Installing the Press System
Without Machine Base
In this configuration, secure the flange to a rigid, level sta-
tionary structure. We recommend socket-head cap screws
M12 -1.75 with a minimum length of 40 mm for securing
the flange to the supporting structure. We recommend a
minimum of 1 inch (25.4 mm) full thread engagement of
the cap screws into the supporting structure. Depending
upon the thickness and material of the supporting structure,
longer screws and/or additional hardware may be required.
A full scale template is provided for locating and drilling
holes in the supporting structure. The template is Figure
3-20 on Page 35.

Press Height Adjustment

The height of the thruster on the column is adjustable. Ad-
justment is made by first turning the two handles located
on the left rear side of the press.
• To loosen the grip on the column, turn the handles
counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 3-15a. The
counterbalance spring on the column supports the
weight of the thruster while the handles are loose. If
a thruster is not installed, the unloaded column may
rise up unexpectedly, so be careful to avoid injury.
• Adjust the column to the desired height.
• Turn the handles clockwise, as shown in Figure 3-15b,
until tight.
• To rotate the handles out of the way without loosen-
ing or tightening, pull the handles outward, rotate and
release, as shown in Figure 3-16.
