Step 4: Raise the tube stop and install the flaring pin into the
main spindle head of the machine. Be sure to lower
the tube stop to its original position after inserting the
pin.
Step 5: Using the LB-2000 lubricant, adequately lubricate the
flaring pin as well as the inside diameter of the tube
end.
It is very important to lubricate the Flaring Pin
and Inside Diameter of the tube end prior to each
flaring operation.
Step 6: Insert the bottom half of the die set (either die half can
be used) into the die cavity of the machine using the
keyways on either side to secure the die.
Ensure that
the 37° Flare side of the die half is facing toward
the main spindle head of the machine (away from
the operator).
Step 7: Insert the top half of the die set into the die cavity on
top of the other half, also ensuring that the 37° Flare
side of the die half is facing toward the main spindle
head of the machine.
Step 8: Rotate the Tube Stop adjustment dial clockwise until
it cannot be adjusted any further (dial should read ap-
proximately 0150). At this point, the tube stop should be
in contact with the back side of the die set, but please
ensure it is not pressing against the die set too tightly,
as this can damage the machine. The aim is to line
up the tube end flush with the back side of the die set.
This process will be the same for every size and wall
thickness of tubing used.
Step 9: Rotate the Head Stop adjustment dial clockwise until
it cannot be adjusted any further (dial should read
approximately 0275 but it may be slightly higher or
lower). The aim is to get the head stop out of the way
of the spindle head travel, as it is not necessary for
the flaring process. This process will be the same for
every size and wall thickness of tubing used.
