This manual has been prepared to acquaint you with the operation and mainte-
nance procedures of your Lamina Hydraulic Die Separator. We urge you to read it

FOREWARD

Operating techniques outlined in this manual are basic. Skills and techniques develop as the operator
gains knowledge of the equipment.

Your safety and the safety of others depend upon care and judgement in the operation of this equip-
ment. A careful operator is good insurance against an accident.

Most accidents, no matter where they occur, are caused by someone’s failure to observe and follow
simple and fundamental rules or precautions. For this reason, most accidents can be avoided by
recognizing hazards and taking steps to avoid them before an accident occurs.

Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of any type of equipment, there are condi-
tions that cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with reasonable accessibility
and efficient operation.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read machine operating instructions.

2. Never start machine without complete understanding of it’s operation.

3. Make sure all safety guards and covers are in place before starting equipment.

4. Operate within rated machine capacity.

5. Set up maintenance procedures for care and cleaning of the machine.

6. Make sure equipment is turned off and power is disconnected to equipment before making adjustments.

7. Observe all common sense safety practices and keep alert at all times when operating the equipment.

8. Keep work area clean. Cluttered and slippery floors invite accidents.

9. Make sure switch is off before plugging in power cord to avoid accidental starting. Do not leave
operating equipment unattended.

10. Always make sure that components are in a safe and operable condition.

11. Damaged parts must be replaced with genuine Lamina replacement parts or parts that meet or
exceed quality and safety specifications of Lamina parts. If this procedure is not followed, a risk of
serious injury could be created.

12. WARNING–Always use safety blocks when reaching inside of dies.

13. WARNING–Failure to comply with any of these instructions can result in serious bodily injury.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND ACCESSORIES

The following are special features of the Lamina Die Separator. Lamina has designed this equipment to be
extra-heavy-duty while being extremely accurate to assure proper alignment when placing and replacing
punches in your dies. The portability of this new addition to the Lamina line of hydraulic equipment will
simplify a sometimes difficult and time consuming step in tool maintenance.

This fully portable Die Separator features a compact, low-profile cabinet that is easily wheeled from job to
job. The lifting bail will assist in placing the unit in even the most difficult locations. The retractable hose reels
help keep the unit neat and holds the hoses neatly and safely out of the way when the unit is not in use
preventing damage to the hoses. The pendant control also retracts.

The cylinders are sold separately and are available in three sizes that can be easily released from the hoses.

A cribbing block kit is available for use with the Die Separator. These cribbing block sets act as cylinder
extensions, increasing the stroke of the cylinder. These sets combine light weight with strength and stability
that eliminate the need for heavy, awkward and unsafe cribbing devices such as wood or steel blocks.

Disconnect Switch is located on

the rear side of the unit. Lifting Bails

• Do not pull pendant out past red mark on cord.
1. Push in Emergency-Stop Button. Plug power cord into
applicable electrical outlet. Turn Disconnect on. (Rear side
of unit.
2. Pull Emergency-Stop Button out. Press Start Button.
Check for proper motor rotation. (Clock wise)
3. Set cylinders on floor and pull desired length of hose off
reels making sure to engage latch into hose reel.
4. Place cylinders in safety pad area of the die. With the
Panel Selector Switch in the off position, press and hold
Green Button on Pendant and press UP. Cylinders will
slowly extend until they contact upper die shoe. Unit will
shift into high, raising the die in parallel. Use Up/Down
buttons on panel to raise and lower cylinders.
Note: When green light on selector switch is illuminated,
system is in parallel.
5. After completion of all operations, retract cylinders and
place cylinders assemblies back on storage shelves. Push
E-Stop and retract Pendant Control.
For Bound Dies
Turning the Panel Selector to on will lock system into
parallel. This will aid in the event that a die is bound or die
weight is under 2,600 pounds. The selector switch will stay
illuminated showing the system is locked in parallel.
Fully retract cylinders. Turn Selector Switch on. Cylinders
are locked into parallel allowing cylinders that contact the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, Continued
die first to raise that portion of the die. When all cylinders
are equal heights, the die shoes wil be parallel.
For Light-Weight Dies under 2,600
System can be used on light weight dies under 2,600 pounds
with equal safety pad areas.
1. Fully retract cylinders.
2. Turn Selector Switch on.
3. Extend cylinders raising and lowering die.
For use of one or two cylinders only
System can also be used if only one or more cylinders are
being used.
Leave unused cylinders out of die or connect the hose ends
together of cylinders not being used and turn Selector
Switch on.
If when raising and lowering and the die becomes unequal,
lower upper die shoe onto parallel blocks until cylinders
lose contact with the upper die. Extend cylinders to reunify
upper die shoe.
Notes:
An emergency stop button is also located on the pendant
control.
Both hands must be used on Pendant Control in order to
raise and lower cylinders.

MAINTENANCE

Frequency of replacement of hydraulic fluid and filters depends on how often the unit is in use, climate and
working conditions.

When servicing unit, drain and replace hydraulic oil with DTE-13 or with an equivalent 150 SSU/ISO 32
hydraulic oil

Remove and clean out cover. Remove and clean pump suction strainer.

Replace spin-on hydraulic filter.

Lubricate casters with a general purpose grease.

Periodic cleaning of entire unit and inspection of hose assemblies, quick couplers, hydraulic cylinders and
power cord for possible damage will help the user avoid delays and breakdowns.
