Before unpacking the equipment check for:

1- Oil leaks, signs of corrosion.
2- Damage to the hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic line.
3- Damages in the frame and the accessories.
4- Damages or lack of screws and connections.
5- Damaged or incorrectly assembled accessories.

If you observe any fault or damage in the equipment, avoid its use and store it in a safety place until be repaired by an authorized service dealer.

Never use hydraulic equipment that is damaged or suspected to be in poor condition.

The operators have to familiarize themselves with the equipment before using the machine. Read and observe exactly the instructions and the
recommendations included in packaging. Any inadequate use of the equipment not observed in the present manual or the omission of this one, ma y
cause serious personal and material damages, which LUKAS will not be responsible in any case.

Do not loose the instruction manual.

Do not work with the equipment near open flame, explosives, heat sources or any other source that may produce fire or cause damages to the
equipment. The equipment must not be exposed to temperatures higher than 60ºC when in use or when stored.

When you have located a good place for the press, assure that it is in solid and flat ground. The entire base of the press must be supported. If there is
any doubt about the stability, it is recommended distributing the weight (weight of press, accessories and max. additional weight of the components
which should be pressed) over a larger area, e. g. by placing sufficient large and stable steel-plates under the base of the press.
Store the press with the piston fully retracted. In order to have the press correctly storage, we recommended protecting the cylinder with a plastic film or
locating the press in a clean place, so neither the press nor their components could be damaged

If purchasing a cylinder or pump for use in the press, which is not an original spare part, ensure that you are using the proper combination of pump,
cylinder and press frame before assembling the unit. I n this case , we re commend y ou to ask for profe ssion al advice from LU KAS direct.

3. ESSENTIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Due to the functional reasons, "dangerous area" is considered to be the space between the columns, the table and the hydraulic cylinder piston.
Due to the material pressed, "dangerous area" is supposed to be the surrounding area to the machine in case of metal parts being ejected

The speed of the hydraulic cylinder during its extension is less than 30 mm/second. Therefore then machine should be considered by the application of
ANNEX V of the Declaration of CE Conformity.
Operators standing in the da nger ou s area around the ma chin e shou ld pro tec t the ir fe et, f ace s and ha nds f rom me ta l pie ces be ing ejected during pressing.

There are not risks for the health and safety of the operators by the used materials and components, if they are used corr ect ly. The motor pum p contain s LUKAS
hydraulic oil (type ISO: HV46).

during pressing.

Feet protection Face protection Hands protection

IN ANY CASE, HYDRAULIC OIL IS TOXIC IF IT TAKES CONTACT THE HUMAN BLOOD STREAM, SO NEVER PLACE THE FINGERS
OVER ANY HOLE THAT MAY CAUSE AN INJECTION INTO THE HUMAN BLOOD STREAM WHEN THE PRESS-SYSTEM IS
PRESSURIZED.

 The start and stop operations of the moto r are made with the com mands of IP55 el ectric remote control bo x. The co mmands are supplied with a

24 V. tension.

 The advance and return movements of the cylinders are made by the hand lever located in the pump. This lever actuates over a directional

valve.

 The operator can always interrupt the movement of the cylinder independent of the kind of operation that the equipment makes, because the

operator sometimes must place its hands over the material to be treated. This forces the operator, to know the inherent risks and the operating
of the equipment.

 The starting up of the motor is carried out by the ON/OFF switch located on the electric box of the pump. (ON = 1 / OFF = 0)
 The rest of operating devices are activated manually from the directional valve on the cover of the pump.
 To get cylinder movements, it is necessary to push the green button on the electric remote control box.
 If you stop pressing the green push button, the motor stops and with it the cylinder movements. (The red push button has no function!)
 The machine is equipped with the fuse and a thermo-magnetic switch for its protection.
 The machine is equipped with supporting plates on the columns for a perfect stability. The machine gets operated without fixing onto the floor,

but it is strongly recommended to do it by drilling the plates in the place of your choice.

 The construction of machine has been calculated to bear without any breaking under conditions of foreseen utilization and for the whole life of

the machine.

 The hydraulic components have been designed and calculated in compliance with the ANSI B30.1
 It is operator's responsibility to wear special protective clothes and attachments in both feet and face to prevent an y damage as a result of

accidental fallings and breakings of metal pieces under operation or machine components in touch with.

 Risks due to surfaces, bends and angles:

o Risk due to mobile components in setup stage: The table can be positioned in several fixing points (weight of the table 21,5 Kg).

The EE06018 model is provided with a winch for the displacement of the table. It is operator's responsibility to wear safety shoes in
any case. There are 2 axle pins in equivalent holes of the lowest position to prevent operator's feet from being caught by the table.

o Risk due to mobile components during service: The operator must either move the directional valve lever to "C" position or

stop pressing the green button to fully stop the movement of the piston.

The frame of the machine does not cause to be dangerous in that sense.
