Specific Safety Rules
1. Keep hands away from arbor plates
and press pin during use.
2. Do not move workpiece while compressed.
3. Release load before service or maintenance.
4. Keep area under arbor plates clear. If arbor
plates rest on obstruction (i.e. bolt, debris,
etc.), it creates an uneven press, causing
excess stress and possible breakage.
5. Avoid off-center loads. Do not operate if
workpiece tilts or binds during compression.
6. STOP and release compression if you suspect
imminent structural failure. If safe, inspect
thoroughly and reposition before proceeding.
7. Do not compress springs or other elastic
objects. They could disengage hazardously.
8. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
heavy-duty work gloves, and steel-toe
work boots during set up and/or use.
9. Keep bystanders out of work area.
10. Do not stand directly in front of the
press when loaded. Do not leave the
press unattended when loaded.
11. Do not operate the hydraulic ram
beyond rated capacity.
12. Inspect before every use; do not use
if parts are loose or damaged.
13. Ram service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
14. When servicing a ram, use only identical replacement
parts – refer to attached, product-specific parts list
and diagram. Follow instructions in the
“User - Maintenance Instructions” section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.
