Install the proper pusher onto the stem. (reference the
chart for proper pusher selection.)
Install spacer ring over threads of stem and rest on top
of ferrule.
“Jog” the ram by quickly depressing and releasing the
“on” button on the remote
control switch, (or by
depressing the foot pedal) until the ferrule enters the
opening of the die. Go slowly as the ferrule enters the
die, making sure that the end of the ferrule does not
contact the face of the die.
Make sure that the stem and ferrule are forced securely
against the pusher until the swaging process has begun.
To complete the swaging process, depress and hold
the “on” switch of the remote control unit (or depress
the foot pedal). Once the ferrule has entered the die
and starts to be reduced (approximately 1/3 of the
way), it will
no longer need the operator to keep
it seated into the pusher. Continue the swage until the
pusher meets the die.
Note: The spacer ring will enter the die.
