A set of V-Blocks comes standard on all PressPro models and are designed for the table of the PressPro.
They can be used in two ways:
1.
"V" FACING UP - This allows the work-piece to placed in the bottom of the "V".
2.
"V" FACING DOWN - This way the flat side is on top.
3.
There is a notch machined in in the ends of the blocks, both on the top and on the bottom, to help
hold the V-Blocks in place on the press table. See FIGURE 14 below.

Do not use maximum force when the piston is extended further than 3/4 of its length.
THIS CAN DAMAGE THE PISTON.
The machine is NOT designed for continuous operation at its maximum capacity:
•
The press can be used at its maximum tonnage rating for a total of two (2) cycles per minute, for a
maximum of 10 minutes.
•
Then the press then should be allowed to cool down.
•
Failure to observe the above limits will cause the press to overheat.
6.2 WORKING AT OR NEAR MAXIMUM CAPACITY
CAUTION: CONSTANTLY EXCEEDING THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL RESULT IN
OVERHEATING THE HYDRAULIC OIL AND OVERHEATING THE
HYDRAULIC UNIT. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE MACHINE BY CAUSING SEALS
TO FAIL AND CAN DEGRADE HYDRAULIC OIL. IN THE EXTREME, THE
OPERATOR MAY SUFFER BURNS.
