home workshops. Model 61051 is a 0.5-ton press, 61201 is a
2-ton press, 61301 is a 3-ton press and 61401 is a 4-ton press.
SAFET RULES
•For best operation, the arbor press must be bolted to a
stationary object that is also affixed to the floor.
•When using the press, be sure the work is mounted
securely in it. Do not attempt to use the press with the
workpiece mounted on an angle.
•Use only accessories designed for the arbor press.
Attachments and equipment used in the pressing opera-
tion must be as strong as the press. Use steel collars and
blocks to press against the workpiece.
•Do not overload the press by using handle extensions
(cheater bars).
•When not in use, the ram should be in the down position
to prevent accidents.
•Know the arbor press and accessories. Read and under-
stand owner’s manual.
•Wear a face shield or safety glasses.
•Never place hands in jeopardy.
•Always check your set up, i.e., see that the ram contacts
workpiece squarely before applying pressure.
•Keep your mind on your work. Be alert.
•Make sure workpiece, punch, anvil and accessories are
securely clamped.
•Don’t force the arbor press or its accessories.
