SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from

Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an unintended purpose.
2. The maximum load is 20 tons. Do not exceed this rated capacity. Never
apply excessive force to a workpiece and always use the pressure gauge to
accurately determine the applied load.
3. Inspect the press before each use. Do not use if any component is bent,
broken, cracked, leaking or showing other damage. Do not use the press after

may slip off the heel blocks or bed frame.
