 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Non authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
 Keep the press clean for best and safest performance.
 Locate the press in a suitable working area for its function, keep area clean, tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure there is

adequate lighting.

 Ensure the workpiece is correctly secured before operating the press.
 WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the press.
 Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, loose jewellery and contain long hair.
 Keep hands and body clear of the work table when operating the press.
 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip steel toe-capped shoes/boots.
 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
 DO NOT operate the press if any parts are missing as this may cause failure and/or possible personal injury.
 DO NOT use to compress springs or any other item that could disengage and cause a potential hazard.
 DO NOT stand directly in front of the loaded press and never leave a loaded press unattended.
 DO NOT use the press for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
 DO NOT make any modifications to the press.
 DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve.
 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press.
 DO NOT apply off-centre loads.
 DO NOT allow the workpiece or the press plates to fall from the work table.
 DO NOT get the press wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
 DO NOT operate the press when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
 When not in use, release pressure from the hydraulic unit and clean the press. Stand or store the press plates in a safe location.
WARNING! Always position the press against a wall. If the press is situated in the open workshop, it is essential that a guard be

placed at the rear of the unit. This will prevent injury to bystanders in the event of the workpiece ejecting suddenly.
 WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be applied by the operator.

DANGER! The press is heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top crossbeam, or
lift direct with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam. If a forklift is not available we suggest a minimum of two people are
required to lift and move the press.

4. INSTALLATION & OPERATING

WARNING! Before use, ensure that you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.

4.1 INSTALLATION

4.1.1 Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account clearance for workpieces.
 DANGER! The press is heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top crossbeam,
or lift direct with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam, or ensure a minimum of two people lift the press.

4.2 PURGE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

4.2.1 Before operating the press, the hydraulic system (fig.1.6) may require purging in order to eliminate any air that may have built up during
transit.

4.2.2 Open the control valve (fig.2) by turning anti-clockwise and pump the handle (fig.1.7) 20 times.

4.2.3 Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating this procedure may resolve the problem.

 DANGER! The press is purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic unit can develop. For safety reasons, always
ensure the workpiece is secured on the work table to ensure loads that flex will not suddenly “give” causing danger to operator or
damage to component. Ensure you have read and understood Section 1 safety instructions.

4.3 SETTING THE WORK TABLE HEIGHT

4.3.1 To set the work table (fig.1.2) at the desired height it is advisable to obtain assistance. Remove the press plates (fig.1.5) from the work
