Instructions for
Power Case Prep Tools:
Check to make sure the power cord is NOT plugged in and
screw Chamfer Tool, Deburring Tool, small and large Primer
Pocket Cleaners, Case Neck Brushes and optional Flash Hole
Deburring Tool and/or Primer Pocket Reamer into the threaded
sockets. You can arrange the various case prep tools in any
manner that suits your wishes.
Plug in the power cord and turn on the motor by pressing the
switch on the back of the machine. Sit or stand directly in
front of the Hornady Lock-N-Load
® Power Case Prep Center so
you are not working at an angle.
Use the Primer Pocket Cleaner Heads and the Case Neck
Brush to remove accumulated carbon deposits and powder
residue from your cases after every reloading cycle. These
tools are simple to use but we feel it would be helpful to cover
some basic techniques.
To use the Primer Pocket Cleaner Head, grasp a fired case
and guide the primer pocket to the small or large cleaner
head. Use small head for small rifle calibers, e.g. .223
Remington and large head for large rifle calibers, e.g. .243
Winchester. Apply light pressure for approximately five
seconds or until carbon deposits are removed from the primer
pocket. When you are satisfied with the condition of the
primer pocket use the wire brush to remove powder residue
from the case neck. If your cases require trimming then you
will need to use the Chamfer and Deburring Tools. These tools
are easy to use but we feel it would be helpful to cover the
basic techniques.
Grasp a trimmed case and slowly guide the case mouth on to
the point of Chamfer Tool with light pressure. Hold the case
on the Chamfer Tool for approximately five seconds or until
the tool produces a very small bevel on the inner surface of
the case mouth. This will make bullet seating easier.
When you are satisfied with the bevel on the case mouth
remove the burr from the outer surface of the case neck by
guiding the case mouth to the spindle of the Deburring Tool.
Apply light pressure and hold case on the Deburring Tool for
approximately five seconds or until the burrs are removed
from the outer surface of the case neck.
