OPERATION MANUAL
Before operating the press read this manual, the instructions and safety warnings. e safety pre-
cautions are to help the operator to avoid personal injury or machine damage when operating the
machine. Operators should be trained in the use of high pressure hydraulic machines.
Metalmaster cannot be responsible for any injury or damage to the machine resulting from un-
safe product maintenance or incorrect operation.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment damage and
personal injury.
2.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING
DO NOT exceed the equipment ratings. Never attempt to press more than the capacity of the
cylinder. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal injury.
DO NOT set the relief valve to a higher pressure than the maximum rated pressure of the pump.
Higher settings may result in equipment damage or personal injury.
DO NOT use the machine with faulty parts or damaged hydraulic hoses. Notify the supervisor
and wait for the machine to be repaired. Immediately replace worn or damaged parts
WARNING: be sure the setup is stable before pressing the workpiece. e workpiece should be
placed on a at surface that can support the load. Do not weld or otherwise modify the press.
Avoid pressing loads that are not directly centered on the cylinder ram. O-center loads produce
considerable strain on cylinders and ram and could cause the load to slip or fall, potentially caus-
ing a dangerous hazard. Distribute the load evenly across the entire surface.
To avoid personal injury keep hands and arms away from cylinder and workpiece during opera-
tion.

OPERATION MANUAL
2.2 PRESS ASSEMBLY
e Metalmaster press may be supplied in pack
conguration for ease of transport. e pack comes
mounted on a metal skid for stability and should not
be removed until the table has been attached to the
main frame. When liing, a crane suitable to han-
dle the load should be used. e use of certied web
slings must be used and care should be taken at all
times.
Before releasing the strapping, sling the table (Fig. 1)
Once the slings are safely attached, li the table o
the pack and lay it down on wooded beams to prevent
damage.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 4
Using a forkli, li the table (Fig. 2) and slide it
between the main frame making sure that bottom
web of the table frame is mounted under the roll-
ers. (Fig. 3) Care should be taken not to damage
the rollers during the assembly.
Once the table has been mounted to the main
frame the legs can now be assembled. To do this
li the press as (Fig. 4) and attach the legs and
remove the main frame from the metal skid.
WARNING ! e table and main frame should
be clamped to ensure that it does not move
during this operation.

OPERATION MANUAL
3 INSTALLATION
Position the press assembly in a suitable location. e dimensions can be found in the specications
list on page 4. e base of the press should sit on a concrete oor at least 150mm thick.
NOTE ! e press must be permanently mounted to the oor with bolts through the four legs.
Fig. 5
e press should be level and stable. Place a level across the and
along the table and adjust until the table is level.
e table legs are tted with and adjusting screw and a hole for
the hold down bolt
WARNING
e machine is top heavy when the bolster
is in the top position
3.3 HYDRAULIC OIL TANK
Once the press has been installed and bolted to the oor the
hydraulic oil level needs to checked in the 40 ltr tank before
operating. e oil level should be half way up the site glass
on the side of the tank (Fig. 6) Check all hydraulic hoses
to be sure the ttings and couplers are tight and leak free.
Check the hose positions to be sure the hoses are located in
an area where they will avoid damage during press opera-
tions.
3.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
e press needs to be connected to the power supplied. e power requirements are listed below
VOLTAGE.........................................415 Volts 3 Phase 50 Hz
AMPS.................................................15 Amps
e press is supplied without any lead and requires a qualied electrician to connect the machine
to the power supply. If a plug and lead is to be tted then either a service engineer of qualied elec-
trician ahould be used.
WARNING
is machine has an electrical hazard.
Electrical cabinets must not be opened except by a
qualied electrician.

OPERATION MANUAL
4.2 RAISING THE BOLSTER
Raising and lowering the bolster is done by using a
combination of the ram and two tubes supplied with
the machine. e following process is used to raise or
lower the bolster.
1. Place the tube “L” (Fig. 13) on the table and secure
with the pin supplied (Fig. 14)
2. Move the head so the ram is sitting over the top of
the tube. When in place lock the main frame with
the hand pump
3. Carefully apply pressure to the ram until the pins
(Fig. 15) become loose. Remove the safety retainer
and slide the pins out.
4. Using the ram raise the bolster until the next set of
holes line up. Place both pins in the holes and then
retract the ram.
5. Add part “M” extenstion to the part “L” (Fig. 16)
and repeat step 4.
6. When the bolster is in the desired place and both
the large pins are in place, make sure that the
safety retainers have been placed back on the pins.
Use the same proces to lower the bolster.
