5.4 Regular use
Place the work piece on the table in alignment with the piston rod. If this is not possible, reposition the
cylinder and portal to achieve the best alignment.
Take caution when performing operation on elements that are likely to fly off, break (especially casting
element and hardened elements) or bounce up as a result of the applied force. In this case, a cover
must be installed around the work piece or the operator should stand at a safe distance.
After correct placement of the work piece, pressing force can be applied as described in the previous
chapters.
When pressing operations are finished:
Return the piston back to its outer upper position.
Position the cylinder back to the centre of the machine.
Turn off the hydraulic unit.
Clean the machine and working area.
Tip: working with the cylinder in the outer left or outer right position, will
shorten the durability of the press. Working in the centre of the press is
preferable.
Warning: always wear safety shoes, safety glasses, ear protection and
body fitting clothes to prevent injuries to any part of the body.
Note: upward movement of the piston is only allowed for returning the
piston to its start position. Any other use of the return stroke (e.g.
stretching) can result in broken parts and de-function of the press.
