Safety instructions
4.1 General safety instructions:
Any person charged with setting up, operation,
maintenance and repair must have read and understood
the operating instructions and, in particular, the chapter on safety.
It is recommended to the machine user to provide in-house operating instructions, prepared by a
person with professional skills and qualifications to train particular operators. The participation of the
instruction and training has to be confirmed by all participants in a written protocol.
Safety instructions to the machine user and / or operators:
– Any operation, that affects the safety of the equipment, must be omitted.
– The operator must ensure that no unauthorized persons work with or on the machine.
– The operator is obliged to check safety-relevant parts, f. e. protective devices before setting up
and in case of defects to have them repaired before start up the machine.
– The operator has to take care that a holding-down device is used for surface gluing so that the
workpiece cannot fall out of the frame due to the pressing pressure.
– When moving the press arm, hold the pad shoe, so that it cannot fall downwards.
– The pressure elements should only be actuated by means of pure muscular strength and
without the aid of any tools. A violation of the regulations will result in a damage to the gluing
press (bent profiled pipe, broken rack-and-pinion gears) which is excluded from the guarantee.
– It is important to ensure, whether there is any other person in the working area or danger area.

Set up / Operation
Installation:
Place the press in an accessible place with flat ground.
The frame is then anchored to the ground.
Before starting work:
¾Always check whether all the controls on the gluing press are okay.
¾Check that the rack-and-pinion gears and hydraulic cylinders are free from dirt.
Remove possible glue residues from 90°-stop and pad shoes, so that a clean gluing (bond)
is guaranteed.
Always check, that all pressure elements are properly hooked and clamped before
starting work!
Calculate the dimensions of the finished wooden board or the finished frame so that
you can adjust the press arms, support shoes and hydraulic cylinders accordingly.
Adjust the press arms in such a way (horizontally move) that a uniform distance and thus a uniform
pressing pressure is produced.

Set up / Operation
Make sure that the hydraulic pumps are fully retracted. Now adjust the pad shoes in such a way that
the finished wooden board or frame still receives sufficient pressure (observe the max. way of the
hydraulic pumps!). If necessary, the hydraulic pumps can also be adjusted in their position. For this
purpose, the screw handles are released, the hydraulic pumps are moved upwards or downwards and
the screw handles are tightened again.
Pull up the pad shoe to release the locking pin.
The pad shoe can now be moved freely.
Then release the pad shoe just before the desired
position and push it until the bolt snaps back into place.
Loosen the screw handle,
move the hydraulic pump,
tighten the screw handle

Clamping and gluing process:
Once pad shoes, press arms and hydraulic cylinders have been positioned, the actual working
process can be started.
Equip the press with the glued work pieces so that they stand on the stop rail. Now pump the
hydraulic cylinders downwards until the desired pressing pressure is reached. Now place the side
pressure pipe in position. This is done by actuating the lifting mechanism and thus lifting the side
pressure pipe.
Make sure that the snap-in pins of the side pressure pipe snap into the rowes of holes above and
below, so that the resulting side load can be discharged optimally.
When gluing frames, ensure that the press shoes are seated at the corner points of
the frame so as to avoid deflection and possible damage to the workpiece.
Set up / Operation
Pump the hydraulic
cylinders downwards
Actuation of the lifting device,
move the side-pressure unit,
reduce the side-pressure unit
using the lifting device.

Crank the racks of the rack-and-pinion gear on the side pressure pipe to the left until the desired side
pressure is reached.
In the case of angle gluing, the swivel pressure shoes, available as accessories, can be pushed
onto the press shoes of the hydraulic pumps.
Set up / Operation
Crank the racks of the rack-and-pinion
gears to the left at the side pressure
device until the desired pressing pressure
is reached.

Set up / Operation
How to use the holding-down device (clamping device) (accessory):
Use a clamping device for surface gluing so that the workpiece does not bend forward during pressing
and the surface becomes even.
¾The holding-down device (clamping device) is simply to be mounted from above at the upper and
lower cross-tubes in the desired position.
¾Then crank the hold-down profile in the direction of the wood plate until the workpiece is evenly
against the press arms.
The holding down clamp serves only to prevent a deflection of the workpiece,
and not as an additional pressing device.
Place the clamping device on the top
Mount the clamping device
on the lower position
Place the clamping device on the work piece by means
of a crank

a valve, which allows the ram (plunger) to be driven
up independently with the press shoe.

Preventive Maintenance
With the Feichtner frame press you have acquired an extremely low maintenance
– almost maintenance free device. However, in order to guarantee an optimal
performance sequence and to extend the service life of the machine, the following
maintenance instructions should be observed.
1) Allow glue residues to harden and then scrape them off.
2) Clean or remove dust from the surface of the upper profile, the rollers and the hydraulic cylinders
occasionally.
3) The gauge screws are used to adjust the press arms and can be adjusted by means of an Allen key.
4) Occasionally the fastening screws on the frame
and on the press arms should be inspected and,
if necessary, retightened.
5) Regularly grease the rack-and-pinion gears by
means of a grease gun on the lubrication nipples
provided for this purpose.
At this point regularly
lubricate using a
grease gun
