SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with its operation and use. Exercising respect and caution
will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored,
personal injury to the operator or damage to property may result.
• BEFORE use, secure the press to a suitable work bench.
• ALWAYS keep fingers clear of moving parts.
• ALWAYS wear safety goggles, manufactured to the latest European Safety Standards. Everyday glasses do not
have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
• ALWAYS keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
• ALWAYS ensure that adequate lighting is available. A minimum intensity of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure
the lighting is positioned where you will not be working in your own shadow.
• ALWAYS concentrate on the job at hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be aware that accidents are
caused by carelessness due to familiarity.
• ALWAYS wear proper apparel. Loose clothing or jewellery may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
• NEVER operate the press when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
• NEVER force the press; it will do a better and safer job at the rate for which it was designed. Do not attempt to
apply more leverage by extending the length of the handle.
