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 (approxi-
mately 1/3 of the way), it will no longer need the
operator to keep it seated into the pusher. Con-
tinue the swage until the pusher meets the die.
Note: The spacer ring will enter the die.
