HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure the press is on a level, stable surface and, if possible, securely bolted to the ground for maximum stability during operation.
2. Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection (safety glasses or face shield) and heavy work gloves. Ensure the polycarbonate safety guard is correctly positioned.
3. Connect Air Supply: Connect an air compressor to the press, ensuring the air pressure is within the specified working range (110-125 PSI).
4. Adjust Bed Height: Use the heavy-duty cable winch system to raise or lower the press bed to the desired height, allowing sufficient clearance for your workpiece and tooling. Lock the bed securely in place.
5. Position Workpiece: Place the item to be pressed onto the press plates on the bed. Ensure it is stable and centered under the ram. Use appropriate tooling (such as the included pin and bearing adapters) as needed.
6. Position Press Head: If necessary, use the lateral head adjuster to slide the press head horizontally to precisely align the ram with the workpiece.
7. Initiate Pressing: Begin applying pressure using the dual air motor operation. Monitor the liquid-filled glycerin gauge to observe the pressing force being applied.
8. Monitor and Stop: Continuously monitor the workpiece and the gauge. Stop applying pressure once the desired outcome is achieved or if the maximum capacity is approached.
9. Release Pressure: Retract the ram by releasing the pressure.
10. Remove Workpiece: Safely remove the pressed item and any tooling from the press.
