Safe handling, transport, and storage of the press:
Your press is designed to be inherently safe under all normal conditions. When handling or transporting
your press, be aware of the weight of your unit and have an appropriate number of people to lift the
weight safely: V1-44 — 256 lbs (116 kg); V1-46 — 308 lbs (140 kg) V1-66 — 400 lbs (181 kg)
If your press is to be moved or transported regularly, it is recommended that you purchase the optional
casters.
In the event of an accident or breakdown:
In the unlikely event that a part of your press breaks, or if your press does not seem to be operating normally and the
instructions in this manual do not correct the issue, do not continue using your press. Contact Vastex for assistance
in repairing your press.
Safety during maintenance or while making adjustments:
When cleaning or lubricating your press, make sure that nobody in the work area is close enough to cause any
part of the press to move unexpectedly.
Do not remove springs unless under the specific direction of Vastex customer service.
Observe the general safety cautions on page 2 of this manual.
Placing this equipment into service:
Stability during use, transportation, assembly, foreseeable break-
downs, etc.:
This equipment is designed and expected to be stable during all normal conditions of use.
When assembling your press, do not stand tall parts upright until you are ready to install them; lay
them flat instead.
It is recommended that assembly should be done by two or more people, to facilitate the alignment
of parts that must be bolted together.
If one or more legs of the press will be removed, be certain to adequately support the rest of the
press.
