to lock the handle of the mechanical press! :icon20:

I consider myself a fairly 'robust' woman, but I think I pulled my shoulder locking that press down. Also my neck hurts....

It looks like it is at a 45 degree angle before locking.

Do I just chalk it up to 'things I didn't know until I did it'?

Nancy, I recently acquired a Seal 500TX that nearly lifted me off the ground trying to push that handle down and then nearly snapped my arms off when I lifted it back up. While I was in Vegas, I stopped by the Bienfang booth and they showed me all the "steps" to adjusting it. It's hard to explain it here, but if you call Wendy Harris at Bienfang 1-888-240-6021, I'm sure she can talk you through it.

I got home and did what she showed me and now I can push that handle down with one finger! Relief!!
 
Yeah

Val
I will call her first thing tomorrow......thank you so much

Glad to see you're feeling better.

Try adjusting the amount to filler or release boards you have in it.
