Adjusting the tool for decapping jaws
Probably, the factory settings are satisfactory and it won‘t be necessary to adjust the decapping jaws.
If the caps are not removed sufficiently, the decapper jaws can be adjusted as follows:
The 11mm decapping jaws should close around the neck of the vial and strip the cap off. If the cap
is not removed completely, increase the strength of the decapper stepwise by pushing the button
until the cap is removed completely.
The 20mm decapper jaw set pinches the sides of the cap with the decapping jaws and pushes out the
glass vial. If the cap is not removed completely, increase the strength of the decapper stepwise until
the cap is removed completely.
Note
: Always use a new vial to check the decapping adjustment and be careful: if the decapping jaws
are adjusted to be too tight, the vial neck may break and cause injuries. Decrease the decapping force
by pushing the minus button.
20mm caps with very thin seals cannot be removed with the 20mm decapper jaw set.
Saving multiple programs for a jaw set
If you use more than one type of cap and seal of the same size, you may decide to store multiple
settings. To do this, hold the and buttons down together for two seconds, until the current
program number is displayed. Then use the and buttons to scroll through the programs
(Pr1 - Pr9).
Programs displaying "- - -“ are not in use. After choosing a program, press the go-button to select it.
The program setting can be adjusted at that point. To remove a program use the button until "- -
-“ is displayed. (Hold a button to scroll rapidly.)

Unless multiple
programs are in use they will
not appear on the display.
