3.3) Crimp Knob final adjustment and Crimping.
3.3.1) See Fig. S. During this Adjustment Crimping Handle Shaft (1) should not
turn. It will stay in its current detent position. Adjust the Crimping Handle, press
your thumb against the Crimping Handle Adjustment Button (2) then pull and
rotate the Crimping Handle (3) until it is orientated as shown. Release the
Handle. Crimping requires rotating the Knob counter-clockwise. The orientation
of the Handle may be changed to the operator’s preference.

3.3.2) See Fig. T. Now that setup is complete production crimping may begin.
Simply load your book and crimp by pressing down (counter-clockwise) on the
Crimping Handle. Rotate your book around to crimp the opposite end. Refer
back to Fig. P as minor adjustments to the setup may be necessary if the crimp
isn’t just right. A perfect crimp will squeeze and stretch the filament (coil) into a
new filament memory for a permanent crimp (1). If the Crimping Anvil is adjusted
too closely to the Coil Cut Wheel it will tear-up and noticeably damage the coil
(2). If the Crimping Anvil is too far away from the Coil Cut Wheel, the crimp will
un-do and become un-crimped within a day (3).
