6)
OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, AND MAKE SURE ALL GUARDS
AND COVER PLATES ARE IN PLACE.
7)
Make a sample clinch joint using the correct material.
8)
The joint should be too weak because the punch will be too high (not enough
"squeeze").
9)
Turn the punch adjuster screw clockwise (towards the “L”) 1/6th turn, lowering the
punch.
10)
Make a joint and check the joint strength.
11)
If the joint is still weak lower the punch by 1/6th turn and repeat the procedure.
12)
Once a good joint has been made the punch should be raised by 1/16th of a turn,
and the joint strength checked.
If the joint produced at this new setting is weaker that the original reset the
punch downward by 1/16th turn.
If the joint produced at this new setting is as strong as the original, raise the
punch by another 1/16th turn and repeat the process.
13)
If it is found that the punch tip extends below the stripper when adjusted correctly
then the die is set too low in the lower arm and the die will have to be raised.
14)
Tighten the locking set screw and replace the barrel cover.
15)
Replace the lexan guard.
16)
Re-adjust automatic return (if altered).
REMEMBER SET THE PUNCH TO THE HIGHEST SETTING THAT WILL
PRODUCE A GOOD JOINT.
