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 safeguards. 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 ever production operation performed on a
press production system.
A complete and current copy of the ANSI B11.2 standard can be obtained by contacting the

Operation
Procedure
- Always use the supplied nose pieces. The flat nose piece will be good for most pressing and
flattening operations. The step style nose piece will work well for pressing bearing, bushing
and parts that have a hole that the nose piece will fit into. This nose piece will help support or
hold the piece during pressing operations.
- There are two table plates that should always be used as a backing plate during pressing
operations. You will find notches in these table plates to allow you to use the press as a
straightening press for axles, shafts, etc. and most round stock.
- When using your press always use the highest table setting to minimize the stroke distance of
the ram.
NOTE: Only use supplied table pins. Do not weld or pin table.
- Once a part is put in the press and is clamped or braced securely, close the pumping unit
release valve handle. (Clockwise).
- Pump the handle to lower the ram. Pump until pressing operation is completed. If you need to
maintain pressure leave the valve on the pumping unit closed.
- When operation is complete, turn the valve counterclockwise to release pressure and raise the
ram. Once the ram has been raising just above the work close valve again and repeat
operation on the next part. There is no need to raise the ram all the way to the top each time.
- If pressing application requires a certain tonnage, press until the gauge reads the appropriate
tonnage then stop. Release pressure and repeat operation.
NOTE: Never pump the ram down fully and dead head the ram in the cylinder. Only build pressure
when using the table plates or a part is being pressed. Failure to do this may cause ram seal damage
and leaking.
- If the application requires off center pressing, loosen the head ram traverse plate bolts and
slide head left or right to the area where pressing is required. You may now proceed with the
operation. When head is returned to the center position snug these bolts up to prevent
unexpected movement.

How to Add Fluid to Hydraulic Pump:
1. Retract the ram that is connected to the pump.
2. Place the pump on a smooth, level surface so that that handle is in the up position.
3. Remove filler plug (small plug near the top).
4. Lift the plug end of the pump 3

 3
4
of an inch off the ground to properly fill the reservoir.
5. Replace the plug to ensure quality sealing.
6. Reinstall pump on press.
7. Open the valve and pump continuously to properly bleed the system.
Trouble Shooting
Question: Oil leaking around the ram?
Solution: Secure the ram under pressure for 1 hour. This is a cause of a bad seal.
Question: Ram is jerky or sluggish?
Solution: With the valve open, repeatedly pump the handle to allow air to be released from the
lines.
Question: Ram does not return to the starting position at the top of the stroke?
Solution: Open and close the valve multiple times. If no progress has been made, the return
spring may have failed.
Question: What should I do if the pump will not build pressure?
Solution: Check and see if the valve is at the completely at the closed position.
Check oil fluid level. If low, add fluid and bleed to maximize efficiency.
Question: The pressure gauge on the press is leaking.
Solution: Apply thread sealer (Teflon Tape) with the flow threads on the gauge. Do not apply the
Teflon Tape against the threads, this will not allow the gauge to seal properly.
Question: Leaking oil around the hoses?
Solution: Make sure to check all fittings. Tighten if they are loose, and check for any
damage on the hose itself.
Question: The press will not reach the maximum allowable tonnage?
Solution: Check the valve to make sure it is fully in the closed position. You may have to bleed
the system to maximize efficiency.
Question: The press will not hold pressure?
Solution: Check the valve and make sure it is in the closed position. Some cases, press will
naturally bleed itself. If not, bleed the system.
