SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - CONTINUED
WARNING: To help prevent personal injury,
GENERAL
•
ALWAYS read and carefully follow the operating instructions and safety precautions before assembling
or using this press. Most problems with new equipment are caused by incorrect operation or assembly.
•
Read and carefully follow the operating instructions and safety precautions for the pump and cylinder
used with this press.
•
Presses can exert extremely high forces at moderate hydraulic pump pressures. If you have any
questions concerning how much force is exerted at a given pressure, contact your nearest Power
Team facility (see listing at the end of this document).
SET-UP
•
The owner/operator of this press must see that it is installed and operated according to federal
(OSHA), state, local European (EU), and other safety standards where applicable.
•
Install the press in an isolated area, or shield the press to minimize danger to others. Hydraulic
pressure can cause materials to break, possibly resulting in personal injury due to flying objects,
falling objects, shifting loads and other hazards.
•
This press is designed for shop maintenance applications. Guards, enclosures, monitors, interlocks,
controls, restraints, and other devices must be used by the owner/operator when this press is used for
specific applications with hazards best known by the owner/operator. For information regarding other
applications, contact your nearest Power Team facility (see listing at the end of this document).
•
Additions of specific safety equipment, such as permanent enclosures, guards or shields, light
curtains, etc., to the press must be on separate, free-standing structures, or clamped to the press
frame without cutting, drilling, welding or otherwise modifying the press structure or affecting it's
function. Such modifications can cause equipment damage and/or personal injury.
•
Modifications to the structure and function of this press are not permitted, voids the warranty, may
cause personal injury, and voids the Declaration of Incorporation.
•
Any press accessories, fixtures, plates, or special equipment used with the press must have a
maximum tonnage rating equal to or higher than the maximum tonnage rating of the press, or
breakage and possible injury can occur.
•
The owner/operator of the press must ensure that all safety-related decals are installed, maintained,
and replaced if they become hard to read.
OPERATION
•
The press operator and anyone within sight of the press must wear protective eyewear that meets the
requirements of OSHA, ANSI Z87.1-1968, or applicable EU standards.
•
It is the owner/operator's responsibility to use appropriate guarding to contain any pieces that might
break or fly apart when applying force. For added protection, always wrap the workpiece in a protective
blanket before applying force. Contact your nearest Power Team facility (see listing at the end of this
document) for more information about protective blankets.
•
Keep hands out of the work area during a pressing operation.
•
Workpieces must be well supported and aligned so that cylinder/ram force is straight, and parts being
pressed cannot slip out or break.
•
Use caution when loading and unloading the press.
