Safe Operation
Observe the following guidelines when performing Press operations.
• Operator safety / Safe work zone Applying pressure to parts
or assemblies can cause failure of the part being worked, a part
adjacent to the work or the pressing tool. Failed parts can become
airborne projectiles with deadly force. Protect yourself with appro-
priate personal protective equipment when operating the press.
Protect others by defining a safe work zone for press use and
limiting access to the press operator.
• Press Inspection Press operations may generate concussive
failure to mechanical parts. Although Edwards press machinery is
fabricated with both bolted and welded construction, concussive
failure is a possibility over time or with extreme use. Prior to any
press operation, visually check all bolted and welded connections
for failure. All bolts must be tight and welds intact. Failure to verify
the structural integrity of the machinery may result in workpiece
shift, part ejection, operator injury or machinery damage.
• Workpiece Inspection Workpiece failure is the most common
source of injury during press operations. Take time to thoroughly
understand the workpiece. Never apply pressure to unstable
material, objects, round shapes, balls, springs or any item with
elastic, spring-back tendencies. Confirm the material properties
of the workpiece will withstand the pressure to be exerted by
the press. Confirm that workpiece items are stripped down to
their simplest form. Many components contain unseen items that
could fail during the press operation. Remove all sub components
known to the workpiece prior to a pressing operation. Workpiece
must be clean and free of substances at the pressing surface that
would allow the pressing surfaces to slip under load.
• Workpiece Support Workpiece failure may be a result of
improper or inadequate workpiece support. Adequate support
for the workpiece must be present through the entirety of the
press operation. Understand your workpiece and confirm that the
workpiece support system you employ will withstand the pressure
being exerted through the press operation.
• Safe use of tooling Edwards Mfg. Co. provides standard tooling
supplied with the HP20T. This tooling is designed to be safely
used with the arbor support. Custom tooling is available for
special applications. Care must be taken when selecting press
tooling. Select tooling that is designed and rated for the specific
application. Press with the shortest, most compact, tool length
available. Confirm that press tooling and workpiece are aligned
and follows a direct press path. Misaligned loads may fail the
press tooling or workpiece and cause operator injury or damage
to the machinery.
• Special Fits Not all parts were designed and engineered to be
removed or applied with a press. When inspecting your workpiece,
confirm any press tolerances, environmental, heating, cooling or
fixative requirements that require special care prior to initiating
the press operation. Do not proceed with a press operation with-
out acknowledgement that the workpiece is pressable.
• Do not force press Consider the rating of the press and the
work at hand. Gradually build pressure being applied to the work-
piece. Carefully observe the workpiece to avoid tooling misalign-
ment or workpiece failure. Observe the press as it reacts under
load. Do not overload the press. Take care to avoid parts falling
from the workpiece.

side of the machine. Hydraulic quick connections and accessory controls
are located on the drop-off side or end cap of the machine.
With the Ironworker power off, install Horizontal Press hoses, power and
control. Assure your M12 connections are seated properly. Align
M12 male and female fittings so that keyed surfaces align. Mis-
alignment of surfaces will prohibit correct operation.
• Install the Horizontal Press male and female accessory hydraulic
hoses to the ironworker male and female quick-connect hydraulic
fittings. Both fittings have a detent ball setting that must be aligned
to couple and uncouple hoses.
• Remove the safety cap at the push button port. Attach the Horizontal
Press hand control male mil. spec. control cable to the female mil.
spec. accessory control port at your Ironworkers Hydraulic Ac-
cessory package. Attach the yellow limit switch cable to the limit
switch port of the ironworker. Attach the yellow Auxiliary cable to
the Aux Light port on the ironworker.
With all Ironworker and Horizontal Press stations clear of hands,
tools, tooling, material or debris, power up the Ironworker by de-
pressing the green button on the starter box.
With the power on, your Ironworker machine will return to a neutral
position.
Turn the 3-position switch on the front of the machine case to the Ac-
cessory position. This operation disables the Ironworker and switches
control to the accessory hand control.
Test the Horizontal Press operation by pressing the OUT control button.
Once pressed, the cylinder will extend. Releasing pressure on the OUT
control button will stop the cylinder. Test the Horizontal Press operation
by pressing the IN control button. Once pressed, the cylinder will be
retracted back into the cylinder enclosure. Releasing pressure on the IN
control button will stop the cylinder.
Test the digital encoder and limit switches by rotating the scale hand
crank.
Press the red e-stop button to kill power at the Ironworker. To reset
power, twist the e-stop button and push start button at the Ironworker.
When disconnecting your Horizontal press, simply reverse procedure.
Replace the safety cap at the push button port to restore power to
your Ironworker.
