This procedure assumes that you are thoroughly familiar with
this machine’s controls as described in the first part of this
section. If you are not familiar with these controls, STOP. Return
to the beginning of this section and review any controls you are
not thoroughly familiar with before continuing. If you have any
questions, contact your Haeger Representative.
Depending on the ambient shop temperature, you may need
to warm up your Haeger Hardware Insertion Machine before
beginning any operations. To do this, turn it on and let it run
for about ten minutes.
Getting started – Before you turn on the machine
1. Determine the installation force that you will need to properly install the hardware you are
going to insert. Refer to the technical specifications provided by the hardware
manufacturer for this insertion force.
2. Select the proper tools for this application and install them in the Upper and Lower Tool
Holders.
3. Have your Supervisor use their access code to set the Conducive/Non- Conductive mode to
the Non- Conductive position.
Setting the machine
1. Turn the Main Disconnect Switch to the On position.
2. Start the machine by pressing the On Switch. The green On light in the switch will turn on and the
motor will start.
3. Verify Run Mode is selected.
4. Adjust the Ram up travel control to about 50% up the scale.
5. Adjust the Force to the fastener/part required force specification.
Checking the up travel & insertion
1. Keep your hands away from the tooling area. Without positioning the hardware or work piece
for insertion, depress the Down Footswitch and complete one stroke of the machine.
Never leave your foot on or above the Down Footswitch after
you have completed a cycle of the machine. Remove it from
the Down Footswitch. Keep your feet away from the Down
Footswitch until your hands are clear of the tooling area.
