Really!!

Be very very careful with that thing.

It probably cycles in about .2 second.
The little ones arent fast...they are sudden.

That speed makes them far more dangerous then larger presses with
longer cycle times.....which are still plenty dangerous if you don't
follow safety protocols at ALL TIMES.
