Tool Setup

1) Tool Alignment Place the alignment pins (D) in the holes of the bottom ram (C) keeping the threaded ends upwards. Place the top ram (B) on the alignment pins. Ensure that the outline of the press-fit seats in both rams are in congruity with each other (see X).
2) Ram Setup Lower the press (A) handle all the way down allowing the pin of the top ram into the press clamp hole. Secure the top ram in place by tightening screw as shown. Also, secure the bottom ram in place. Move the press handle up and down to check the alignment of the rams.
3) Final Step After ensuring the rams are aligned with respect to each other, open the press and remove the alignment pins. In the event, the pins are wedged in the bottom ram, use an M4 screw to screw into the upper end of the pin and pull the pin out by grabbing the screw. This will save the pin surface from getting damaged.
Caution! The operator must ensure to keep hands clear during press-fit tool setup!
