SPECIFICATIONS

SAFETY

WARNING: This product contains Nickel, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

WARNING: This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your press be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Employer is responsible to perform a hazard/PPE assessment before work activity.

Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices.

• Carefully read all safety messages in these instructions and on your press safety signs. Keep safety labels in good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
• This machine is intended to be operated by one person. This person should be conscious of the press ram movement not only for themselves but also for persons in the immediate area of the machine.
• Under no circumstances increase the leverage ratio of the press by using a longer handle or by placing a pipe over the handle. Never hammer on top of the ram.

HANDLE POSITION

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 4) can be turned to raise or lower the ram to and from the workpiece without exerting force on the workpiece.
• Handle: The handle (item 14) 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.
