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:

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: A licensed qualified electrician that follows all state and local laws must
wire and install electrics on this press.
110 Volt
WARNING: Machine must have a designated 30 amp drop for 110 volts. This press
will not operate correctly without 30 amps.
For 110 volts this machine is ready to plug in. The machine can be wired 220-volt single phase.
Always follow the wiring diagram provided in the moor cover when converting to 220-volt single
phase. A cord and plug that is rated for a specific voltage and amperage must be used. This
rating can be found on the motor.
220 Volt Single Phase
The press new is shipped out as a 110-volt machine. If wiring must be changed to suit 220-volt
single phase.
1. The leads on the motor must be changed to fit 220-volt, 17.2 amps, follow the diagram on
the motor.
2. Install plug and wire that fits the rating on the motor, the plug and wire must be rated for
the voltage and amperage listed on the motor.
OPERATION
BEFORE FIRST TIME OPERATION
1. Make sure the reservoir is filled with 3 gallons of Mobil DTE 24 hydraulic fluid or
equivalent.
2. Turn the on/off power (toggle) switch to the “on” position (up).
3. Move the control lever down, this will advance the ram in the downward position.
4. Release the control lever and the ram will stop all movement.
5. Move the control lever to the up position and the ram with move up.
6. When the press is new be sure to move the ram up and down to work out any air that
may be in the system.
WARNING: When using the control lever in pressing operations or to return the ram
stop applying pressure once the handle reaches its positive stop. Applying additional
force on the lever does not increase ram speed and will lead to premature damage of the
valve.
