OPERATION MANUAL
Before operating the press read this manual, the instructions and safety warnings. The safety pre-
cautions are to help the operator to avoid personal injury or machine damage when operating the
machine. Operators should be trained in the use of high pressure hydraulic machines.
Metalmaster cannot be responsible for any injury or damage to the machine resulting from un-
safe product maintenance or incorrect operation.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment damage and
personal injury.
2.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING
DO NOT
exceed the equipment ratings. Never attempt to press more than the capacity of the
cylinder. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal injury.
DO NOT
set the relief valve to a higher pressure than the maximum rated pressure of the pump.
Higher settings may result in equipment damage or personal injury.
DO NOT
use the machine with faulty parts or damaged hydraulic hoses. Notify the supervisor
and wait for the machine to be repaired. Immediately replace worn or damaged parts
WARNING:
be sure the setup is stable before pressing the workpiece. The workpiece should be
placed on a flat surface that can support the load. Do not weld or otherwise modify the press.
Avoid pressing loads that are not directly centered on the cylinder ram. Off-center loads produce
considerable strain on cylinders and ram and could cause the load to slip or fall, potentially caus-
ing a dangerous hazard. Distribute the load evenly across the entire surface.
To avoid personal injury keep hands and arms away from cylinder and workpiece during opera-
tion.
