OPERATION
1. Place the work piece on the table so that it is aligned with the piston rod. If this is not
possible, reposition the cylinder to achieve the best alignment.
2. Take care when performing operation on elements that are likely to fly off, break (especially
casting element and hardened elements) or bounce up as a result of the applied force. In
this case, a cover must be installed around the work piece or the operator should stand at a
safe distance.
3. After correct placement of the work piece, pressing force can be applied using the directional
valve or the hand pump as described in the previous section.
Note: Upwards movement of the piston is only allowed for adjustment of the table,
or returning the piston to its start position. Any other use of the return stroke (e.g. stretching) can
result in broken parts and de-function of the press.
When pressing operations are finished:
4. Return the piston back to its upper position.
5. Position the cylinder back it the center of the machine.
6. Turn of the hydraulic unit.
7. Clean up the machine and working area.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
WARNING:
Failure to center the piece part on the blocks and the ram to
the piece part may cause serious injury.
Never compress springs or objects that when compressed, could shatter, or explode
out of the press causing serious injury.
