SAFETY RULES
Completely read and understand this
owner’s manual before assembly or tool
operation. Read and understand the warnings shown on the
machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of
these warnings may cause serious injury or death.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some dust created by
using power tools contain chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Some Examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment. Always wear an OSHA/NIOSH approved,
properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.
Always follow proper operating
procedures as defined in this manual
even if you are familiar with the use of this or similar tools.
Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a
second can result in severe personal injury.

ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION
Lifting and setting up your machine
Make certain that slings, cables, chains,
forklifts or other load suspending gear or
machines used to move this unit are properly rated to
handle the weight. The machine is extremely heavy.
The machine must be properly secured
and anchored before use. Make sure that
it is supported equally on all four corners. Failure to comply
may result in the machine twisting and causing binds in the
working table.
1. Unwrap the hydraulic station from packaging. The hose
should already be attached to the hydraulic cylinder. If not,
reattach it.
2. Insert the handle into either of receivers as shown below.
This can be changed at any time, since the bar is not
secured.
Machine dimensions
The following figure shows the approximate dimensions of the
hydraulic press and its parts. When determining a final location
for your machine, ensure there is enough clearance for both
the operator and for technicians who will service the machine.
Also,consider any larger work pieces that would extend beyond
the machine’s table and require extra space.

compact, solid structure and must not be
subject to crumbling or other structural damage potential.
Do not use the press with no load or allow
the piston to extend beyond its
operational travel limit.
If the temperature exceeds the maximum
operating temperature (see
“SPECIFICATIONS”) wait until cool.
When setting up the piece to be pressed,
ensure that it is centered with respect to
the piston.
1. Close the release valve by rotating it clockwise, as shown in
the following figure.
Release Valve
NOTE: The machine is adjusted to produce proper pressure at
the factory.
2. Place the handle in the appropriate pump cylinder.
3. Pump the hydraulic station, using the handle shown above.
4. Check the pressure using the gauge on top of the unit,
shown below.
5. To release pressure, loosen the release valve. This will also
return the plunger to its initial position.
Adjusting the table height
1. Unload the table of all extra items.
2. Lift the table support beam on one side. We recommend
asking for assistance in holding the beam, although it is
possible to do so only by oneself.
