OPERATION
1. Place the workpiece on the bed. It must be completely stable and
supported by packing or shims where required. Pressing plates (bed blocks)
are supplied, which locate on the bed. Place the workpiece on these to
give it stability.
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. Close the release valve by turning
clockwise until tightly closed.
3. Select either SLOW SPEED or FAST
SPEED using the knob on the side
of the pump cover.
•
Fast speed allows faster
movement but greater effort
will be required.
4. Pump the handle or foot pedal to
bring the ram very lightly into
contact with the workpiece.
5. Manoeuvre the workpiece or slide the ram to one side so that the desired
point of contact is directly beneath the centre of the ram.
6. When satisfied that the workpiece
is correctly aligned and is
completely stable in that position,
slide the protective screen (if
fitted) into position before starting
any pressing.
•
The latches will support the
screen in a selection of
positions.
CAUTION: DO NOT POINT LOAD SUCH ACCESSORIES AS THEY ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO TAKE THE FULL FORCE OF THE RAM IN ONE SPOT. ENSURE
THEY ARE ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED.
