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. Therefore, 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 every production operation performed on
a press production system.
A complete and current copy of the ANSI B.11.2 standard can be obtained by contacting the

Filling the Pump Unit
To fill the pumping unit, use exclusively the oils indicated in the table or equivalent. The
environmental conditions must be considered before purchasing oil. To transfer the oil from the
container to the tank use an external filler to prevent the introduction of foreign material or liquids at
the time of filling.
Amount of oil for each press:
40 Ton
10.5 Gallons
70 Ton
10.5 Gallons
100 Ton
15.5 Gallons
Pump Rotation
After making the electrical connections to the press it is necessary to make a visual check on the
direction of rotation of the electric motor.
Before checking the direction of the rotation of the pump, fill the reservoir with oil.
1. Unscrew the inspection cap.
2. Identify a reference point on the drive shaft.
3. Power up the motor for a maximum of 1-2 seconds.
4. Check that the rotation of the shaft in moving in the clockwise direction.
a. If the motor rotates in the wrong direction contact your electrician.
5. Screw down inspection cap.
Worktable Height Adjustment
To optimize use of the press it is necessary to set the worktable to a different height in relation to the
operation to be carried out on the press.
Before lifting the mobile table first check that:
•The eyebolts fixed to the worktable are fully tightened.
•The eyebolt support (nose piece) is properly screws onto the cylinder ram.
•The eyebolts fixed to the nose piece are fully tightened.
1. Hook chains to the respective eyebolts and lift the cylinder ram until the chains are set under
tension but, do not lift the table.
2. Check all chain connections to eyebolts to ensure a safe secure connection.
3. If secure, lift the table just above the desired table height.
4. Take the split pins off and then remove the table pins.
5. Insert the table pins to the desired work table height pin location then insert the split pins.
6. Slowly move the table down until it rests on the table pins.
7. Check to ensure the position and assembly of the pins are correct.
8. Unhook chains and leave them to hang in the downwards position.

Priming the Pump
Before starting the machine for the first time it is necessary to prime the pump.
1. Check that all the valves and distributors are in the rest position.
2. Jog the start button (electric motor), when the unit emits a dull sound with no jumps and the
sound of the pump is constant.
3. If the sound is uneven or bubbly there is air in the pump still. Repeat step 2 if this occurs.
4. The oil in the reservoir may fall on startup due to:
a. Absorption of volume by the cylinder.
b. Absorption of volume by the pumping unit.
c. Discharge of air bubbles remaining in the piping.
5. It may be necessary to top off the level of the oil to bring it back to the correct height. By
checking the level gauge, the level should be about half way up the gauge.
OPERATION
−Before starting any operations, make sure there are no other people in the immediate vicinity
of the area.
It is strictly forbidden to pass under the worktable.
To operate the cylinder activate the master switch and then operate the distributor level.
•Pulling the lever towards the operator (Pos. 2) will lower the ram.
•Pushing the lever all the way away from the operator (Pos. 3) will raise the ram.
•Releasing the lever will return it to natural position (Pos. 1) and stop the ram’s movement.
With the hand wheel positioned on the side of the distributors (Pos. 4) it is possible to adjust the
operating pressure continually and therefor the pressing force of the cylinder. The pressure gauge
(Pos. 5) displays the pressure during working phases.
Adjustment of the maximum pressure must be increased gradually from a lower pressure until the
necessary capacity is reached to perform the operation at hand.

Operating Temperature
After the machine has been operating at full rate check that the oil temperature does not exceed
140°F. If it does exceed 140°F check that the oil used is not too viscous and replace with more
suitable oil if this is the case.
MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance operation must be carried out by authorized and trained personnel.
All maintenance or cleaning operations must be done with the machine properly locked out in
accordance with OSHA regulations.
−Below is a table the normal times for maintenance work. In addition the work area and press
