Edwards Ironworkers are designed to punch, shear and notch mild
steel plate, barstock and angle. A wide range of accessories are avail-
able to fabricate rod and square stock, sheet metal and pipe. Edwards
Ironworkers operate by applying hydraulic force to a moving center.
The center moves within a frame in a simple, vertical path and exerts
force through shear blades, punch and dies, notchers, brake dies
or bump-die tooling upon A36 mild steel. Edwards Ironworkers are
designed for single operator use only; unless otherwise identi ed with
a D.O./Dual Operator designation.
The following pages detail the proper operations procedures for
setting up and safely operating the standard and optional tooling
of your Edwards Ironworker.
Foreseeable Misuse
Do not use this equipment for any purpose not described in this
manual. Using this equipment in ways not described in this manual

Machine Life Cycle
Edwards Ironworkers are designed to be generally free from risk
throughout their life cycle from installation to dismantling and dis-
posal. Consult your local governmental agency for guidelines and pro-
cedures to ensure the safe disposal and recycling of system hydrau-
lics, electronics and metals.
Machine Operations
Lockout Power
Danger, circuits are live. Lockout / tagout upstream power source
before any maintenance activity is performed.
Shear / Crush Hazard
Moving parts can cut and crush. Keep hands clear when operating,
servicing and maintaining the Ironworker.
Hydraulic Fluid Hazard
Hydraulic hoses are under pressure. Pressurized uid can pierce
skin and cause severe injury. To avoid physical hazard, always wear
personal protective equipment when servicing / maintaining the
Ironworker.
Do Not Operate With Guard Removed
Physical barriers and guards have been designed and installed to
protect the operator from moving parts that can pinch, cut and
crush. If it is necessary to remove guarding when servicing the
Ironworker, immediately replace guards after service and prior to
power being restored to the machinery.
