Specific Safety Rules
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.
