I use my neighbor's Pro1000 from time to time as I only have single stage presses. Still, his gets quirky when I am not paying attention. For example, 98% of my problems came from SHORT STROKING the handle. All the way down and all the way up is key.

Another problem I had but never seem to fix is a seized black plastic thingy which indexes the plate to the next revolution. it siezes sometimes requireing @#$@# disasembly. time consuming. again, it seems this prob is reduced by not slamming the handle up and down too fast and making sure I do complete smooth strokes.

Hope that helps.
