Disclaimer and terms of use

Information only, not advice

Everything on this site is general information for educational purposes. It is not engineering, safety, legal or other professional advice.

Do not rely on this site alone to specify, buy, install, guard or maintain a press or a trim die, to decide which regulation or standard applies to your plant, or to set a safety distance. Follow the press and tooling makers' instructions, read the current text of the regulations and standards themselves, and ask a qualified engineer or safety professional as the question requires. Rules and standards change, so check the current version with the body that publishes it.

Check before you use it

The content may be incomplete, out of date or not suited to your press, your parts or your plant. Examples, drawings and photographs are illustrative only. Check the information yourself before relying on it.

Safety

Presses can crush and amputate. Never reach into the point of operation, never defeat a guard, light curtain or two-hand control, and lock out every energy source before working inside a press. Nothing on this site replaces training, the makers' instructions or the regulations that apply to you.

Quotes and suppliers

When you submit a quote request, it may be shared with suppliers able to fulfil it. Quotes come directly from those suppliers. Any product, recommendation or service is provided by the supplier who responds, and any agreement is solely between you and that supplier. Confirm specifications, suitability, pricing and terms directly with them.

No warranties

This site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator of this site is not liable for any loss, damage, injury or other claim arising from use of, or reliance on, this site, its content, or any supplier you are put in touch with.

Trademarks and third parties

Product and company names mentioned in general terms belong to their owners. References to agencies, standards bodies and third parties are for information only and are not endorsements.

Changes

We may update this page at any time. Continued use of the site means you accept the current version.
