INSTALLING THE DIE SET
QUICK CHANGE
(OPTION)
An optional QC Tool Base enables storing die sets under the machine. The whole die set can be installed
into the master dies with a quick change tool at one time.
Before installing dies, make sure that the master dies are clean.
OPEN THE SUPPLY DISCONNECTING DEVICE PRIOR TO CLEANING DIES.
Set the crimping diameter dial at 0.0 and open the dies to the maximum retraction.
Insert the pins of the tool into the die set in the die table, turn the tool clockwise and pull the whole set
out (Fig. 1, next page).
Hold the handle of the quick change tool as shown in figures 1 and 2, and make sure your hand will not
get between the dies.
Mount the die set between the master dies (Fig. 2) and start closing the dies.
TO AVOID DAMAGING MASTER DIES, MAKE SURE THAT ALL DIE SET PINS HIT IN
THEIR HOLES.
Close the master dies completely until the pins are locked in their places (Fig. 3). Remove the tool. The
dies are now ready for use (Fig. 4).
The die set is removed from the master dies in reverse order: close the dies, insert the tool into the die
set, open the master dies and place the set back in to the die table.
CHANGE OF A SINGLE DIE
Open the dies to the maximum retraction. Open the supply disconnecting device.
CAUTION! SUPPLY DISCONNECTING DEVICE
SHALL ALWAYS BE OPENED DURING THE
INSTALLATION OF THE DIES.
Prior to installing the dies, clean the contact surface of both
the die set and master dies properly to avoid damaging the
surfaces.
Pull the pull pin in the master die with the tool delivered
together with the machine (see figure).
Insert the die with the retaining pin into the master die, die
number always towards you. Release the pull pin.
After installing all the dies, make sure they are straight and
properly seated in the master dies.
