General
Use the correct tools in good condition and replace or repair damaged equipment.Pressure air can cause personal injury. When using pressure air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing and protective shoes. The maximum air pressure must be below 205 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning purposes.Always wear protective glasses when using a hammer or similar tool to avoid injury to your eyes. Chips or other debris can fly off objects when they are struck. Make sure no one can be injured by flying debris before striking any object.The hose coupling press has the capability of producing 445 kN (50 Ton) of force. To avoid personal injury, use the established operating procedure in this Special Instruction.Press Operation
When operating the press, always wear safety glasses.Never stand directly in front, to the rear, or at either side of the press. Bad parts, or a wrong set-up, could cause parts to be thrown out of the press. Stand in areas marked with an "X".Always use the correct collets for the hose and coupling size. Improper sizing and installation of the collets, or improper use of the press, can cause the hose and/or fitting to be suddenly released and strike someone, causing personal injury.Knife And Anvil Cutting Method
