0.3 safety devices
- Two-hands press closure command: this guarantees the operator safety during the closing
movement of the mobile platen of the press (fig.0,3,1 P2-P3).
- Safety rope this protects personnel exposed to the press closing movement.
If this rope is pushed or pulled during the press closing, the mobile platen will stop and then it will
descend for about two centimeters; if the rope is pushed or pulled during the press opening, the
mobile platen will stop.
If the rope is too relaxed or too taight, the press stops (EMERGENCY / STOP).
In this case the tension of the rope must be adjusted by proper device (fig. 0.3.3).
Reset:
- remove the cause of the emergency situation.
- Rearm the limit switch “RESET”
- Press the reset button “P1+L2”
At this point, the reset has been made and the machine can start to work again.

There are normally three methods of shipping the machine to the user:
- in packing wooden cases
- in overseas containers
- by truck
Transport in wooden cases:
Packaging features:
- The machine is contained in a single case.
- It is covered with cellophane and attached to the bottom of the case by brackets to prevent it
from moving during shipping.
- The inner walls of the case are covered with tar-coated paper as protection from moisture
damage.
- A layer of cellophane is stapled to the outside of the case to protect it from the rain.
- Reinforcing steel bands are wound around the case.
- The cases bear written instructions on the movement methods.
Lifting:
Before lifting the machine with the packaging, please check carefully its
weight as set out in table 1 of chapter 2!
The case has two holes on the upper part.To open these holes, pull away the cellophane cover.
DO NOT STEP ON TOP OF THE CASE!
When the holes are opened, access is gained to the hooking points of the machine as shown in
the picture.

15 0804/M-PA
Once the case has been moved, REPLACE the wooden panels and cover the holes.
!DO NOT USE STRAPS OR FORK LIFTS TO MOVE THE CASE.
Opening the case:
- Remove the metal straps taking care to avoid injury due to its tension.
- Remove the outer cellophane covering.
- Open the side walls using a suitable lever (crowbar)
- Remove the lid and side walls.
- Remove the cellophane around the machine.
- Before moving the machine, remove the brackets that attach it to the bottom of the case:
To move the parts of the machine, use the method described in chapter 2.
Container or road transport:
The base of the machine should be fixed to the support surface by stapling some wooden wed-
ges. It should also be held down using cords or straps to keep it under tension.
BEFORE LIFTING THE MACHINE FROM THE SUPPORT SURFACE, REMOVE THE
WEDGES.
The machine should be lifted as shown in chapter 2 below.

16 0804/M-PA
2 Rigging/lifting methods
The lifting and rigging of the machine should be carried out by personnel trained and
specialised in this type of operation.
The operations can be carried out only by overhead crane or crane, proceeding as
described below and with reference to picture below
- use steel chains or ropes with hooks, of the same length and of a suitable capacity;
- hook the steel chains or ropes to an overhead crane of suitable capacity;
- position the hooks at the lifting points of the machine situated on the upper part;
- raise slowly and move with the maximum caution, avoiding even minimum swing, and position
the machine in its operating zone.
! IMPORTANT: all personnel should keep clear of the suspended load and/or in
any case from the operating range of the overhead crane during the lifting and
movement of the machine.
