IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed these
markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage. Save all warnings
and instructions for future reference.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must
understand that common sense and caution are factors, which cannot be built
into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
1. Keep hands away from arbor plates and press pin during use.
2. Do not move workpiece while compressed.
3. Release load before service or maintenance.
4. Bolt to floor before use.
5. Keep area under arbor plates clear. If arbor plates rest on obstruction (i.e. bolt,
debris, etc.), it creates an uneven press, causing excess stress and possible
breakage.
6. Avoid off-center loads. Do not operate if workpiece tilts or binds during
compression.
7. STOP and release compression if you suspect imminent structural failure. If safe,
inspect thoroughly and reposition before proceeding.
8. Do not compress springs or other elastic objects. They could disengage
hazardously.
9. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, and steel-toe work
boots during set up and/or use.
10. Keep bystanders out of work area.
11. Do not stand directly in front of the press when loaded. Do not leave the press
unattended when loaded.
12. Do not operate the hydraulic jack beyond rated capacity.
13. Inspect before every use; do not use if parts are loose or damaged.
