5. Safety Sticker
Included in this manual are several lists of safety precautions and suggestion. Your
employer may also have some additional safety rules. But, we would like to go beyond
the stark, demanding sometimes bothersome procedures outline herein to explain that
publication of safety information is absolutely useless unless you make it work. You mast
believe in working safety; you must understand the safety regulations and conduct
yourself accordingly. By thinking positively, you may discover additional ways of making
your job safer.
Operator negligence and lack of training have long been regarded as the major direct
causes of press injuries. If you have not been trained for the job to which you are
assigned, see your supervisor. Your supervisor is the person who knows the operation
you are to be doing. Make certain you know how to operate the equipment and how to
operate it safety. The employer is required by law to train press operators and
maintenance personnel.
Many press operators, especially those on incentive rates, place their hands into the die
area to (supposedly) increase their rate of production. Or, when hopping, some operator
might retain a hold on the unfinished end until it reaches a hazardous position, unless a
die guard is used. There are also those persons who may be inclined to reach into the
die area to check sharpness or condition of punches. And other operators might use their
hands, instead of a pick or special tools, to remove scrap material or a finished part
stuck in the die. The practice of placing hands into the die area, for any reason, is very
dangerous and could result in serious injury.
Operators should NEVER place their hands or any part of their bodies under the slide, or
within the die area, unless the main drive motor is turned off, the flywheel has stopped
turning, and the slide or die is blocked. Records show that some operators were injured
when they inadvertently placed their hands into the die area while leaning over to pick up
something. Or, they accidentally placed one of their hands into a danger area as they
paused briefly to talk to another person. Accidents sometimes occur when the operator is
distracted or when his mind is "a thousand miles away." The manner in which the injury
occurred could be one of many, but, it must be emphasized, virtually all press related
accidents would not have resulted in injuries if the operator's hands had never been
placed under the slide.
Always make certain that you are using the proper point of operation safeguarding before
performing any operation. Actually, with safeguard installed and the operator protected,
production rates are usually higher than when unprotected methods are used. The point
of operation safeguarding must, however, be appropriate for the tooling and the method
of operation.
Die setters should be quite knowledgeable about the adjustment and operation of
mechanical presses; therefore, it is difficult to explain why they are involved in many of
the press accidents. Investigations disclose, however, that a significant number of injuries
sustained by die setters resulted from the die setters themselves attempting to install or
remove dies, or to service dies within the point of operation, without first shutting off
power to the press and waiting for the flywheel to stop.
Unless the press is equipped with a flywheel brake(or brake equipped main drive motor)
and the brake is properly actuated, the flywheel will continue to coast long after power
to the drive motor has been turned off. And, as long as the flywheel is turning, it
contains kinetic energy which could create slide movement if the press clutch is
engaged. For this reason, no person should ever attempt to install, adjust, clean,
lubricate or service dies in a press - or remove die from it - while the flywheel is still
turning. Always check visually to make certain the flywheel has stopped and power is
off.
Proper dir setting and/or die setting procedures are somewhat dependent upon size and
configuration of the die. But, in any instance, when you as a die setter are working
within point of operation, or within the pinch point, it is you who must make certain the
flywheel is stopped and that the slide, or die, is blocked. also, when running sample
parts, die setters must use proper point of operation safe- guarding. They are ones
responsible for determining that the proper point of operation safeguard is installed and
that it is functional; furthermore -they must use it.
Care must also be taken when transporting dies. They should be fastened to the truck
before moving. At the press, make certain the die truck is chocked securely to prevent it
from moving away as the die is being transferred. It is also advisable when setting, to
have appropriate die handling tools that are in good condition, conveniently located near
the installation. in some instances, the die setter's truck is designed to include a place
for such tools so that no time will be wasted looking for them.
Press operators and die setters should remember that, no matter how long they have
been associated with the operation of power press equipment, years of service and
experience provide no immunity to accidents. The same is also true of job classification
or title. Cooperate with other employees to promote safe operating procedures, and
make a sustained personal effort to work safety from your very first moment on the job.
        WARNING
Press Operators
NEVER place   your hands or any part of
your body under the slide or within the
die area of the press.
Die Setters
NEVER attempt    to install, adjust, service
or remove dies without first shutting off
power to the press, waiting for the flywheel
to stop, and blocking the slide, or die,(or
positioning slide at dead bottom of stroke)
 7. Die Setting Procedure
 The total procedure for installing dies in a press comprises several distinct, yet related,
 steps. Those steps to be performed include: preparation of the press to receive the die;
 actual die installation; securing attachment of the die to the press: necessary adjustments
 of the press, die and auxiliary equipment; installation of a point of operation guard and/or
 safeguarding device appropriate for the operation to be performed. Press size, stroke
 length, speed and capacity must be suitable for the die that will be installed. If additional
 components such as die cushions, hopper are required, the press should be arranged for,
 and equipped with, these items.
 The actual procedure for setting and removing dies may vary slightly, depending upon
 press size and the type of operation to be performed. The steps outlined below are of a
 general nature and may be amended to suit a particular press and die combination;
 however, never should they be amended to the extent that the job is done unsafely.
 Observe all warnings.
 1. When installing dies, always observe the Die Setter's Safety Precautions included in
    this safety manual.
2. Before attempting to set dies, make certain that the main drive motor is turned off, the
   press electrical disconnect is locked out to the off position, the flywheel has stopped
   turning completely, and then install safety blocks. (If necessary, the slide may be
   positioned at bottom dead center of stroke in lieu of installing safety blocks.) Clean
   the die, bolster plate and slide face surfaces.
 3. Install all necessary bolster inserts, slide and bolster spacer plates, together with any
    auxiliary equipment that may be required to obtain proper working height for the die
    and material handling components.
 4. Make certain that the bolster plate is securely clamped to the press with bolts that are
    in good condition. Loose or broken bolts may allow the bolster to shift out of its
    correct position during press operation.
    A bolster plate that has shifted from its proper position can cause serious die damage
    and endanger the safety of the operator.
5. If die cushioning is required, pressurize the cushion and insert pressure pins in
  applicable bolster plate holes. Use only clean, straight pressure pins of equal length.
  Never use pins that are bent, mushroomed. or otherwise deformed. After inserting the
  pins, recheck location and exposed pin length. Plug all of the exposed pressure pin
  holes. Lower the die cushion to permit pins to drop below top surface of the bolster.
                                    WARNING
NEVER PRESSURIZE DIE CUSHION WITHOUT THE BOLSTER PLATE INS-
6. Remove safety blocks. Provide electrical power to the press control and then INCH or
   BAR the slide to bottom dead center of its stroke. If the drive motor was started in
   order to lower the slide, turn it off and lockout the press disconnect to the OFF
   position. Make certain the flywheel is not turning. Now measure overall height of the die
   and height of the opening in the press. Use the press micro shut height indicator if
   one is furnished. Adjust the slide to a position that will allow adequate working space
   for loading the die into the press. Install and use only dies that are safe. Dies that are
   worn or improperly sized can cause injuries to personnel and damage to the press.
                                      WARNING
NEVER INSTALL WORN OR DAMAGED DIES, INSTALL ONLY DIES THAT ARE
7. Place the die in position for loading into the press. Check top and bottom of the die
   for any slugs, metal particles or dirt that may have adhered. Make certain these areas
   are clean. Load the die into the press and set it in the desired location. Fasten the
   lower die shoe loosely.
8. Check alignment of openings in the die, if applicable, with related openings in the
   bolster plate before the die is clamped into position. If these openings are not
   properly aligned, stamping, scrap pieces or slugs may catch and pile up inside the
   die. This condition could cause the die to fracture and may result in possible injury to
   the operator due to flying die particles. Good lighting and a mirror can be quite
   helpful when checking alignment. Never use fingers to line up or locate holes.
9. If die cushion will be used, raise pressure pins by pressurizing the cushion. USE ONLY
   LOW PRESSURE. Check alignment of pressure pins with the die. If the die is not
   located properly, it may be lifted slightly by one or more of the pins; or, pin
   misalignment may prevent the cushion from expanding fully. If necessary, reposition the
   die slightly or use other safe, convenient means to assure correct alignment of
   pressure pins with the die.
                                     WARNING
IF DIE CUSHION PRESSURE IS EXCESSIVE DURING THE PIN ALIGNMENT
PRESSURE PAD.
10. Adjust the slide down until it nearly touches the top of the upper die. Then bolt the
    upper die shoe securely to the slide. If standard nuts are used, the bolt must be
    threaded fully through the nut. Use a single washer under every bolt head or standard
    nut - never stack washers. Use only bolts that are in good condition.
11. If storage straps are used between the upper and lower dies, they should now be
    removed and secured in their proper place either on the die or away from the press.
    All other die storage accessories, bolts and other unused components should be
    marked for identification and place in a storage area away from the press.
12. Bolt down or clamp the lower die shoe securely to the bolster. If bolts are used, they
    must be in good condition. If a clamping arrangement is used, the fulcrum block
    should be a single block which is the same height as the die shoe. Do not use shims
    or stacked washers for this application; however, commercial type adjustable height
    heel block, designed for this purpose, are acceptable. The clamping bolt must always
    be located nearer the die shoe than to the fulcrum block. Be sure to use enough
    clamps to keep the die in position.
13. Adjust the balance air pressure to properly balance the weight of the slide and upper
    die. For instructions on setting balance air pressure.
14. Make certain that no tools, bolt or other obstructions are left in the die area, slide
    flange or anywhere else on the press where they could fall and cause damage or an
    accident.
15. Restore electrical power to the press ad start the main drive motor and INCH the
    slide to the top of its stroke. If separator block, or other die storage components are
    used, shut off the main drive motor and lock out the electrical disconnect switch to
    the OFF position. Wait for the flywheel to stop turning - then install safety block.
    Remove the die storage or separator block, whichever are used, and place them in a
    storage area. After the die is cleared and ready for use, remove the safety blocks.
16. Adjust slide for the correct operating height and lock the adjustment. Adjustments
    relating to the depth of setting are vitally important because the safety of the operator
    is involved as well as stress on the press and tooling. Consequently, a slide that is
    set too low may cause damage to the press, or failure in the die-a condition that
    could also be hazardous to personnel.
                                      WARRING
                          DO NOT SET THE SLIDE TOO LOW.
17. Install point of operation safeguards and/or safeguarding devices. Make certain that
    the safeguard install is proper for the type of operation being performed and that is
    correctly installed and adjusted. Report any defect or malfunction of any safeguard or
    safety device to the proper supervisor for immediate correction. Adjust parts chutes, if
    used. Install tote pans or other material handling equipment in the proper location. If
    additional safety handling equipment or tools are required for a specific job, obtain
    the required items and have them placed in a convenient area for the operator's use.
18. Start the main drive motor and INCH the slide through at least one cycle. Then insert
    the material and run a few sample parts, preferably an INCH. Inspect the work pieces
    and further slide height adjustment if necessary. At this point, all changes in slide
    adjustment must be small with special care being taken not to set the slide
    adjustment mechanism is locked and that bolster bolts are tight before cycling the
    slide. Run several sample parts using the available modes of operation.
19. check the parts produced during the trial run to make certain that they meet
   production specifications. Marks on the parts may mean that slugs are accumulating.
   Large burrs on the parts can indicate that the punch or die block is dull, or that too
   much clearance exists between the punch and die. When inspecting drawn parts, look
   for cracked sections especially near the bottom radius. Cracks can develop because
   of improper lubrication, improper die clearances, improper die cushion pressure, hard
   stock, or a combination of these condition.
20. After all checks and adjustment have been made, observe operation of the machine
   for a sufficient period of time to determine that it is working correctly and safety.
   Keep the floor area around the press clean and free from obstructions.
2) Die Removal Procedure
 1. When removal dies, always observe the Die Setter's Safety Precautions included in this
    manual.
 2. After stopping slide in the stroke-up position, turn off the main drive motor set the
    stroking selector switch in the OFF mode. Wait for the flywheel to stop turning
    completely -then install the press safety blocks.
 3. Clean the die and thoroughly inspect it for possible damage, wear and general
   condition. If the die should require sharpening, servicing or repairs, make certain that it
   is routed to the die repair department immediately after removal from the press.
 4. If wooden separator blocks (or other type spacers) are to be inserted between the
    upper and lower parts of the die, for storage purposes, adjust the slide height upward
    at least 1.5 mm more than the thickness of the separator block. install the separator
    blocks as required.
5. Remove the safety blocks and return them to the proper storage area. INCH or BAR
   the slide down to the bottom of its stroke. If the main drive motor was started, turn it
   off and lock out the disconnect switch to the OFF position. Make certain the flywheel
   has stopped turning completely. Install die storage straps or clamps, if required. The
   slide height may have to be adjusted slightly for this operation.
 6. Unbolt the die, making sure that all bolts and clamps are removed. Adjust the slide up
    to a height that will permit adequate space for removal of the die from the press.
 7. Pull the die from the press and load it onto the die truck. Make certain the die truck
    is chocked securely to prevent it from moving away as the die is being transferred.
    Fasten die to the truck for safe transport. Be very careful when moving the die; move
    the die truck slowly and proceed over solid, level floors only. Route the die to a die
    storage area or die repair shop, depending upon the result of the inspection.
 8. If a die cushion was used, raise the cushion using low pressure only. Remove the
    pressure pins and then exhaust the cushion.
The following listed steps are intended as a guide as a guide for the user management. It
is hoped that, by pointing out definite areas of responsibility, the entire program of press
safety will receive the leadership and full participation so necessary from the top on down.
A press safety program works best when it has the vigorous backing of management -
where objectives are vividly spelled out, and each employee's responsibilities are clearly
defined. Management must spark such a program by constantly reviewing and evaluating
its effectiveness. Management must nourish such a program by keeping actively involved,
by constantly promoting safety amongst its own personnel, and by exchanging ideas with
others who have demonstrated interest in safety.
Press user management is responsible for meeting applicable safety requirements as set
forth by applicable safety standards. These regulations and standards may cover all
phases of power press usage from in installation through operation, safeguarding,
inspection, maintenance and modification.
(1) Press manufacturers cannot know what day to day use will be made of a press. in
    fact, it would be difficult to comprehend the magnitude of potential applications. It is
    the press user who determines which dies are going to be installed, the type of
    material to be used, the method of loading and unloading the work-pieces, and the
    type of point of operation guards or devices that will be user for the job. It is for this
    reason that, unless it was especially ordered based upon specifications known only to
    the buyer, point of operation safeguarding was usually not furnished as a part of an
    original press package. It is now required that the press manufacture or press system
    integrator provide the safeguarding as specified by the press user.
    Logically then, it becomes the responsibility of the user management to make certain
    that point of operation safeguarding is installed, and that it is appropriate for the
    operation being performed. All safeguarding       must be installed and tested before
    releasing the machine for production. After release, a continuing check for proper
    usage and effectiveness must be included as a part of the press safety program.
(2) Make certain that press operators, press maintenance personnel and their supervisors
    are properly trained. Remember that differences in language and educational
    background make it more difficult for some people to understand instructions. Follow
    through to be sure the employees know their jobs.
(3) Make certain that die setters are properly trained, and that they understand their
    responsibilities must include assuring the integrity of operation safeguarding before
    releasing the press for production operation.
(4) Set up a program of press inspections using an itemized checklist of points to be
    covered during the daily, weekly, and monthly inspections. Follow through to make
    certain the inspections are being performed correctly and at the specified time
    intervals.
 (5) Establish a definite preventive maintenance program with checklists for this press. Keep
     a historical record of the press maintenance work, repairs and adjustments.
(6) Set up a program to inspect safeguarding equipment. Make a checklist covering any
    point of operation safeguarding that is permanently installed on your equipment.
    Safeguarding should be inspected as specified. Also perform frequent evaluation
    checks during actual production runs. Correct any unsafe practices or conditions
    immediately.
 (7) Never allow persons under 18 years of age to operate or assist in the operation of a
     power press.
(9) Provide a clean, safe, uncluttered work area around each press.
(10) Provide adequate fire protection equipment throughout your entire plant. Be sure that
     all fire extinguishers are adequately charged, carry a valid inspection tag, are clearly
     marked and easily accessible.
(12) If a press malfunction is reported, stop the press immediately and have the problem
     corrected before resuming production.
(13) Provide personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, safety helmets, tongs,
     gloves, hand pads, spats and protective sleeves to suit the tasks being preformed at
     each work operation.
(14) Organize a company safety committee. Schedule periodic meetings to review and
     update all safety regulations.
(15) Establish a firm policy an pressroom safety regulations. Publish your objectives and
     describe each employee's responsibilities. Make certain all employees know,
     unmistakably, what is expected of them.
(16) Thoroughly investigate all accidents, "close calls," equipment misuse or employee
     neglect which could have resulted in an accident. Take immediate action to prevent a
     recurrence of the incident. Keep records of the investigation and of the corrective
     measures that were taken.
(17) Publish a list of names, addresses, and phone numbers of physicians, emergency
     rescue squad, fire department, and members of the organization who are to be called
     upon in the event of an accident or emergency.
(18) Make certain that all mechanical presses and associated equipment are properly
     connected to earth ground. Grounding should be in accordance with required
     electrical equipment standards and consistent with sound local practices.
(20) Never permit any changes to be made in the press control circuitry unless the
     changes are designed or reviewed by a recognized competent expert. In this regard,
     there are documented instances where field modifications have created hazardous
     conditions in press controls because of lack of recognition of the requirements for
     proper design. Shin sung, and may other control builders, are available for
     consultation. Unauthorized circuit changes could result in an accident or violation of
     national or state requirements.
(21) Cooperate and participate. Appoint a safety director who will arrange discussion
     group with key personnel in the plant. The group should fully analyze and review
     special guarding problems, accidents and the use of all company machinery. Then,
     step out and make a concerted effort to communicate with other companies and
     groups who have demonstrated an interest in safety. Only by active cooperation can
     we lean; not only from own experience, but by the experiences of others as well.
9. Press Operator's Safety Procedures
Each item listed below is related to the operator's safety. It is for his, or her, benefit that
these procedures be observed. The performance of mechanical and electrical repairs is
usually not the responsibility of the operator; however, it is the responsibility of the
operator to report to the proper persons any press, tooling, or auxiliary equipment that re-
quires attention. It is for the operator's own safety - once it has been determined that the
machine needs attention or is malfunctioning - that he immediately turn off the press and
discontinue operation until the equipment has been effectively repaired.
Some experienced press operators may also be asked to perform the duties of a die
setter. Where this is the case, the operator must be instructed in proper die setting
procedures. He should also read, understand and follow the rules listed in the "Die
Setter's Safety Precautions"
(1) NEVER place your hands or any part of your body under the slide or within the die
    area of the press.
(2) NEVER operate, service or adjust the press. or install die without proper instructions
    and without first reading and understanding the instructions in the press operator's
    manual. If you have not been trained for the job to witch you are assigned, see your
    supervisor.
(3) NEVER attempt to remove a workpiece or scrap from the die with your hands. If any
    material sticks in the die, stop the press and call your supervisor.
                         WARRING
               THE PRESS DRIVE MOTOR MUST BE
               TURNED OFF, FLYWHEEL STOPPED AND
               SAFETY BLOCK PROPERLY INSERTED
               BEFORE PROBING THE DIE(WITH TOOLS)
               TO RELEASE THE STUCK PART.
(4) Fingers are precious. Keep all them by keeping them clear of danger areas and pinch
    points.
(5) Before starting the press at the beginning of a shift, after die set-up, or after brake
    check the following items;
       * Make certain that all tools, ladders, and scaffolding used by maintenance
         crews have been removed.
       * Make certain that safety blocks have not been left between the dies or
         between slide and bolster.
       * Be sure that no tools, nuts, bolts, clamps and bars were left lying on the
         press. (Check die area, slide, bolster and overhead areas.)
       * Check slug chutes, feeding and ejection mechanisms for plugged, jammed
         or broken sections.
       * Check all control selector switches to make certain they are set for the
         desired mode of operation.
(6) Whenever the press has been inoperative or left unattended, even for a brief moment,
    the setting of all selector switches should be checked before starting the machine.
(7) At the beginning of each shift and after every break, stroke the press several times
    and observe carefully to be sure that the clutch/brake and controls are functioning
    properly. Also check for proper operation of other press parts, die and auxiliary
    equipment at this time.
(8) Check the clutch air pressure gauge and balance gauge(if included) for proper air
    pressure regulators as necessary for the particular production run. Refer to the
    operator's manual for instructions.
(9) Check slide height setting to be certain that the slide is not set too low for the dies
    in use at that time. Setting the slide too low will increase, considerably, the load
    applied to the press.
(10) Keep all point of operation safeguarding in place and in good condition.
(11) Safety tongs, vacuum lifters, pliers and other parts handling tools must be kept in
     good working order and must be used whenever manual loading or unloading of
     parts into and out of the die is required. Turn in worn or defective tools for
     replacements that are in good condition.
(12) When charging the setting of press controls for a different mode of operation, make
     certain the selector switches are set correctly - then test cycle the press to be sure
     it operates as expected. Locking type selector switches should be adjusted only by
     authorized persons.
(13) Never talk to another person while engaged in the operation of a press. If talking is
     necessary, stop the press and step aside until your conversation is completed.
(14) Report any questionable operation, unusual action, oil leaks, unsafe condition or
     improper maintenance of the press and its auxiliary equipment to the proper persons.
(15) Never reach over, under or around press guards and never try to beat, cheat or
     modify any point of operation safeguarding.
(16) Always exhaust air pressure from the die cushion, if used, before attempting to
     remove a jammed part from the die. Never try to remove a jammed part with your
     hands. Always use extracting tools.
(17) Never stand or sit on anything while operating a press that could cause you to fall,
     slip or stumble into the press or any auxiliary equipment.
(18) Clean the press daily and inspect carefully for loose, worn, broken or damaged
     parts. Also keep the area around the press clean and orderly.
(19) With the main drive and lubrication motors turned off, check sight gauges for
     sufficient lubricant level in reservoirs.
(20) Observe press operation for overloading. Accidental or intentional operation above
     the maximum rated tonnage will result in excessive wear and abuse of press and
     dies, and can also create a hazardous condition.
(21) Improper material handling methods cause accidents. Plan ahead and arrange a safe
     method of transferring materials. Use mechanical handling methods (instead of
     manual) whenever possible.
(22) NEVER stack parts on the bolster plate or near the die area of the press. Parts
     stacked too high could create a pinch point and the press or die could be seriously
     damaged if the parts are struck or fall into the die; or the parts could fall onto
     control buttons, or into the points of operation with resultant possible forcible
     projection during cycling.
(23) All scrap material should be placed in the containers provided. Never allow pieces of
     scrap to project over the sides of the container.
(24) Never allow tote pans(for small parts and slugs) to get too full; they become
     dangerously heavy and difficult to handle when overloaded.
(25) Never stack blanks or finished stamping so high that there is danger of them
     topping. Never stack parts in aisles and passageways.
(26) Never stand, walk or drive under a suspended load. Caution others to keep away
     from under the load.
(27) Shut off power to the press when it is not in use. Lock the control panel or
     disconnect switch in the OFF position to prevent unauthorized use of the press and
     unintentional start.
(28) Develop a sense of personal safety awareness. Observe all safety regulations. Be on
     the lookout for hazardous conditions and discuss the control of them with your
     supervisor.
10. Die setter's Safety Procedures
Die setting is a very important job - safety of the press, the tools and the operator is
involved. To properly prepare for this job, the Die Setter should have a good working
knowledge of presses, dies and materials. He should also have been instructed in the use
of die trucks and other types of handling equipment. He must remember the importance of
proper die adjustment - how, for example, the press will be subjected to increased shock
and loading simply because the punches of a blanking die are set too low. He must
understand too, how presses can be instantly damaged by coining large areas of metal
with the slide adjusted too low.
Aside from their technical knowledge, die setters must also develop a sense of personal
safety awareness. It is not only important that dies be installed correctly in the proper size
press, but also, the process must be accomplished in a safe manner. The job of setting
dies is not completed until die guards and/or point of operation safeguarding devices -
that are proper for the operation being performed - are correctly installed and tested.
The following precautions are offers as a guide in the development of safe die setting
procedures.
(1) NEVER place your hands or any part of your body under the slide or within the die
    area unless the main drive motor is turned OFF, the flywheel has stopped turning and
    the slide is blocked. check visually to make certain the flywheel has stopped.
(2) NEVER attempt to install, adjust or remove dies without proper instructions and without
    first reading and understanding the instructions in the press operator's manual. If you
    have not been trained for the job to which you are assigned, see your supervisor.
(3) NEVER install, adjust, clean, lubricate or service dies in a press - or remove dies
    from it - while the flywheel is in motion, drive motor ON, or the slide is in an
    unblocked position. (The slide may be positioned at bottom dead center of stroke in
    lieu of installing safety blocks.)
(4) Use a brush to bolster plate, slide face and dies before installing the dies. Never use
    compressed air to blow off foreign debris from these areas. Misalignment caused by
    dirt, chips of metal or other foreign materials could result in injury to the operator or
    damage to the press and dies. If die cushion is to be used, check pressure pin holes
    in the bolster plate to be sure there is no excessive clearance. If any burrs are found
    on the bolster plate surface, remove them with a flat file.
(5) NEVER pressurize a die cushion without the bolster plate installed and bolted down
    securely. Accordingly, before removing the bolster plate, ensure that all air has been
    exhausted from the die cushion if the press equipped with one.
(6) Have the right tools for the right job. Keep tools clean and good condition.
 (7) Clamp the bolster plate firmly to the press. Be sure the bolts are in good condition
     so that constant vibration will not allow the plate to move out of position.
 (8) The die setter should know the die's specified clearances and the adjustment,
     relationships and the importance of each of these clearances.
 (9) Never install worn or damaged dies. Use the proper press size for each die in order
     to prevent overloading.
(10) The die should cover at least 2/3(front to back and right to left) of the bolster area.
     Operating below this region results in concentrated loading which could result in
     damage to the press's bolster, slide and crank components.
(11) Prevent excessive snap through during a powered stroke by ensuring that proper
     punch, die alignment and penetration is set correctly and that the tooling is
     sharpened. Multiple punches should also have their depths staggered.
(12) After removal from the press, all dies should be securely fastened to the truck before
     moving.
(13) When a die set is being installed in a press, the stroke should be down, the drive
     motor shut off, flywheel stopped, and the slide adjustment positioned high enough to
     adequately clear the die set.
(14) When transferring dies from truck to the press, or from press to the truck, make
     certain the truck is chocked securely to prevent it from moving as the die is being
     transferred.
(15) If dies are clamped to the press, use enough clamps of the proper size to hold the
     dies firmly in position. The clamping bolt must always be nearer the die shoe than the
     fulcrum block.
(16) NEVER use your finger to locate or line up holes between the die and bolster. Use a
     drift, or sight visually.
(17) Know your die weights, All dies should have their upper die weights marked on them
     to assist in setting the balance air pressure setting.
(18) All eye-bolts used to pick up a die should be tightened against the shoulders and
     then removed after die installation. All eye-bolts should be examined for fractures,
     cross threads, grinded areas, etc., and if doubtful about their condition replace. Do
     not use studs or bolts for slinging or transporting dies.
(19) In securing the die, use only safety approved and properly size bolts, nuts, washers
     and clamps. The same or a greater number of bolts must be used on a die if the
     use of risers is required.
(20) remove and place the die safety block back to its storage location. All dummy plugs
     used for check out must be removed and the proper plugs re-inserted.
(21) After the dies are installed, perform all necessary adjustments before stroking the
     press. Be sure the slide height setting is correct and locked. If the press is equiped
     with slide air balance, reset the counterbalance air pressure to compensate for weight
     of the upper die.
(22) When working with another person or crew, be sure that all persons are clear of the
     press before inching or stroking the slide.
(23) Check the die area, slide, bolster and overhead area before cycling the press to be
     certain that no tools, nuts, bolts, clamps or bars were left during th die installation.
(24) Functional testing of the press control system should be performed before and after
     die installation for your safety and that of the operators.
(25) When running sample parts, use the point of operation safeguarding intended for the
     operator.
(26) Observe press operation for a sufficient length of time to determine that the press,
     die sufficient length of time to determine that the press, die and auxiliary equipment
     are working properly.
(27) Before releasing the press for production, replace all guards, covers and applicable
     safety devices for production of the operator, and assure their integrity for the
     operation.
(28) If manual loading or unloading of parts into and out of the die is required, make
     certain that the necessary tools are provided for the operator. The tools must be in
     good condition.
(29) Even though the main drive motor is turned off, never install dies or work under the
     slide if the press flywheel is still turning. Check visually to make certain the flywheel
     has stopped.
(30) When changing the setting on press controls for      a different mode of operation, make
     certain the selector switches are set correctly -   then teat cycle the press to be sure
     it operates as expected. If used, locking type      selector switches should be set by
     authorized persons only and the keys removed        after setting to prevent unauthorized
     change.
(31) Never actuate the clutch "ON" switch unless you are actually controlling motion of the
     flywheel with a "turnover bar"
(32) Install and adjust parts conveyors or chutes; locate tote pans and other material
     handling equipment as required. Make certain that all of this equipment is in good
     working order.
(33) Report any questionable operation, unusual reaction, oil leaks, unsafe condition or
     improper maintenance to the proper persons.
(34) Whenever the press has been inoperative or left unattended, even for a brief moment,
     the setting of all selector switches should be checked before starting the machine.
(35) Develop a sense of personal safety awareness. Observe all safety regulations. Be on
     the lookout for safety hazards and discuss control of them with your supervisor.
(36) Because you will be working with various kinds of tools around power press
     equipment, you, as a die setter, should also read and practice those item listed under
     "Safety Tips For Press Mechanics."
11. Press Inspector's and Maintainer's Safety Precautions
An effective press inspection and maintenance program, consistently administered, not only
helps to keep the equipment in good running order, but also helps the user to meet, or
exceed, production schedules, More importantly, when the equipment is operating
correctly, a safe working environment is presented.
As a press inspector or maintenance person, you are expected to perform those activities
outlined in the Press Inspection check list and Maintenance schedule. Those duties should
be performed in a safe manner for your protection and for the safety of others.
Maintenance work can, in itself, present a particular set of hazards. Therefore, it is
imperative (and also required by law) that you receive proper training, and demonstrate
competence in the duties of caring for, inspecting and maintaining power presses.
(1) NEVER operate, service or adjust the press without proper instructions and without
    first reading and understanding the instructions in the press service and operating
    manual. If you are not sure, check with your supervisor before proceeding.
(2) Always shut off all power (electrical, air etc..) to the press, place safety blocks
    between slide and bolster, and wait for the flywheel to stop turning before placing
    your hands or any parts of your body under the slide or within the die area.
(3) Always position the slide at the bottom of its stroke before attempting to disassemble
    the clutch. brake or any part of the press drive train.
(4) When disconnecting electrical power and/or air sources from the press, disconnect
    switch and air valve in the off position and attach WARRING tags to be sure that
    power or air cannot be restored without your knowledge.
(5) When disconnecting air and hydraulic pressure from the press, always attach
    WARRING tags to the appropriate shutoff valves and lock them out if appropriate.
    Also follow the press service manual instructions to be certain that all system
    charging pressure are relieved be fore disassembling any air or hydraulically actuated
    components.
(6) Make certain that all air and hydraulically actuated components are completely
    assembled and properly attached to the press before applying charging pressures.
(7) If the clutch air hose is replaced, make certain that the replacement hose is of the
    correct type and length so that it cannot twist or kink due to a slight turning torque
    applied by the air distributor whenever the clutch is engaged. If the clutch air hose
    becomes kinked, and air passage through it is restricted, the clutch cannot be
    immediately disengaged. This action could create a hazardous condition.
 (8) Always make certain that the clutch sir line lubricator is working properly and that the
     clutch and its solenoid air valve are receiving the prescribed amount of approved
     lubricant.
 (9) The clutch air line lubricator must NEVER be turned off completely. Check frequently
     to make certain that lubricant is being used.
(10) NEVER install an exhaust muffler on the clutch solenoid air valve that will restrict the
     flow of exhaust air. Never install a muffler that is smaller than the valve exhaust port
     pipe size.
(11) Make certain that all presses and associated equipment are properly connected to
     earth ground with electrical conductors sized to comply with recognized codes.
(12) NEVER remove safety blocks from one press to use in another. Proper safety block
     length is dependent upon stroke length and shut height of the press component and
     of the dies that are used in that press. Each press must have its own set of safety
     blocks.
(13) When working with another man or crew, be sure all persons are clear of the press
     before inching or cycling the slide.
(14) Order replacement signs for any WARRING signs that may have been damaged, lost
     or defaced. install new sings at the previous or recommended location on the press.
(15) Achieve a zero energy state of the press and its auxiliary equipment before performing
     any maintenance work.
(16) Never leave a machine with the power turned on, even for a short period of time.
     Lock controls in the OFF position to prevent unauthorized use and accidental starting.
(17) NEVER use your finger to locate or align holes between parts. Use a drift or sight
     visually.
(18) NEVER use compressed air to clean off press parts or dies, or to clean out holes of
     "T" slots.
(19) The press rotary limit switch is a vital element in the control system. Make certain the
     Limit switch and its driving mechanism are inspected regularly and maintained as
     recommended in the service manual.
(20) If the   press has sustained a serious jam, or a tooling wreck, the press and dies
     should   be thoroughly inspected for possible damage before permitting them to be
     placed   back into production. Never release a press for production that has fractured,
     broken    or damaged parts. Never install or use dies that have damaged or broken
    components.
(21) After repairs have been completed on the press, replace all safeguards and cover
     plates. Check for proper operation in each available operating mode - OFF, Tool set,
     inch, single stroke/set-up cycle and continuous. Also make certain that the point of
     operation guard and/or device is operating correctly. Never release a press for
     production operation until you are sure that it, and any auxiliary equipment, are
     performing correctly.
Federal regulations require competency of those persons caring for, inspecting, and
maintaining power presses. If you, as a press mechanic, have not been trained for the job
to witch you are assigned, see your supervisor. Your supervisor is the persons who knows
the job you are to be doing You must be trained to service all of the presses in you
assigned work area.
In the performance of your duties, you should regularly demonstrate a sense of personal
safety awareness. The "safety tips" presented in this section may be used as guidelines
for the promotion and development of safe work procedures. Note that they have been
grouped into several basic categories for convenience and quick recall; although for
maximum benefit, it is important that you read and understand all of the item listed. Then,
work accordingly and accomplish your job in a safe manner.
C. Transport & Install
1. Transport
  (1) When you use crain, please use 20mm diameter wire and shackles
  (2) Use wooden pad on the bottom of machine when you use folk lift truck
  (3) Do not lay down machine while transport
  (4) Do not use the roller
  (5) Pay attention for breakable parts on the machine while transport
2. Install
   Check oil balance, fill up oil when it is shortage. Important moving part is feed
by oil automatically. You may apply oil by manual hand gun on part which do not
feed automatically. Lubricant oil is very important for machine running. So please
clean all dust before feed oil. Check oil is automatically running. If you leave it
without oil running, it is main reason to break the machine parts.
