SAFEGUARDING THE POINT OF OPERATION
ANSI B11.2 –Hydraulic Power Presses
Safety Requirements for Construction, Care and Use
It is important that Dake press users have a clear understanding of their responsibility
involving the care and use of their Dake hydraulic press, including point-of-operation safe
guards. Dake strongly recommends that Dake press users obtain a copy of the current
American National Standard Institute (ANSI) B11.2 standard, for a more complete
understanding of their responsibilities.
ANSI B11.2 states the following, relative to point of operation safeguarding:
“Normally, only the employer (press user) can determine the requirements of the press
productions system components, including the dies and methods for feeding. There fore, the
employer is ultimately responsible to designate and provide the point-of-operation
safeguarding system”.
The standard also discusses additional responsibilities of the employer. Some of the key
responsibilities are:
The employer is responsible for the safety, use and care of the hydraulic power press
production system.
The employer is responsible to consider the sources of hazards for all tasks to be
implemented on the hydraulic power press production system.
The employer is required to eliminate or control identified hazards in the scope of their work
activity.
The employer is responsible for the training of personnel, caring for, inspecting, maintaining
and operating hydraulic press production systems to ensure their competence.
The employer is responsible to provide and ensure that point-of-operation safeguarding is
used, checked, maintained and where applicable, adjusted on ever production operation
performed on a press production system.
A complete and current copy of the ANSI B11.2 standard can be obtained by contacting

STEP 7:
With press standing upright and all bolts tightened install the worktable. Insert two table pins
in the two lowest holes. Take the worktable and tilt it at a sharp angle and insert it in the
uprights. (NOTE: The gussets welded to the table are at slight angles. The narrowest
dimension of these gussets go down. See drawing) (Step 1) Once worktable is in the
uprights turn it level and lower down and set it on the table pins. (Step 2) Take care when
doing this, a helper would be advised.
Gussets inside table
Step 1

Narrowest dimension
Step 2
STEP 8:
Locate the cylinder and remove the plastic protective cap on the end of the ram. (If
applicable) Carefully screwthe cylinder from the top into the head traverseram plate. Screw
this in as tight as possible while keeping the cylinder’s hydraulic hose fitting facing to the
right or pump side. (Cylinder may not be totally tight while keeping the fitting facing this way,
but it will not effect the presses operation.)
Using Teflon tape install the gauge to the Hose fitting
top of the cylinder facing forward.
When gauge and hose fittings Gauge
are in correct position install the
spanner nut on the bottom of cylinder
and snug up.
STEP 9:
On the bench model hang the pumping unit in its holder bracket on the side of the frame.
Remove the plastic protective cap from the end of the hydraulic hose. Screw the hydraulic
hose onto the cylinder hose fitting. The fitting has a knurled collar that you can tighten by
hand. (Do not usea wrench because damage may occurto the fitting) The hose has a check
valve that prevents oil from escaping so if hose is ever removed air will not get in the system.

9
Install a nose piece and use table blocks when operating this machine.
Nose piece
Table block
NOTE:
System is filled with oil and may take a few pumps to fill all lines.
Close the pump valve and pump to check for piston action, and for
leaks. If air appears to be in the system, open the valve handle and pump
vigorously about a dozen times. Close valve and try again.
STEP 10:
Chose location placement as described on page 2. Mount the press securely.
You are now ready to use the press.
5. OPERATION (PROCEDURE)
Always use the supplied nose pieces.The flat nose piece will be goodfor most pressing and
flattening operations. The step style nose piece will work well for pressing bearing, bushing
and parts that have a hole that the nose piece will fit into. This nose piece will help support or
hold the piece during pressing operations.
There are two table plates that should always be used as a backing plate during pressing
operations. You will find notches in these table plates to allow you to use the press as a
straightening press for axles, shafts, etc and most round stock.
When using your press always use the highest table setting to minimize the stroke distance
of the ram. Note: Only use supplied table pins. Do not weld or pin table. Once a part is put in
the press and is clamped or braced securely, close the pumping unit release valve handle.
(Clockwise). Pump the handle to lower the ram. Pump until pressing operation is completed.
If you need to maintain pressure leave the valve on the pumping unit closed. When
operation is complete, turn the valve counter-clockwise to release pressure and raise the
ram. Once the ram has been raise just above the work close valve again and repeat

10
operation on the next part. There is no need to raise the ram all the way to the top each
time.
If pressing application requires a certain tonnage, press until the gauge reads the
appropriate tonnage then stop. Release pressure and repeat operation.
NOTE: Never pump the ram down fully and dead head the ram in the cylinder. Only build
pressure when using thetable plates or a part is being pressed. Failure to do thismay cause
ram seal damage and leaking.
If the application requires off center pressing, loosen the head ram traverse plate bolts and
slide head left or right to the area where pressing is required. You may now proceed with the
operation. When head is returned to the center position snug these bolts up to prevent
unexpected movement.
Always make sure you are
pressing with the whole ram.
Center ram over the work, do
not press with only the edge
of the nose piece. This can
cause injury by ejecting the
part, or damage to the ram.
6. MAINTENANCE OF MACHINE
MAINTENANCE!
1. On a regular basis wipe the entire press. Keep ram free from
debris and abrasive materials (Frequency depends on
environment the machine is in)
2. A light oil applied to the ram will help to keep the surface clean.
3. If the hydraulic hose or table pins are worn or cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
4. If oil is ever needed, remove plug from the top of the pumping unit
and add hydraulic jack oil. Bleed the system by pumping the
handle repeatedly about a dozen times with the valve open. Close
valve and check that air has been bled.
5. WARNING: Never make adjustments to the pressure setting
adjustment. Never remove the red plastic cap covering this
adjustment screw. Serious machine damage or physical injury
may occur.

7. TROUBLE SHOOTING:
Problem Solution
Oil leaking around ram. Put ram under full pressure for 1 hour. Bad seal
Ram is jerky or sluggish With valve open repeatedly pump the handle to bleed air from lines.
Ram does not return fully Open and close valve several times. Return spring broken.
Pump will not pump Make sure valve is fully closed. Low oil level. Add oil and bleed (Last page)
Leaking by gauge Place Teflon tape to threads and reinstall.
Leaking by hoses Check all fittings, make sure they are tight. Look for a hole or abrasions.
Will not reach max. tonnage Check that the valve is closed fully. Bleed system.
Will not hold pressure Some bleed off will occur over time. Check if valve is closed fully
