SEAMING OPERATION
To begin seaming with hand tool, set the hand tool on the seam making sure seam is in the
PHASE 1 Action
slot. Align the edge
of the hand tool with the end of the panel. Rotate the forming arm under the handle to produce 6” of
PHASE 1
seam. This should
be done three times along the seam for a total of 18”.
Return to the end of the panel to begin
PHASE 2 Action
. Set hand tool onto seam making sure seam is in the
PHASE 2 Action
slot. Align the edge of the hand tool with the edge of the panel. Rotate the forming arm under the handle to produce 6” of fin-
ished
PHASE 2
seam. This should be done once per rib.
The relationship of this 6” of finished seam to the 18” of crimped
seam is critical to the proper alignment of the rolls in the electric seamer.
The seam is now ready to accept the electric seamer.
CAUTION
It is critical that the panel seams are crimped and folded as shown before using the electric seamer. Failure to follow these
guidlines will result in damaged seams.
NOTE
All grease zerk fittings on the hand tool should be greased with lithium based grease daily.
