HANDLE POSITION
CAUTION: NEVER PULL THE PRESS HANDLE PAST THE HORIZONTAL POSITION!
To avoid personal injury and damaging the press only pull until the handle is horizontal, then
return the handle back up as far as it allows before bringing the handle back down. This ensures
that the pawl fully engages with the gear teeth to prevent tooth damage and gear slippage that
can cause harm to the machine and worker. Examples above show the ideal minimum and
maximum handle positions.
OPERATION
Handwheel:
The handwheel (item 15) can be turned to raise or lower the ram to and from the
workpiece without exerting force on the workpiece.
Handle:
The handle (item 23) can be used to lower the ram to exert force onto the workpiece.
See safety instructions for more information on handle position.
MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
•
Keep all working parts of the press well-oiled for easier operation.
•
Keep a light film of oil over the entire surface of the ram to prevent rust.
