SPECIFIC PRODUCT WARNINGS Do not operate the Shop Press beyond rated capacity of 20 Tons (40,000 lb.) Warning! If you detect anything that may indicate imminent structural failure of the Shop Press, discontinue use immediately. Do not install this equipment on any asphalt, wooden, soft or tiled surface. Make sure the Shop Press is firmly secured to a dry, oil/grease free, flat, level concrete surface capable of supporting the combined weight of the Shop Press, the workpiece being pressed, and any additional tools and equipment. Do not install the Shop Press on expansion seams or on cracked, defective concrete. 4. Maintain a safe work environment. Do not use the Shop Press near wet areas and do not expose to moisture. Make sure there is adequate surrounding work space. Do not operate in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. 5. Read and understand all instructions and safety precautions in the manufacturer s manual for the workpiece you are pressing, when applicable. Always use the manufacturer s recommended pressing points, minimum/maximum pressing force required, etc. for the workpiece you are pressing. 6. Avoid off-center loads. If the Jack Plate (2) seems unusually hard to press, immediately stop the operation. Adjust the workpiece to eliminate or diminish an off-center load. Do not operate the Shop Press if the workpiece tilts or binds during the down movement of the Pressure Head Assembly Prior to lowering the Jack Plate (2) remove tool trays, stands, and all other tools and equipment from the Press Apron (5). Always keep hands, fingers, and feet away from the Jack Plate (2) and Press Apron (5) during the pressing process. Make sure the Jack Plate(s) are in good condition before use. Never attempt to remove a workpiece stuck in the moving parts of the Shop Press. Unscrew the Release Valve and, only after returning the Jack Ram to its neutral position, should you attempt to remove the workpiece. Page 4

5 The workpiece must be supported and controlled at all times during operation. Use a roller stand (not provided) with a larger workpiece. Whenever possible, secure the workpiece with clamps (not provided). Once contact between the pressure head and workpiece has been made, step away as far as possible and continue to slowly apply pressure until the procedure is complete. 12. Never leave a compressed workpiece unattended. When a workpiece is compressed, there is a large degree of force that has been stored in the workpiece, which must be controlled until the pressure from the Head Assembly is released Before performing service or maintenance release the load from the Shop Press.
