10. Keep moving. Once the hammer has started, keep the material moving between the dies
and within the area marked on the material. While you may go over an area several times
during the forming process, it is very unusual to hammer in one place for any length of time.
11. Keep working the material until it is formed as desired. This may be when it matches your
imagination or when it matches a form or template.
12. One of the most common tools used are the supplied Mini Thumbnail Shrink dies. Set the
most downward stroke to be equal to the material thickness.
13. Beading tools can be installed in the same fashion; but the tool clearance is more critical. It
must be slightly greater than the material thickness.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Before every use:
•
Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
•
Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
•
Check oil level in the lubricator, refill as needed with an SAE 10-weight non-detergent, non-
additive oil.
•
On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
•
Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
•
Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
Pneumatic Care
Start with clean and dry. Follow your compressor manufacturer’s instructions for proper
maintenance, filtering, and moisture control and removal.
Use a 10W pneumatic air tool oil in an oiler set at the lowest setting to provide enough oil to the
system to maintain good lubrication. Once started, do not allow the air system to run dry.
WARNING:
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by
qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
