Tooling Clearance Adjustment

1. Disconnect the machine from the air supply.
2. Install the desired tooling into the hammer head and anvil ram.
3. Pull forward on the quick release handle (A) to
lower the hammer head to the anvil.
4. Loosen the anvil lock nut (B) to allow the anvil ram
(C) to turn.
5. Remove the lower tool lock pin (D) to allow the
lower tool to rotate within the anvil ram.
6. Adjust the anvil ram (A) up or down until the gap
between the dies is the same as the material
thickness. Example: 16ga. = 0.059" (1.51mm)
thick, this should be the gap.
Note: For dies that have an interlocking
type profile, verify that the lower die is aligned with the
upper die when setting the clearance between the
dies. Failure to align the dies will damage the tooling.
7. Install the tool lock pin (D). Because the holes for
the anvil ram may not align with the tool hole, the
anvil ram must be turned to align the holes.
8. Rotate the anvil ram to increase to increase the
tool clearance until the first possible set of holes
will align with the tool and install the lock pin. If at
all possible, do not increase the gap to more than 2
times the material thickness.
9. Tighten the anvil lock nut (B).
10. Once the gap is set, use the release handle to open and close the hammer for easier
loading. Always lock the handle when the hammer is in use.

Air Setting

1. Connect the machine to the air supply.
2. Set the desired air pressure between 80-120PSI using the filter/regulator dial. A lower air
pressure will provide a softer hammer blow.
3. Adjust the oil flow using the dial at the top of the lubricator. A setting of 2 drips per minute is
sufficient for regular operation.
