SAFEGUARDING THE POINT OF OPERATION

ANSI B11.2 – Hydraulic Power Presses –
Safety Requirements for Construction, Care, and Use

It is important that Dake press users have a clear understanding of their responsibility involving the care and use of their Dake hydraulic press, including point-of-operation safe guards. Dake strongly recommends that Dake press users obtain a copy of the current American National Standard Institute (ANSI) B11.2 standard, for a more complete understanding of their responsibilities.
ANSI B11.2 states the following, relative to point of operation safeguarding: “Normally, only the employer (press user) can determine the requirements of the press productions system components, including the dies and methods for feeding. Therefore, the employer is ultimately responsible to designate and provide the point-of-operation safeguarding  system.”
The standard also discusses additional responsibilities of the employer. Some of the key responsibilities are:

• The employer is responsible for the safety, use, and care of the hydraulic power press production system.
• The employer is responsible to consider the sources of hazards for all tasks to be implemented on the hydraulic power press production system.
• The employer is required to eliminate, or control identified hazards in the scope of their work activity.
  The employer is responsible for the training of personnel, caring for, inspecting, maintaining, and operating hydraulic press production systems to ensure their competence.
• The employer is responsible to provide and ensure that point-of-operation safeguarding is used, checked, maintained, and where applicable, adjusted on every production operation performed on a press production system.

A complete and current copy of the ANSI B.11.2 standard can be obtained by contacting the following:

SPECIFICATIONS

In the space provided record the serial number and model number of the machine. This information is only found on the black and gold Dake tag shown below. If contacting  Dake this information must be provided to assist in identifying the specific machine.

SAFETY

This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your press be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Employer is responsible to perform a hazard/PPE assessment before work activity.

Label Placement View

Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices. It is important that the operator understand all safety instructions listed below in order to prevent damage to themselves, others, or the machine: 

• Carefully read all the safety messages in this manual and on your press safety labels.
  Keep safety labels in good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
• Do not alter this press from its original design.
• Do not make repairs or adjustments to any hydraulic system unless you are competent or working under competent supervision.
• Only use Dake’s original parts.
• This machine is intended to be operated by one person. This person should be conscious of the ram movement not only for themselves but also for persons in the immediate area of the machine.
• This press is not intended for pulling operations. Personal injury or machine damage can result.

SET UP

PRESS PLACEMENT

• The press needs to be placed so that it has a safety perimeter of 2-1/2 feet on all sides from any other objects or machines.
• The press should be placed on a level floor with base angles touching the floor at all points.
  Use shims where necessary.

FILLING THE PRESS WILL OIL
Fill the reservoir with DTE 24 Mobil hydraulic oil or equivalent.
a. 50DA holds 3 gallons of oil. Make sure the oil is new and be cautious no contaminants get in while filling the reservoir.
b. Oil should be changed about once a year.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: A licensed qualified electrician that follows all state and local laws must wire and install electrics on this press.

110 Volt
WARNING: The machine must have a designated 30 amp drop for 110 volts. This press will not operate correctly without 30 amps.
For 110 volts this machine is ready to the plugin. The machine can be wired 220-volt single phase. Always follow the wiring diagram provided in the mooring cover when converting to a 220-volt single phase. A cord and plug that is rated for a specific voltage and amperage must be used. This rating can be found on the motor.

220 Volt Single Phase
The press new is shipped out as a 110-volt machine. If wiring must be changed to suit a 220-volt single phase.

1. The leads on the motor must be changed to fit 220-volt, 17.2 amps, follow the diagram on the motor.
2. Install plug and wire that fits the rating on the motor, the plug and wire must be rated for the voltage and amperage listed on the motor.

OPERATION

BEFORE THE FIRST TIME OPERATION

1. Make sure the reservoir is filled with 3 gallons of Mobil DTE 24 hydraulic fluid or equivalent.
2. Turn the on/off power (toggle) switch to the “on” position (up).
3. Facing the press, push the control lever forward (right). (New Configuration 2022)
   a. Move the control lever down, this will advance the ram in the downward position. (Classic Configuration)
4. Release the control lever and the ram will stop all movement.
5. Pull the control lever towards you (left) to retract the ram. (New Configuration 2022)
   a. Move the control lever to the up position and the ram with a move up. (Classic Configuration)
6. When the press is new be sure to move the ram up and down to work out any air that may be in the system.

WARNING: When using the control lever in pressing operations or to return the ram stop applying pressure once the handle reaches its positive stop. Applying additional force on the lever does not increase ram speed and will lead to premature damage to the valve.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION 
Keep all working parts of the press well oiled for easier operation. Also, keep a light film of oil over the entire surface of the ram to prevent rust.

HYDRAULIC LINES AND FITTINGS – 2022 and later
If the press was manufactured in the year 2022 or later (Serial No. > WOD-7942), the power unit, valve, hose, and fittings will be of new configuration. Valve control handle left to right configuration.
