SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Before beginning, read this Operator’s Manual and complete proper occupational safety and
health training.
2. The machine must be used only with HPP 700/1.5 Hydraulic Power Pack.
3.
The machine, hydraulic power pack, cables, and hoses must be used only in applications specified
in this Operator’s Manual.
4. The machine and hydraulic power pack must be complete and all their parts must be genuine and
entirely operational.
5.
The electrical supply specifications must conform to those specified on the rating plate of the
hydraulic power pack.
6. The hydraulic power pack must be plugged into a properly grounded (earthed) socket-outlet. The
electrical supply must be protected with a C25 A fuse for 230 V or a C32 A fuse for 115 V.
7. Do not cover the air vents of the hydraulic power pack.
8. Never crush or pull cables and hoses as this may damage them and result in serious injury.
9. Arrange hoses so that there are no tripping hazards. Wrap the hoses around the power pack if
possible.
10. The bending radius of the high-pressure hose must never be less than 80 mm (3.2’’). If the hose is
bent to a smaller radius or has any signs of wear or damage, replace the hose immediately.
11. Untrained bystanders must not be present in the vicinity of the machine and hydraulic power pack.
12. Before beginning, check the condition of the machine, hydraulic power pack, and electrical supply,
including cables and hoses, connectors, sockets, plugs, punch, and die. Make sure the high-
pressure hydraulic hose is securely attached to the machine and power pack.
13. Keep the machine, hydraulic power pack, cables, and hoses dry. Exposure to direct sunlight, rain,
snow, or frost is prohibited.
14. Keep the work area well lit, clean, and free of obstacles.
15.
Never use the machine in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases, or in explosive environments.
16.
Use only punches and dies specified in this Operator’s Manual.
17. Mount punches and dies securely. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the work area
before powering the hydraulic power pack.
18. Before every use, inspect the machine and hydraulic power pack to ensure they are not damaged.
Check whether any part is cracked or improperly fitted. Make sure to maintain proper conditions
that may affect the operation of the machine and hydraulic power pack.
19. Always use a safety helmet with shield, hearing protection, protective footwear, gloves, and
protective clothing during operation. Do not wear loose clothing.
20. Do not touch the punch or put hands into its work area.
21. Maintain the machine with care. Cover steel parts with a thin grease layer to protect them against
rust when not in use for any extended period.
22. Perform maintenance and replacement of the punch, die, and restrainer only with the power ON/
OFF switch set to position ‘0’.
23. Perform repairs only in a service center appointed by the seller.
24. If the machine falls on a hard surface, from height, is wet, or has any other damage that could
affect the technical state of the machine, stop the operation and immediately send the machine to
the service center for inspection and repair.
25. Never leave the machine or the hydraulic power pack unattended during operation.
26. Remove the machine and power pack from the worksite and store in an isolated and dry location
when not in use.
