The principle factors that can result in injury are:
1. Failure to center the work over the ram in the platen area, resulting in eccentric loading, tilting, and possible
movement of the work piece, which can then become a projectile;
2. Failure to level the top head of the press after it has been repositioned, which can produce the same results as
in Number One, above;
3. Fracture of a specimen or part of the apparatus due to overload, resulting in flying fragments;
4. Occasional squirting of liquid from a pressed specimen;
5. Operating the press with the safety shield door open.
