Claim:
Hydraulically driven pressing device comprising: pressing jaws; a cylinder attached to said pressing jaws, said cylinder having a wall defining an internal cavity and an external surface; a piston mounted in said internal cavity of said cylinder and extending from said cylinder, said piston being displaceable in a displacement direction such that said piston can be moved to a forward position and to a rearward position relative to said cylinder; means connected to said piston for acting on said pressing jaws; and an adjustable stop mounted on said external surface of said cylinder, said adjustable stop being moveable to a first position and to a second position along the displacement direction of the piston in order for different end positions of the piston to be reached during a return movement of the piston, wherein when said piston is moved to said rearward position during the return movement, said adjustable stop, when in either said first or second positions, arrests further return movement of said piston.
