4. 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
authorised competent persons.
4.1 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
Turn off and disconnect the power.
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 and close the belt
cover.
Step 5
CAUTION:
Ensure that hand-crank is rotated
through one complete revolution (until it
physically stops). If the press is left partway
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.
