OPERATION MANUAL
4. OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Due to the weight of the bed, we recommend that you get assistance from
another person when adjusting the bed height.
1. Position the bed at the desired height, so that it will be as close as possible to the ram when
the workpiece is mounted on it.
2. Raise one side of the bed and insert a supporting pin into the next locating hole.
3. Repeat at the other end to level the bed.
4. Repeat until the bed is at the desired height, with the supporting pins fully ‘home’.
5. Replace the safety clips on both end of the supporting pins.
The bed height should only be raised or lowered one hole at a time,
working alternately from one side and then the other, failure to work in this way may cause the
bed to fall and cause injury to the operator

4.2 POSITIONING THE RAM
The press is designed with a quick action
method when moving the ram. It can be
quickly positioned in either direction as re-
quired by sliding the ram baseplate along the
cross-beam using the handle.
The head is secured when pressure is applied
to the ram.
Always position the ram
directly above the workpiece.
NOTE:
Always make sure you are pressing with the whole ram.
Center the ram over the work, do not press with only the
edge of the nose piece. This can cause injury by ejecting
the part, or damage to the ram.
