or objects that when compressed, could shatter, or explode
out of the press causing serious injury.
22
22
Pressing Path and Sequence: Make sure that the direction of the component to be pressed
on or off is correct and that the correct size of sleeve or arbor plate is used for support.
Fasteners and Retainers: Make sure that all retaining rings, pins, or fasteners are removed,
and no hidden secondary retainers are present.
Hidden Objects: Some components house one or more pieces such and springs, retaining
rings, or spacers. Make sure that the part to be dismantled with the press has the applicable
caging system to catch hidden items. Should the workpiece slip or open up when the
retaining ring is removed and the hydraulic pressure is relieved.
Special Fits: Make sure that interference fits are correct before pressing a part on, and
make sure that the applicable parts have been heated or chilled to the correct temperatures
to avoid galling and seizing. Be aware, that not all parts were designed to be pressed off. If
in doubt, refer to the OEM of the part you are working on.

The main disconnect switch is located on the
front of the electrical cabinet.
Turn the switch to the ON position to supply
power to the electrical controls. The red
indicator will light up as long as the
disconnect is ON.
Turn the switch to the OFF positon to
remove power to the operation controls.
On and Off Switches
The on and off switches are positioned on the
front of the electrical cabinet.
Press and release the green button will start
the motor of the hydraulic unit. There will be
no movement of any parts after the motor
runs. The green indicator will light up as long
as the motor is running.
Pushing the red button will stop the motor of
the hydraulic unit. All parts will stay in the
position they are at that moment.
Emergency Switch
The emergency switch is located on the front of
the electrical cabinet.
In the event of incorrect operation or dangerous
conditions, the machine can be stopped
immediately by pressing the E-STOP button. All other parts will stay in the position they are at
the moment. Twist the emergency stop button clockwise (cw) to reset. Note: Resetting the EStop will not start the machine.
To restart the hydraulic unit again
Make sure the incorrect or dangerous situation is solved.
Reset the red button by turning it counter clockwise. The button cap will pop-up again.
Actuate the hydraulic lever to the up and down position to relieve pressure from the hydraulic
system.
Push the green start button to start the hydraulic pump motor.
24
24
Direction Control Valve
The direction control valve is located in the top cover of the hydraulic unit.
The valve has 3 lever positions:
Middle position: When the lever has not been
operated, the valve will always return to this
position. There is no movement of the piston.
Up position: When the lever is pushed
inwards, the piston of the cylinder will raise.
As long as the valve is operated, the piston
will move until it is fully retracted. When the
lever is released, the piston will stop and stay
in this position. The lever will return to the
middle position.
Down position: When the lever is pulled
outwards, the piston of the cylinder will
extend. As long as the valve is operated, the
piston will move. When the lever is released,
the piston will stop and stay in this position.
The lever will return to the middle position.
Pressure Gauge
The pressure gauge is located on the top cover
of the hydraulic unit. The gauge gives the
pressure in mPa and PSI. The maximum
pressure for this press is 3625psi. (25mPa).
If this maximum pressure is reached, also the
maximum capacity of the press is reached.
Pressure Regulation Valve
The pressure regulation valve is located in the top cover of the hydraulic unit. With this valve the
maximum pressure, referring to the maximum press capacity, can be changed. Turning the knob
clockwise will increase the pressure, turning the knob counter clockwise will decrease the
pressure. Adjusting the pressure to meet the material can be very beneficial in completing the
pressing operation while reducing the change to damage the piece part.
Working at reduced pressure when available will also reduce the stress on the press and the
hydraulic system.
CAUTION: NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE SETTING!
25
25
Pressure Adjusting
1. Start the hydraulic unit.
2. Make sure the piston is in rest position (no force applied).
3. Set the table height in the top position.
4. Place the heal blocks on the table.
5. Loosen the lock nut behind the hand knob and turn the knob counter clockwise 1/2 to 1 full
turn to reduce the pressure. Do not overturn and remove the knob!
6. Extend the ram down until it reaches the heal blocks. Hold the lever in the down position and
read the pressure on the pressure gauge.
7. Slowly turn the knob of the regulator in or out as desired to set the desired pressure. NEVER
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE SETTING!
8. When the pressure is set, hold the knob in position and lightly tighten the lock nut to hold the
knob and prevent inadvertent pressure changes.
Air Purge
When starting up for the first time or when maintenance on the hydraulic system has been
performed, the hydraulic system needs to be purged.
1. Make sure there is no work piece on the table.
2. Start the hydraulic unit.
3. If not already fully retracted, using the directional control valve to fully retract the ram.
4. Extend the ram to the fully lowered position.
5. Now fully retract the ram.
6. Repeat this complete cycle at least 6 times to be sure all air is out of the system.
IMPORTANT: Air in the hydraulic system can cause unexpected piston movement
and poor overall press operation.
26
26
Table Adjustment
Lifting the table is performed using the lifting chain attached from the ram to the table.
1. If lifting the table; start with the piston
extended to full stroke. If lowering the table;
start with the piston extended about 1”
(25mm).
2. Loosen the piston head enough to allow the
lift chain clevis to slip between the head and
the ram. Snug to head to the clevis to old it
in position.
3. Place the links of the lifting chains in the
slots of the table lift links. Remove as much
slack form the chains as possible.
4. Raise the piston enough to lift the table to
remove the table support pins.
5. If lowering the table, install the support pins
in the desired holes. If raising the table, raise
the table high enough to expose the holes
below the table and then install the support
pins.
Note: The table always needs to be higher than the hole you want to place the
support pin. It may be necessary to reach the desired table position in more than one step.
6. The support pin is installed correctly when the collar is tight to the table and the table slot
rests fully on the pin.
7. Lower the table until it rests on both support pins.
8. Remove the lifting chain out of the working area.
IMPORTANT: NEVER lift or lower the table with tooling or material or
pressure from the ram on the table. This will damage the machine voiding the
warranty.
27
27
Cylinder Positioning
This press is equipped with a movable cylinder which makes is possible to position the cylinder
correctly aligned with the work piece.
To move the cylinder:
1. Loosen the 2 levers, 1 to 2 turn counter
clockwise.
2. Move the complete cylinder to the left or
right.
3. Tighten the levers again when the cylinder is
in the correct position over the workpiece.
Hand tightening is enough, do not use any
wrench or exaggerated force to tighten the
levers.
28
28
OPERATION
1. Place the work piece on the table so that it is aligned with the piston rod. If this is not
possible, reposition the cylinder to achieve the best alignment.
2. Take care when performing operation on elements that are likely to fly off, break (especially
casting element and hardened elements) or bounce up as a result of the applied force. In
this case, a cover must be installed around the work piece or the operator should stand at a
safe distance.
3. After correct placement of the work piece, pressing force can be applied using the directional
valve or the hand pump as described in the previous section.
Note: Upwards movement of the piston is only allowed for adjustment of the table,
or returning the piston to its start position. Any other use of the return stroke (e.g. stretching) can
result in broken parts and de-function of the press.
When pressing operations are finished:
4. Return the piston back to its upper position.
5. Position the cylinder back it the center of the machine.
6. Turn of the hydraulic unit.
7. Clean up the machine and working area.
CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
WARNING: Failure to center the piece part on the blocks and the ram to
the piece part may cause serious injury.
Never compress springs or objects that when compressed, could shatter, or explode
out of the press causing serious injury.
29
29
UNDERSTANDING SPRINGBACK
Springback, also known as elastic recovery, is the result of the metal wanting to return to its
original shape after undergoing compression and stretch. After the bending leaf is removed from
the metal and the load is released, the piece part relaxes, forcing the bent portion of the metal to
return slightly to its original shape. The key to obtaining the correct bend angle is to over bend
the metal a little and allow it to spring back to the desired angle. All metals exhibit a certain
amount of spring back.
MATERIAL SELECTION
When selecting materials keep these instructions in mind:
Material must be clean and dry. (without oil)
Material should have a smooth surface so it processes easily.
Dimensional properties of material must be consistent and not exceed the machine capacity
values.
Chemical structure of material must be consistent.
Buy certificated steel from the same vendor when possible.
CAUTION: It must be determined by the customer that materials being
processed through the machine are NOT potentially hazardous to operator or
personnel working nearby.

31
31
Yearly Maintenance
Replace the hydraulic oil of the unit.
Changing the Hydraulic Oil
The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and also must lubricate the
running parts of the pump.
Replace the hydraulic oil at least once a year.
1. A drain plug is located at the bottom of the oil tank. Place a suitable container under the
drain plug and remove the plug and allow the oil to drain into the container.
2. If the inside of the tank is not clean, remove the top cover of the tank and clean the tank
inside.
3. Check the drained oil. If there are metal particles visible, or if the oil has a grey color. This
can indicate worn out parts in the cylinder or the hydraulic unit.
4. Take care to prevent dirt and water getting inside the oil tank. Replace the drain plug and if
removed the cover.
5. Fill with hydraulic oil #68 SHELL BRAND or an equivalent with similar specifications.
6. Replace the oil fill cap.
