by the operator and maintenance personnel.

WARNING!!!!
Operator must never place hands in the area of the ram during pressing operations.

Do not use this press for pulling.

A machine not subject to maintenance and periodic structural inspection is a danger for
the operator and the persons working near by.

It is strictly forbidden to tamper with, modify or elaborate parts of the machine that alter
its regular operation.

During the phases of maintenance requiring guards to be removed, machine must be

SAFEGUARDING THE POINT OF OPERATION

ANSI B11.2 – Hydraulic Power Presses

Safety Requirements for Construction, Care and Use

It is important that Dake press users have a clear understanding of their responsibility involving
the care and use of their Dake hydraulic press, including point-of-operation safe guards. Dake
strongly recommends that Dake press users obtain a copy of the current American National
Standard Institute (ANSI) B11.2 standard, for a more complete understanding of their
responsibilities.

ANSI B11.2 states the following, relative to point of operation safeguarding:

“Normally, only the employer (press user) can determine the requirements of the press
productions system components, including the dies and methods for feeding. There fore, the
employer is ultimately responsible to designate and provide the point-of-operation safeguarding
system”.

The standard also discusses additional responsibilities of the employer. Some of the key
responsibilities are:

• The employer is responsible for the safety, use and care of the hydraulic power press

production system.

• The employer is responsible to consider the sources of hazards for all tasks to be

implemented on the hydraulic power press production system.

• The employer is required to eliminate or control identified hazards in the scope of their

work activity.

• The employer is responsible for the training of personnel, caring for, inspecting,

maintaining and operating hydraulic press production systems to ensure their
competence.

• The employer is responsible to provide and ensure that point-of-operation safeguarding is

used, checked, maintained and where applicable, adjusted on ever production operation
performed on a press production system.

A complete and current copy of the ANSI B11.2 standard can be obtained by contacting the
following:

DEFINITIONS

In this manual “right side”, “left side”, forwards, backwards, top and bottom refer to the operator
situated in front of the press with the power unit to there right.

Press Identification

The press is fitted with a rating plate fixed in a visible manner on the front as shown in Fig. 1
item 1 on next page. The Dake part number and serial number on the front name plate shown in
Fig. 1 item 2.

Unpacking

The machine has shrink wrap on it and any accessories, spare part may be
Packed in cardboard boxes and positioned on top of the work table.

To remove the packing, cut the plastic wrap, taking care not to damage the
Machine or any part of it. Remove the accessories from the top of the work
table, check the contents correspond to the order and to the accompanying
documentation. Remove the lag bolts that hold the press to the skid.

Disposing of the packaging
Fig. 3

The packing will have to be disposed of be the purchaser in compliance with the current
regulations.

Claims shall not be accepted in the event of the goods not being in conformity with order or
with the accompanying documents if they are not notified within five days of the date of
receiving the goods.

Handling and transport and positioning

Force 40 70 100 150 Ton

For handling the machine it is necessary to use special lifting equipment whose maximum lifting
capacity must be no lower than the total weight of the press which can be found on page 2 of this
manual.

Loading and unloading the machine

Use lifting straps are to be used to position as shown below in Fig 4.

WARNING!!!
Be sure the maximum capacity of each strap is greater than the total weight of the press.

Do not make sudden movements when transporting the machine.

The manufacturer is not responsible for damage to the machine while loading or unloading the
press.

Positioning the press

Simple precautions are necessary for correctly positioning the press always consider the safety
aspect not only in relation to the work carried out with the press, but also to the dangers
originated by the other machines in the workplace.

Do not position on unstable or unleveled floor.

Below in fig. 4 is the allowable distance from the wall, other machines or other objects.

This machine is dual voltage 220 3 phase / 440 3 phase. The amp rating on these machines are

6.8 amps on 220 volt 3 phase and 3.4 amp on 220 volt 3 phase.

WARNING!!!
Only a certified electrician that follows local and state laws is authorized to perform any
type of electrical connection on this machine. The electrical power supply voltage must be
made in compliance with local and state laws.

For proper operation it is necessary to ensure constant voltage and it must not exceed or be lower
than 5% of the rated value.

Before making any electrical connection confirm voltage rating of the machine. There is a black
plastic box mounted on top of the reservoir.

WARNING!!!
Be sure there is no power to the machine before checking the following connections. It may
be necessary to lock out the machine for proper power disconnection.

Remove the two mounting screws that hold this box in place. Under this box you will see one of
the following possibilities in fig. 5. After confirming or changing this to the correct voltage
mount the cover with the two screws. Now, open the electrical panel on the transformer be sure it
is set for the correct output voltage.

WARNING!!!
Any damage caused by a faulty electrical connection is not covered by warranty.

Filling the pumping unit

To fill the pumping unit, use exclusively the oils indicated in the table on the next page or
equivalent. The environmental conditions must be considered before purchasing oil. To transfer
the oil from the container to the tank use an external filter as shown in Fig. 6 in order to prevent
the introduction of foreign material or liquids at the time of filling.

The amount of oil required for each model is described in the chart below.

40 Ton 10.5 Gallons
70 ton 10.5 Gallons
100 Ton 15.5 Gallons
150 Ton 22.5 Gallons

Pump rotation

After making the electrical connections to the press it is necessary to make a visual check on the
direction of rotation of the electric motor.

Before checking the direction of rotation of the pump, fill the reservoir with oil see Fig. 6

1. Unscrew the inspection cap.

2. Identify a reference point on the drive shaft.

3. Power up the motor for Max. 1-2 seconds.

4. Check that the rotation of the shaft coincides with that of the arrow shown on the top of

the unit see Fig 7.

5. Screw down inspection cap.

If the motor rotates in the wrong direction:
See your electrician.
