5. OPERATION

WARNING

Disconnect the press from the power supply

before operating by hand. Operations by hand

whilst guards are removed must only be

performed by authorized competent persons.

5.1 Manual Operation

CAUTION

When using an applicator for the first time after fitting it in

the press, or whenever a die-part is replaced or the

applicator is adjusted, ensure that the press is manually

cycled at least one revolution. This is a very important

operation to ensure that the terminals are crimped

correctly and it also allows a degree of ‘feel’ through the

crank handle which prevents major tooling damage from

occurring if the die-parts have been installed incorrectly.

Step 1

Remove the cap head socket screws from the ram cover

using the hexagon key supplied with the tool-kit, and

open the belt cover.

Step 2

Manually operate the solenoid by pushing the clutch

lever in a downward direction until the clutch ‘clicks’.

Step 3

Place the hand-crank supplied in the press tool-kit on the

end of the main shaft and rotate in a counter-clockwise

direction to manually cycle the press through one

revolution. The ram moves up and down one stroke and

crimps the terminal.

Step 4

Remove the hand-crank, close the belt cover and

replace the cap head socket screw in the catch and

tighten with the hexagon key.

CAUTION Ensure that hand-crank is rotated through one complete revolution (until it physically stops).

If the press is left part-way through a cycle it will try to complete the cycle when the motor is turned on

and this action could result in damage being caused to the tooling.
