OPERATION
PRACTICE AND PATIENCE. A Reciprocating Hammer is a simple tool that is easy to start to
use however, it is the type of tool that requires experience to master.
When an operator keeps in mind a few safety considerations as noted in the front of the manual
they can create and form metal to almost any shape.
The best recommendation is to practice, take notes, experiment, and seek out advice through
technical colleges, individual mentoring with an experienced operator, and through online
forums and trade magazines.
1. Use a permanent marker to layout the design, pattern, or area on the material which will be
formed. This will be the area that is worked between the dies during the hammering
operation.
2. Install the desired tooling.
3. Set the required clearance between the dies for the material thickness to be processed.
4. Connect the machine to the air supply and set the air pressure.
5. Position the material between the dies in a comfortable and controlled position.
6. Pull the quick release handle forward to lower the hammer head to the operating position.
7. Position yourself and the material so that you can clearly see the area on the material that
the hammer will contact. This is important for controlling the amount of forming and area of
the forming of the material.
8. Using the foot pedal, slowly press down on the pedal to obtain the desired number of beats
per minute (BPM).
9. The max speed is 1000 BPM; you should only use max BPM if the stroke is set to the
minimum. Most forming applications will work at a lower speed rate.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper hearing and eye protection with side
shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
Keep hands and fingers clear of the dies.
When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported.
WARNING:
DO NOT run this machine with no material. The tools on this
machine should never directly come in contact with each other while hammering. If
they do, the tooling can shatter causing injury and machine damage.
