Handle Position; Operation; Maintenance; Lubrication - Laguna Tools DAKE 3 Instruction Manual

HANDLE POSITION

CAUTION: NEVER PULL THE PRESS HANDLE PAST THE HORIZONTAL POSITION!
To avoid personal injury and damaging the press only pull until the handle is horizontal, then
return the handle back up as far as it allows before bringing the handle back down. This ensures
that the pawl fully engages with the gear teeth to prevent tooth damage and gear slippage that
can cause harm to the machine and worker. Examples above show the ideal minimum and
maximum handle positions.

OPERATION

This press can be operated with simple or compound leverage. Simple leverage is used to exert
lighter pressures and compound leverage is used to exert heavier pressures.
For simple leverage: slide the short sliding pin (item 14) left to the furthest position, disengaging
the compound leverage pin.
For compound leverage: slide the long sliding pin (item 13) right to the furthest position,
disengaging the simple leverage pin.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

• Keep all working parts of the press well-oiled for easier operation.
• Keep a light film of oil over the entire surface of the ram to prevent rust.
