Brief description of the press device

EN
6.1 Automatic press cycle (Fig. 1)
The press device features positive control. During pressing, the press device remains in the
position reached, even if button (1) is temporarily released.
For safety reasons, the positive control is only activated after a minimum force has been
attained. Until this force is achieved, the pressing process can be interrupted at any time by
releasing the button. The device then automatically returns to its initial position.
When the intended switch-off force is achieved, it is perceptible by means of an increase in the
motor speed and a discernible decrease in pressure. After releasing button (1), the device
returns to its initial position.
6.2 Release button (Fig. 1)
In the event of an emergency, release button (1) immediately. During pressing, the press device
remains in its current position. By pressing and holding the release button (2), the piston in the
press device returns to its initial position.

Commissioning and operation

7.1 Preparing the EPL202
CAUTION
Fingers risk being crushed if the device is operated without a press
jaw/adaptor jaw (Fig. 2)
If no press jaw/adaptor jaw is fitted, fingers could be placed in the at-risk zone.
Fingers could be crushed when the device is started.
Therefore:
– Do not operate the device without the press jaws.
– Keep your fingers away from the at-risk zone.
CAUTION
Not locking the retaining pin (3) fully can cause damage to the device.
(Fig. 3 to 5)
If the retaining pin is not fully inserted and locked, the cylinder can break during the
pressing operation.
Therefore:
– Press in retaining pin as far as it will go and turn 180° to the rear.
Information!
The press device is not suitable for continuous operation. Following 30
minutes of continuous operation, a short break of at least 15 minutes
must be taken to allow the device to cool down.
 Insert and lock the press jaw/adaptor jaw in the press device as shown in Figs. 3 to 5.
