Use only original spare parts from TOX®PRES-
SOTECHNIK.
Installing the press completely
After repair or service work, any co-
vers that have been removed must
be properly assembled again.
Check also the screwing and the
tightness of all connections of
pneumatically driven accessories.
Do not modify the machine!
Arbitrary conversions or alterations
(mechanical or pneumatic) endan-
ger the safety of personnel, of the
whole machine, or of other material
assets.
Protective guards
When using the press according to its intended
use, danger to the operating staff is largely ex-
cluded. The design also takes into account any
foreseeable malfunction.
Owing to the nature of the operating cycles, how-
ever, the machine has some areas and parts
which cannot be protected without impairing its
function and operation. Therefore, in spite of
structural safety measures and mounted protec-
tive guards, there remains a residual risk
•to the life and health of the operator or of third
parties,
•damage to the tool or other material assets,
•to the efficient operation of the machine.
Pay attention to stroke length,
risk of pinching!
This fine press realizes a pneumatic
power stroke along the whole stroke
length. This extended power stroke
needs corresponding protective
measures in order to exclude any
risk of injuries.
When using the press for insert
work, a two-hand safety control
must be employed.
Protective guards
The machine may only be used if
all of the necessary protective
guards are properly installed and
are effective.
These guards must not be circum-
vented or rendered ineffective.
Safety regulations
Observe the valid national safety
regulations. Especially pay atten-
tion to the pneumatics and the
pneumatic pipes.
Particular risks
– Injuries caused by the bursting
of a pneumatic pipe.
– Crushing of limbs if
not properly handled
In the event of injuries or accidents,
consult a doctor immediately!
Environmental protection
Observe regulations
With all work on the machine, the
regulations of the country regarding
noise and environment must be ob-
served.
When selecting the required operating materials
(e.g. lubricants, lubrication oils, filter cartridges,
cleansing agents), take into consideration the
material's environmental safety, health risks and
disposal regulations in force.
Disposal
When disposing of the pneumatic
press and its accessories, observe
the local environmental protection
regulations in force at the time of
disposal. This also applies to wear
and spare parts.

The fine press must only be used for the intended
working process. Any other use or application be-
yond this does not come under the scope of in-
tended use. The manufacturer is not liable for any
damages arising as a result – the risk is borne by
the user. Permission for any application not men-
tioned here must be agreed with TOX®PRES-
SOTECHNIK.
The fine presses of the series TOX®-FinePress
are built exclusively for industrial applications.
Conditions for use
Ambient temperature
The operation of the TOX®-Press is
only permitted within
Tmin = 10°C and Tmax = 60°C.
When operated outside these tem-
perature limits, operational faults or
damage to seals may occur.
Preparation of compressed air
The machine must only be used
with filtered and dried compressed
air. The maximum permissible par-
ticle size is 40 μm.
Operation with unfiltered com-
pressed air may result in premature
damage to the seals.
The machine can also be operated
with slightly oiled compressed air.
In this case, take special care to
ensure that the oiler setting is eco-
nomical.
Special working environments
If you want to use the machine in a
special working environment (e.g.
outdoors or in a dusty or humid en-
vironment, as part of food-safe op-
eration or under particular chemical
or physical conditions), please con-
tact our service department and
ask what conditions are necessary
in order to do so.
Storage conditions
Store the press in a dry and dust-proof place.
Cover the press with a suitable dust cover. Store
the press at an ambient temperature between -
10 and 60°C.

Pneumatic Press PFS /PFL /PFW
14 OM 45.PFS-PFL-PFW.201803.en
Press function
The presses of series TOX®-FinePress type PFS
/PFL /PFW are merely pneumatically operated
and controlled. This pneumatic press of linear ef-
fect realizes a pneumatic stroke along the whole
length of the stroke. This pneumatic power
stroke needs corresponding protective
measures in order to exclude any risk of injuries.
The pneumatic cylinder is mounted directly to the
press frame.
The piston of the pneumatic cylinder generates a
power which is proportional to the pressure. The
nominal force is reached at the maximum operat-
ing pressure of 6 bar. At a proportionally decreas-
ing force, however, it is possible to operate the
presses up to approx. 3 bar.
The fine presses of this type can be used option-
ally with a purely pneumatic control system or an
electrical control system.
Due to their manifold shifting and adjusting pos-
sibilities, the machines of series TOX®-Fine-
Press can be easily adapted to the desired ap-
plications.
Technical data, machine dimen-
sions and description
The technical data can be found in
chapter 1.
Detailed information on
machine dimensions, a brief
description of the product lines
and available accessories
can be found in the "TOX®-Fine-
Press" brochure.

are used, you run the risk of dam-
aging the drive or add-on parts.
Do not fix the ring bolts to the
pneumatic cylinder!
Take off the lid of the press frame and attach
the ring bolt.
Take the crank handle and the tool out of the
press frame (they might fall out during
transport).
Attach the transport gear to the ring bolts.
Lift up the machine carefully
Pay attention to the gravity center
of the machine:
– the press might slightly swing out
when lifted up.
The transport gear may tear. There-
fore, keep a safe distance from the
means of transport.
Transport with lifting device (schematic)
Transport using a fork lift truck or pallet
truck
Safety measures
The small TOX®-FinePress is only
permitted to be transported on a
stable base (e.g. pallet) and must
be protected against sliding.

6 Installation
Erecting the press
The location must be determined. The space
required for the machine must be sufficiently
dimensioned.
The required space for the supply pipes must
also be taken into consideration.
Machine weight
The location and the on-site fixture
must be calculated for the weight of
the press including the tool and the
accessories.
In addition to the weight of the de-
vice, any loads caused by the
working process must also be
taken into consideration (dynamics
and vibrations).
The working area must be defined and config-
ured in line with the applicable regulations (es-
pecially with regard to ergonomics and
safety).
The frame for the machine must be ready for
mounting.
Risks during erection
Use a suitable hoist to raise the
machine (see the "Transport" chap-
ter). The hoisting gear must be de-
signed for the machine weight.
Do not lift the machine in the tool
area or on the add-on parts.
No unauthorized individuals must
be within the danger area.
Noise protection
For noise protection, we recom-
mend placing a felt or foam mat
(approx. 1 cm) between the press
frame and the base frame and/or
the table (not obligatory).
Screwing on the press
Before operating the press, it must
be screwed to the base frame (op-
tion) or to a solid table (e.g. work
bench). Otherwise, the press is not
permitted to be operated.
Supplied tools
A set of Allen keys and the crank
for the height adjustment can be
found under the removable top
cover of the press frame.
Mounting the press
The process of erecting the press depends on
the version of the press. The mounting dimen-
sions can be found in "TOX®-FinePress" data
sheet.
Use appropriate lifting gear to place the press
on the base frame.
Align the press on the frame.
Fix the press on the provided base frame or
table.
Erecting with a base frame (option)
Mount the base frame according to the sepa-
rate mounting instructions.
Use appropriate lifting gear to place the press to
the intended position.
Align the press.
Check whether the machine is horizontal in
both axes and compensate any unevenness
using the adjustable feet (not in case of a set
of swivel casters).
Should the base frame be equipped with a set
of movable swivel casters (option), the swivel
casters must be mounted instead of the ad-
justable feet.
Set of swivel casters
Before operation, the swivel cast-
ers must be locked using the fixing
lever.
