EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Read these
safety instructions carefully in addition
to the instructions for assembly,
use, operation and maintenance.
Keep them in a safe place for later
consultation.
• This press has been designed for general
bending, toughening, axis and bearing
extraction work etc. Never use it for
applications that should not be performed
by a press. Always use the appropriate tool
for each specific task.
• Handle the press correctly and ensure
that all parts and components are in good
condition and that no parts are missing prior
to its use.
• The press should only be used by authorized
persons, having read carefully and
understood the contents of this manual and
the assembly instructions.
• Do not modify the press in any way.
• Non-compliance with these instructions may
result in injury or damage to the user, the
press or the piece being manipulated.
• The manufacturer accepts no responsibility
for the improper use of the press or the
component handled.
• Noise level less than 70 dB(A) for pneumatic
presses.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never exceed the rated capacity of the press.
• Keep unauthorised persons, particularly
children, away from the work area.
• 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 work piece
ejecting suddenly.
• The work tables, and presses in general,
are heavy elements which must be handled
with care. In presses which are not equipped
with a winch, the user must request the
help of other people to position the table
in its work position and / or whenever the
working height needs to be altered.
• Do not introduce hands or any other part of
the body in the work area.
• Exposed personnel in the work zone are
obligated to protect their feet, face and
hands. Steel or other materials may splinter
or fall due to the strong pressure put on
them by the press.
• Never wear baggy clothes, ties, watches,
rings, chains, etc. when using the press.
Long hair should be tied up.
• As a safety measure, the models equipped
with an independent pump and cylinder
have an overload valve, number 3, set at its
maximum working pressure at the factory.
This valve should not be tampered with
under any circumstances.
• As cylinders develop greater capacity than
punches or V-blocks , those Punches and V
Blocks should never exceed the maximum
load marked on them.
ASSEMBLY
• The press is delivered palletized or
packaged. If using either a transpallet or a
crane to move the structure, ensure that the
press is balanced to prevent tipping.
• Unpackage and assembly as shown in page
4.
• Ensure that the work area is sufficiently lit.
• We recommend leaving at least enough
space around the press so that the different
storage and maintenance compartments
may be completely opened to accommodate
material pieces of greatest size.
• The press is stable enough to work without
being anchored, but if located in an area of
movement (cranes, wheelbarrows, etc.) it is
advisable to anchor it.
• Only for models with pneumatic pump: Use
a hose and fittings that are 12 mm (1/2") in
diameter at minimum from the compressed
air source to the press. Couple the hose to
the ¼ male gas connection, located on the
back of the press. An acceptable supply
pressure oscillates between 6 and 8 BAR
(100 psi to 145 psi).
• Always place the 2 axles in a position
appropriate for the operation to be
performed.
