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 following:

SET UP
For shipping convenience some of the parts are not assembled. Assemble these parts in the
following order:
1. Bolt the base angles to uprights using four provided bolts and nuts. Ensure that the base
angles are against the stops on the uprights. The press should set on a level floor with
base angles touching the floor at all points, use shims when necessary.
2. Connect airline in to street elbow (Item 136) at the right side of the control block. Avoid
restrictions in air supply line to ensure ampler air to the air motor. For maximum
performance the air supply line should be 1/2” pipe if the distance from the compressor to
the press is 0-30 feet, 3/4” line for 30-60 feet, and 1” if distance is greater then 60 feet.
WARNING: AIR MUST BE MOISTURE FREE. WATER IN THE AIR LINE COULD
CORRODE PRESS BEYOND REPAIR.
3. Oil Requirements: Fill the reservoir with Mobil DTE 24 or equivalent oil through the
pipeline in back of the press at pipe coupling by removing the pipe plug. Make sure the
air source is removed from the reservoir prior to removing the plug. Oil level may
be checked, with the ram up, by removing the pipe plug on the right side of the
reservoir near the front. Replace plug before operating the press.
Model 6-275 & 6-475, 75-ton presses use 10 quarts.
4. Attach nose piece to ram by inserting shank into ram and tightening the set screw.
5. Place the hoist crank on the lift drum shaft. Turn the hoist crank to relieve the pressure on
the table pins. Keeping tension on the hoist crank, remove the table pins one at a time.
a. After removing the table pins turn the crank running the table channels from top to
bottom. Check to make sure the cable is tracking correctly. The cable should be
on each of the two upper pulleys and should track back and forth on the cable
drum. Always place table pins under the table channels before releasing the hoist
crank when positioning the table channels for cable tracking, servicing, or set-up
for desired work opening.
b. If a tracking problem exists contact Dake for instructions. Be sure all table pins are
fully inserted in place before applying pressure. Always remove or release
pressure on the cable before pressure is applied.

OPERATION
WARNING DO NOT OVERSTROKE THE RAM. Over-stroking will cause premature seal
failure. Models 6-275, and 6-475 have a 10-inch stroke.
The press has been completely tested at the factory and after setting up according to this
manual the press is ready for operation. However it is necessary for the operator to acquaint
themselves with the controls.
1. Three screws (Item 109) are used to lock the workhead in desired position along the
head channels.
2. The handcrank is to raise and lower the work table channels to proper work height. When
desired height is obtained insert the table pins. Models 6-275, and 6-475 use 2 pins on
each side, 4 total. Be sure all table pins are in place and in as far as they can go
before pressure is applied. Be sure to slack off the cable before pressure is
applied. See step 5 of the “SET UP” in this manual.
3. The handle on the left side of the control block (Item 76) opens and closes the ball valve
which releases the ram pressure. This valve should be kept firmly closed and opened
only when it is desired to return the ram to its up position.
4. The two table plates and two V-blocks are used for supporting the work in process.
5. The control knob (Item 103) on the right side of the panel regulates the speed of ram
travel. The knob will return to the off position when released.
6. The relief valve (Item 90) had been set at factory to open at maximum tonnage of the
press. The valve can be adjusted by removing the hex nut located on the top of the valve
block at the right front of the reservoir and turning the adjusting screw to the left for a
lower setting. WARNING: NEVER EXCEED THE RATED TONNAGE OF THE
PRESS.
MAINTENANCE
Recommended to replace hydraulic oil every 6 months of machine use. See step 3 in “SET UP”
section for instructions.
LUBRICATION
•Keep all working parts of the press well-oiled for easier operation.
•Keep a light film of oil over the entire surface of the ram to prevent rust.
•Regularly clean off work surfaces and the surrounding work area.
