To ensure the tool will produce a reliable
compression, the tool must be properly adjusted.
CHECKING TOOL ADJUSTMENT
1. Insert die in place.
2. Lay tool on a fl at surface. Open handle A and
allow it to close under its own weight. The ram
should be touching the die.
3. Measure distance between handle grips. In
a properly adjusted tool, the distance should
be between 11” and 14”. If it is less than 11”
or more than 14”, the tool needs adjustment.
(See graphic below).
ADJUSTING TOOL
1. Loosen lockscrew.
2. To increase distance between handles, turn
adjusting screw clockwise.
3. To decrease distance between handles, turn
adjusting screw counterclockwise.
4. Tighten lock screw.
5. Recheck handle distance. Adjust again, if
necessary.
NOTE: Calibration verifi cation of the tool should be performed whenever damage or suspected damage has occurred or as
often as operating conditions warrant.
