the new long handle mounting hole and the HD-7700 machine handle 
rod hole as shown. The new handle came with a pin partially set into 
the back side. Do not push this out.   

 

 
5.  Use a piece of masking tape or duct tape and place it on the side of 

the machine near the pin so as not to scratch your HD-7700 during 
pin replacement. Using your hammer, gently drive the new pin fully 
into the back of the new handle assembly until flush. This will push 
the Handle Remover Rod out. Discard the old pin and Handle 
Remover Rod. 

 

 
6.  The long die clamping handle replacement is complete.
