The crimping machine is switched on by turning the supply disconnecting device. However, the motor won’t
run until the crimping- or retraction -push button is pressed. The motor stops automatically and the indicator
light starts flash, if the machine is not used in 6 seconds. The motor springs to life when the crimping- or
retraction -button is repressed.

Die chart
with crimping diameter range for each die set and corresponding dial adjustment
values is delivered together with the machine.
The main operating area of the machine is in front of the controls.
TEST RUN
Start the machine.
Set the crimping diameter dial to 0.0.
During the first crimping cycles air in the cylinders may make the piston/dies move irregularly and at high
speed. Cycle the press a few times till the motion becomes even.
To avoid accidents, make sure that there are no foreign objects between the dies.
In case the dies do not move in either direction, the motor rotates in wrong direction. Correct by
interchanging two phase conductors in the supply disconnecting device.
