Manually Cycling the Press
Note
Hand cycling is necessary to confirm correct tool alignment, terminal feed adjustment, and also to give the setup
person the ability to step through the press cycle manually.
Steps
(Ref. Fig. 3)
1. Always power down the press by pressing the emergency stop button on the front control panel.
2. Release the clutch by inserting a screwdriver through the access hole to trip the locked actuator.
3. Insert the 10 mm hex wrench supplied with the press through the hole in the center of the rear cover and
engage it in the 12 mm S.H.C.S.
4. Rotate the press flywheel to move the ram as desired.
WARNING
When the actuator is disengaged, the ram is free to drop. Due to the weight of
the ram it is possible for the ram to start a downward movement.
Care must be taken to insure that the area in front of the press is clear of fingers
and hand tools.
The guards should be in place or the ram blocked.
Never insert anything through the press guards while the flywheel is in motion.
