THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
The use of automotive service and maintenanace devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by
the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and operation of the
equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are
dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level
surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this press.
• Prior to use make sure the press is securely anchored to a concrete floor, installed and operated in accordance with OSHA, state and local safety
standards.
• Visual inspection of the press should be made before use, checking for signs of cracked welds, bent bed pins, loose or missing bolts, leaks, or any
other structural damage. Corrections must be made before using the press.
• No alterations shall be made to this press.
• Operators and observers shall wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA Standards.
• Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter, or be ejected from the press at a dangerous rate of speed. Due to a variety of press applications, it is the
press owner's responsibility to provide adequate guards, eye protection and protective clothing to the press operator.
• Always use a bearing shield when pressing bearings.
• Keep hands, arms, feet, and legs out of work area. Accidental slippage can result in personal injury.
• Remove all loads from movable bolster before adjusting bolster height. Beware of falling bolster.
• Press only on loads supported by movable bolster and press plates. Do not support loads on floor or press frame legs.
• When using any accessories such as press or arbor plates, be certain they are centered on the movable bolster and in full contact with both sides of
the bolster.
• Use caution when positioning work to be pressed to ensure the item to be pressed cannot be ejected at a dangerous rate of speed.
• Avoid off-center loads. Do not use spacers or extenders between the press ram plunger and the item being pressed. If there is not enough ram
stroke, adjust the height of the movable bolster.
• Before applying load, be certain all movable bolster supporting pins are fully engaged. Make sure movable bolster lift cables (if equipped) are slack
before pressing on bolster.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity. When attachments and adapters are used, the rated capacity of the system shall be no greater than the rated
capacity of the lowest-rated component or combination of components that make up the system.
• Always use an accurate force gauge to measure pressing force.
• Do not tamper with the press load-limiting device settings.
• Do not go near leaks. High pressure hydraulic fluid can puncture skin and cause serious injury, gangrene, or death. Do not use finger or skin to check
for leaks. If injured, seek emergency medical help as immediate surgery is required to remove the fluid.
• Release hydraulic pressure before loosening any fittings.
• This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Failure to understand and heed these markings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
