OPERATION
1. Place the workpiece on the bed.
• It must be completely stable. you must use packing or shims where required.
‘Vee’ blocks and a supporting plate are supplied, which locate on the bed.
Place the workpiece on a combination of these to give it stability.
DO NOT ‘point load’ these accessories as they are not designed to take the full
force of the ram in one spot. Ensure they are adequately supported.
NOTE:
Any packing pieces or shims used MUST be capable of
withstanding the pressure that will be brought to bear, and MUST
be of sufficient size with sufficient surface area, so as to avoid the
possibility of slipping or springing out. Mating surfaces MUST be
horizontal so that the force being exerted will NOT be at an angle.
2. Turn the Handwheel B, clockwise
to move the ram quickly, and
Handwheel A, clockwise to lower
the ram.
3. Pump the handle to bring the ram
very lightly
into contact with the
workpiece.
4. Manoeuvre the workpiece or slide
the ram so that the desired point
of contact is
directly beneath the
centre of the ram
.
5. When satisfied that the workpiece
is correctly lined up and is
completely stable in that position,
ensure the handwheel B, is turned
ANTICLOCKWISE, and slowly pump the handle so that the ram begins to
exert pressure on the workpiece.
Continue to pump the handle whilst standing to the side. Do NOT stand
directly in front of the work, and constantly monitor the process, ensuring
the ram and work remain completely in line, and there is no risk of slipping.
6. When the process is complete, turn the handwheel A, anticlockwise to
release ram pressure.
WARNING:
NEVER use extensions to the ram pumping handle
