Maintenance Tips

• Keep It Clean – Remove dust, debris, and metal shavings regularly to maintain smooth operation.
• Lubricate Moving Parts – Apply light machine oil to the ram, gears, and pivot points to reduce friction and wear.
• Check Ram Alignment – Ensure the ram moves straight and smoothly without excessive play; adjust if needed.
• Inspect & Tighten Fasteners – Periodically check bolts and screws to prevent loosening from vibration.
• Monitor the Base & Anvil – Keep the base and anvil clean and level for accurate pressing.
• Avoid Overloading – Do not exceed the 2-ton capacity to prevent stress and damage to components.
• Prevent Rust – Store in a dry environment and apply a thin coat of oil to exposed metal surfaces.
• Use the Right Tooling – Ensure correct dies and press tools are used to optimize performance and minimize wear.
• Operate the Lever Properly – Apply steady pressure rather than abrupt force to extend tool life.
• Follow Safety Measures – Wear safety goggles and gloves, and secure workpieces before pressing.
