3.2) Set Crimper to Coil Size: See Fig. N.
3.2.1) The first step to setting your crimper is by determining how long of tail (1)
you need. There are two settings for the KF-50, 6-50MM and 15-50MM indicated
by the label (2), the difference is a short tail or long tail. The 6-50MM setting
creates a short tail for all sizes of coil. The 15-50MM setting creates long tail, but
for only 15-50MM coil.
3.2.2) See Fig. N. To switch between settings, loosen the Crimp Anvil Clamp
Knob (3) about a ¼ turn. Turn the Crimp Anvil Adjuster Knob (4) clock-wise
several times until the Crimp Anvil far tip (5) pulls back to clear the Coil Clamp
Wheel (6) as shown. Rotate the Crimp Knob (7) either direction 180 degrees, this
will carry the Coil Cut & Clamp Wheels (8) until they drop back into the detent
position 180 degrees from the start of your turn.
Tip: To change sizes quickly, PULL the Anvil Clamp Adjuster Knob OUT FULLY
(4) then quickly rotate the Crimp Handle to the next detent, release Anvil Clamp
Adjuster Knob.
Go to the next step.

3.2.3) See Fig. P next page. First note the Center Line of coil cutting (1); This
Center Line is at the bottom of the Coil Cut Wheel ‘Cutter’ (2) as shown. Turn the
Crimp Anvil Adjuster Knob (3) counter-clockwise until the space (4) between the
tip of the Crimp Anvil and the bottom of the Coil Cut Wheel ‘Cutter’ is slightly
smaller that the diameter of the coil filament to be crimped. TIGHTEN THE
CRIMP ANVIL LOCK KNOB TIGHTLY (5). Adjust the Front and Rear Coil Guides
(6) so that your coil is centered above the Cutting Center Line (1).
