B. Crank handle assembly
C. Adjusting handle assembly
D. Wrench
E. Spacers, 2 each
F. Small turning die set
G. Ogee bead die set
H. Burring die set
I. Large turning die set
J. Wiring die set
K. Crimping die set
Machine should be installed on a level
surface, with proper lighting.
Machine is to be bench mounted. Be
sure to provide clearance for crank
arm rotation. Area around machine
should be clear of scraps, oil or dirt.
Apply a suitable non-skid material to
oor.
MOUNT BASE ASSEMBLY

suitable area on workbench. The
thickness of the mounting surface
cannot exceed 2”. Secure in position
using clamp handle (#4).
MOUNT ROTARY MACHINE TO BASE
Mount rotary machine body (#18) to
base (#1). Secure with hex head bolt
(#7).
MOUNT HANDLE TO MACHINE
Mount the crank assembly (#8-#12)
to the driving shaft (#53). Secure
with hex head bolt (#8). Mount the
adjusting handle assembly (#38-#40,
#60-#61) into top of body (#18).

1. Select the die set required for the
operation to be performed.
2. Place spacers (#50), dies and
retaining nuts (#52) onto the driving
and driven shafts (#53 and #47).
Tighten the retaining nuts with wrench
(#59).

workpiece by using the adjusting
handle (#60).
4. Adjust the horizontal position of the
upper die by rotating the adjusting nut
(#27).
5. Adjust the stop gauge (#10 and
#15) or the stop plate (#14) to the
required size. The required size is
the distance the form will be form the
edge of the metal. Use the stop gauge
for sheet and use the stop plate for
cylinders. The stop gauge can be
finely adjusted using the thumb nuts
(#13).
6. Insert metal between dies and
slowly rotate the crank arm (#9).
Check the workpiece. It may be
necessary to ne tune the adjustments
made in steps 3 and 4. Repact steps
