It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure all personnel read this manual prior to using this shop press. It is also the responsibility of the shop press
owner to keep this manual intact and in a convenient location for all to see and read. If the manual or product labels are lost or not legible, contact Mac Tools

This product must only be used for the removal and installation of bearings on shafts, and the removal and straightening of components. Do not use this
product for any other purpose. The use of automotive service and maintenance devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical
means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and
operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards
are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces,
and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this press
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards (users and bystanders)
• Visual inspection of the shop press should be made before use, checking for signs of cracked welds, bent bed pins, loose or missing bolts, leaks, or any other
structural damage. Corrections must be made before using the press
• Do not use or modify this product for any other purpose than that for which it was designed without consulting the manufacturer’s authorized representative
• Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter, or be ejected from the press at a dangerous rate of speed. Because there are a variety of press applications, it
is the responsibility of the press owner to provide adequate guards, eye protection and protective clothing to the press operator
• Do not go near leaks. High pressure hydraulic fluid can puncture skin and cause serious injury, gangrene, or death. If injured, seek emergency medical help
as immediate surgery is required to remove the fluid
• Prior to use make sure the press is securely anchored to a concrete floor
• Keep hands, arms, feet, and legs out of work area. Accidental slippage can result in personal injury
• Always use an accurate force gauge to measure pressing force
• Do not exceed the rated capacity or tamper with the pressure/force settings. When attachments and adapters are used the rated capacity of the system shall
be no greater than the rated capacity of the lowest rated component or combination of components that make up the system
• Avoid off-center loads. Offset loads can damage ram and may cause load to eject at a dangerous rate of speed. Do not use any spacer or extender between
the press ram plunger and the item being pressed. If there is not enough ram stroke, adjust the height of the movable bolster
• Remove all loads from movable bolster before attempting to adjust bolster height. Beware of possible falling bolster
• Press only on loads supported by movable bolster and press plates included. Do not support loads on floor or press frame legs
• When using any accessories such as press plates or arbor plates, be certain they are centered on the movable bolster and in full contact with both sides of
the bolster
• Before applying load, be certain all movable bolster supporting pins are fully engaged. Verify lift cables (if equipped) are slack before pressing on the bolster
• Always use a bearing shield when pressing bearings
• Use caution when positioning work to be pressed to ensure the item to be pressed cannot be ejected at a dangerous rate of speed
• Release hydraulic pressure before loosening any fittings
• Maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels
• This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
