SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - CONTINUED
WARNING: To help prevent personal injury,
GENERAL
•
ALWAYS read and carefully follow the operating instructions and safety precautions before assembling
or using this press. Most problems with new equipment are caused by incorrect operation or assembly.
•
Read and carefully follow the operating instructions and safety precautions for the pump and cylinder
used with this press.
•
Presses can exert extremely high forces at moderate hydraulic pump pressures. If you have any
questions concerning how much force is exerted at a given pressure, contact your nearest Power Team
facility (see listing at the end of this document).
SET-UP
•
The owner/operator of this press must see that it is installed and operated according to federal (OSHA),
state, local European (EU), and other safety standards where applicable.
•
Install the press in an isolated area, or shield the press, and/or wrap the workpiece in a safety blanket
to minimize danger to others. Hydraulic pressure can cause materials to break, possibly resulting in
personal injury due to flying objects, falling objects, shifting loads and other hazards.
•
This press is designed for shop maintenance applications. Guards, enclosures, monitors, interlocks,
controls, restraints, and other devices must be used by the owner/operator when this press is used for
specific applications with hazards best known by the owner/operator. For information regarding other
applications, contact your nearest Power Team facility (see listing at the end of this document).
•
Additions of specific safety equipment, such as permanent enclosures, guards or shields, light
curtains, etc., to the press must be on separate, free-standing structures, or clamped to the press
frame without cutting, drilling, welding or otherwise modifying the press structure or affecting it's
function. Such modifications can cause equipment damage and/or personal injury.
•
Modifications to the structure and function of this press are not permitted, voids the warranty, may
cause personal injury, and voids the Declaration of Incorporation.
•
Any press accessories, fixtures, plates, or special equipment used with the press must have a
maximum tonnage rating equal to or higher than the maximum tonnage rating of the press, or breakage
and possible injury can occur.
•
The owner/operator of the press must ensure that all safety-related decals are installed, maintained,
and replaced if they become hard to read.
OPERATION
•
The press operator and anyone within sight of the press must wear protective eyewear that meets the
requirements of OSHA, ANSI Z87.1, or applicable EU standards.
•
It is the owner/operator's responsibility to use appropriate guarding to contain any pieces that might
break or fly apart when applying force. For added protection, always wrap the workpiece in a protective
blanket before applying force. Contact your nearest Power Team facility (see listing at the end of this
document) for more information about protective blankets.
•
Keep hands out of the work area during a pressing operation.
•
Workpieces must be well supported and aligned so that cylinder/ram force is straight, and parts being
pressed cannot slip out or break.
•
Use caution when loading and unloading the press.
