WARNING/CAUTION PRIMERS AND POWDER • Store primers and powder beyond the reach of children and away from heat, dampness, open flames and electrical equipment. Avoid areas where static electricity is evident. • DO NOT use primers of unknown identity. • Dispose of unknown primers in accordance with applicable regulations. • Keep primers in the original factory container until ready to use. Return unused primers to the same factory packaging for safety and to preserve their identity.
INSTALLATION Mount the AmmoMaster-2 Press to a sturdy workbench or table with three bolts of sufficient length to penetrate the press base and bench. Install the threaded portion of the handle through the toggle block as shown in Photo 1. Attach the handle nut and tighten firmly. The handle nut must remain tight at all times to avoid damage to the handle and toggle block. To correctly position the primer catcher, snap it onto the rear post as shown in Photo 2.

MAINTENANCE This press was lubricated when assembled at the factory. However, it is necessary to lightly lubricate all moving parts from time to time with a light lubricant such as RCBS Press Lube. If rust spots appear, swab lightly with lube and wipe dry. Care should be taken not to apply lube where it could come in contact with primer pockets or primers. Oils and grease will deactivate primers. It is a good practice to clean the press prior to lubrication to remove grit and other residue.
