3.3. OPERATION
Position where the press has to be placed must have the
following characteristics:
1) The floor surface should be flat and hard
2) The floor must have a load capacity sufficient to sustain the
sum of the following weights:
- Weight of the press (see table of weights in paragraph 2)
- Weight of the operator
- Variable weights depending on the use for which the press is
intended
3) Ensure there is sufficient free space around the area free of
any obstacles
4) The environment should be well lit
The press must be fixed to the floor with suitable fixings to ensure safety & stability.
3.4. TESTING
It’s important to perform an initial inspection before using the
press in the location where it is installed.
The items to be checked are:
1) General visual check of the machine to identify any damage,
lack of parts and appropriate assembly.
2) Check the stability of the press
3) Check the operation of the piston vacuum cycles. Check that
the piston extends and returns fully.
4) Make sure there is no leakage of oil, check the hydraulic hose
for wear or damage and that the connections are tight.
5) Check that the piston can move horizontally when the piston
mounting bolts are slightly loosened.
If you experience damage, lack of parts, lack of stability,
incorrect assembly, oil leaks, etc., provide a restore / repair the
differences before using the machine.

4. PRESS USE
4.1 PRESS BED HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Before moving the press bed make sure that the hydraulic circuit
is not pressurised, that the press bed is free and there is nothing
placed on it.
To move the press bed, proceed as follows:
1) Lift the press bed
2) Remove the support pins
3) Insert the pins into the first free hole under the beam of the
press bed
4) Make sure that the pins are fully inserted (washers rest
against the frame of the press bed)
5) Lower the bed until it rests above the inserted support pins.
6) Make sure the bed is well supported and secure before use.
Always use the press bed in a horizontal position, the support
pins at the same level; and DO NOT EVER use the press bed at
an angle.
4.2 PISTON POSITION ADJUSTMENT
The press is equipped with a system that allows the piston to
move horizontally along the upper beam.
To move the piston, proceed in the following way:
1) Make sure that the hydraulic system is not under pressure
(the pressure gauge must be zero) and that the piston rod is fully
retracted.
2) If tight, slightly loosen the bolts used to lock the piston body.
3) Manually move the piston horizontally and bring it to the
desired location.
4) Tighten the locking / securing bolts to ensure that the piston
does not move freely. Do not overtighten these bolts; they are
only to prevent unwanted movement of the piston when in work.
Excessive tightening may affect correct operation of the press.
5) Ensure that when moving the cylinder hose circuit, this does
not touch or come close to cutting surfaces or heat sources that
can cause damage.

4.3 PRESSING OPERATION
The hydraulic circuit of the press is equipped with a pump with
two types of advancement of the rod: one fast and one slow.
The fast speed allows for rapid piston rod movement –but does
not allow the press to exert high forces onto a workpiece; while
the slow speed allows slow movement of the piston rod and for
the creation of high forces to be generated onto the workpiece.
To apply force with the press –use as follows:
1) Turn in the control knob A, clockwise until closed.
2) Turn in the control knob B, clockwise until closed to select fast
movement of the piston rod.
3) Operate the pump by moving the lever up and down, to bring
the base of the piston rod close to the workpiece being pressed;
and exert the desired pressure.
4) To exert higher forces, turn out the control knob B anti-
clockwise for a few complete rotations.
5) Operate the pump by moving the lever up and down to extend
the piston rod

4.3 PRESSING OPERATION
The hydraulic circuit of the press is equipped with a pump with
two types of advancement of the rod: one fast and one slow.
The fast speed allows for rapid piston rod movement –but does
not allow the press to exert high forces onto a workpiece; while
the slow speed allows slow movement of the piston rod and for
the creation of high forces to be generated onto the workpiece.
To apply force with the press –use as follows:
1) Turn in the control knob A, clockwise until closed.
2) Turn in the control knob B, clockwise until closed to select fast
movement of the piston rod.
3) Operate the pump by moving the lever up and down, to bring
the base of the piston rod close to the workpiece being pressed;
and exert the desired pressure.
4) To exert higher forces, turn out the control knob B anti-
clockwise for a few complete rotations.
5) Operate the pump by moving the lever up and down to extend
the piston rod
6) Gauge the amount of force exerted by the press by comparing
the value indicated on the pressure gauge with the conversion
table located on the upper beam of the press.
