Facom W.410WB Notice D'instructions page 6

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
• Read these safety instructions carefully in addition to the instructions for use, operation and maintenance. Keep them in a
safe place for later consultation.
• This press has been designed for general bending, toughening, axis and bearing extraction work etc. Never use it for
applications that should not be performed by a press. Always use the appropriate tool for each specific task.
• Handle the press correctly and ensure that all parts and components are in good condition and that no parts are missing
prior to its use.
• The press should only be used by authorised persons, having read carefully and understood the contents of this manual
and the assembly instructions.
• Do not modify the press in any way.
• Non-compliance with these instructions may result in injury or damage to the user, the press or the piece being
• manipulated.
• The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the improper use of the press or the component handled.
• Noise level less than 70 dB(A) for pneumatic presses.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Never exceed the rated capacity of the press.
2. Do not exceed the hydraulic stroke indicated on the label and indicated by a red mark on the piston. (W.410WB &
W.415WB)
3. Keep unauthorised persons, particularly children, away from the work area.
4. Always position the press against a wall.
5. The work tables, and presses in general, are heavy elements which must be handled with care. In presses which are not
equipped with a winch, the user must request the help of other people to position the table in its work position and / or
whenever the working height needs to be altered. See (A) and (B).
6. Do not introduce hands or any other part of the body in the work area (C).
7. Always use ocular and facial protection.
8. Exposed personnel in the work zone are obligated to protect their feet, face and hands. Steel or other materials may
splinter or fall due to the strong pressure put on them by the press.
9. Never wear baggy clothes, ties, watches, rings, chains, etc. when using the press. Long hair should be tied up.
10. As a safety measure, the models equipped with an independent pump and cylinder have an overload valve, number (G),
set at its maximum working pressure at the factory. This valve should not be tampered with under any circumstances.
11. Only use W.PUNCHES.
ASSEMBLY, USE AND OPERATION
1. The press is delivered palletized or packaged. If using either a transpallet or a crane to move the structure, ensure that the
press is balanced to prevent tipping.
2. Unpackage and place the legs as shown in sketch F, remove the transportation blocks and then place the press on a firm,
regular and horizontal surface.
3. Ensure that the work area is sufficiently lit.
4. We recommend leaving at least enough space around the press so that the different storage and maintenance compartments
may be completely opened to accommodate material pieces of greatest size.
5. The press is stable enough to work without being anchored, but if located in an area of movement (cranes, wheelbarrows,
etc.) it is advisable to anchor it.
6. Only for models with pneumatic pump: Use a hose and fittings that are 12 mm (1/2") in diameter at minimum from the
compressed air source to the press. Couple the hose to the ¼ male gas connection, located on the back of the press.
An acceptable supply pressure oscillates between 7 and 10 BAR (100 psi to 145 psi).
7. Always place the 2 axles (4 axles for the 50 t model with fixed cylinder) in a position appropriate for the operation to be
performed.
VERY IMPORTANT: Ensure that the table is firmly resting on the axles. Especially for presses with a winch.
8. Screw the lever in the pump.
9. GENERAL OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION:
• Place the wedge on the press table, then attach the work piece on the wedge.
• Close the release valve by turning it to the right until it is firmly closed.
• Activate the pump until the piston approaches the piece.
• Align the piece and the piston so that the piece is properly centered.
• Activate the pump to apply pressure to the piece.
• When the work is finished, stop the pump and open the release valve by turning it to the left so as to remove the piece.
• Following use of the press, keep the piston, screw and the pump piston fully retracted.
