1.Maintenance: One of the best ways of avoiding potential failure and injury is through preventative machine maintenance. Hydraulic presses are consistently under a lot of stress from high pressure, high temperatures and natural wear. Over time and with heavy use, parts and fluids require regular cleaning and replacement.

2.Inspection: Give your machines a thorough inspection on a regular basis. You'll want to check any hoses and seals for damage, fittings for cracks and tight fit, fluids for dirt or degradation, and the general body of the machine for any cracks. Pay close attention to any excessive vibrations or strange noises when the machine is running, as they may indicate a need for urgent repair.

3.Cleanliness: Keeping your hydraulics adequately lubricated and the surrounding area clean is essential not only for the machine to operate correctly but also for the safety of those using it. Lubrication is necessary for a clean stroke, reduced friction and smooth user experience. Clutter, dirt and slick oil can create dangerous circumstances. Make sure there is no potential for slipping or catching clothing on discarded materials.

4.Training: Any worker using a hydraulic press machine should be knowledgeable in all areas of operation to take proper safety precautions, including how to identify problems and maintain overall safety. Using a press is a specialized job, and knowing how to safely operate a hydraulic press takes experience and skill. Undertrained users have a much higher risk of injury than those who received proper training.
