RETURN & REFUND POLICY

Thank you for purchasing from Dake! If you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, we are here to
help.

Returns

All Dake manufactured / distributed machines, parts and couplings include a 30-day return option. These
policies are valid from the date of final shipment to the end user.

To be eligible for a return, the item must be unused and in the same condition as received.

All requested warranty claims must be communicated to the distributor or representative responsible for
the sale. Once communication has been initiated, Dake Customer Service must be contacted for

Phone: [phone]
Email: [e-mail]

Once the return request has been approved by Customer Service, a representative will supply a Return
Material Authorization (RMA) number. The returned item must have the provided RMA number clearly
marked on the outside packaging. Any item received without an RMA number clearly visible on the

Once the item has been received and inspected for damages, a representative will notify the requestor
referencing the provided RMA number.

If the return is approved, a refund will be issued to the original method of payment, less a 20% restocking
fee. The restocking fee may be waived if an order is placed at the time of return with like-value
merchandise.

Any item that is returned after the initial 30 days or has excessive/obvious use will not be considered for
a full refund.

HANDLE POSITION

Dake Corporation

724 Robbins Road

Grand Haven, MI 49417

www.dakecorp.com

CAUTION: NEVER PULL THE PRESS HANDLE PAST THE HORIZONTAL POSITION!
To avoid personal injury and damaging the press only pull until the handle is horizontal, then
return the handle back up as far as it allows before bringing the handle back down. This ensures
that the pawl fully engages with the gear teeth to prevent tooth damage and gear slippage that
can cause harm to the machine and worker. Examples above show the ideal minimum and
maximum handle positions.

OPERATION

Handwheel: The handwheel (item 15) can be turned to raise or lower the ram to and from the

workpiece without exerting force on the workpiece.

Handle: The handle (item 23) can be used to lower the ram to exert force onto the workpiece.
See safety instructions for more information on handle position.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

• Keep all working parts of the press well-oiled for easier operation.

• Keep a light film of oil over the entire surface of the ram to prevent rust.
