Manual

When you think you fully understand all of the operations you can arrange for reloading by
inserting the long brass tube (which is the primer magazine) into the brass ferrule at the right of
machine; be sure it seats to the bottom in ferrule. Use the short tube (there is one for each size
primer) for picking up the primers. After placing them in a flat bottom container, push the filler
tube don over the primers that are closed end up. When full, invert over primer magazine, pull
cotter pin and push primers out of the filler into the magazine. Place the rod GENTLY on top of
the primers. This helps them to feed, and be sure they are feeding by taking notice now and then
to see if the rod is lowering. DO NOT JAM the rod in the magazine as you may ignite primers.
After the first shell has passed the priming station, you can now fill the powder magazine,
and be sure the shell is under the powder spout before you pull the lever or you will drop powder
on the machine and gum it up.
When the shell is moved to the next station you use your left hand to place a bullet in
position over the shell, pull the lever down until the bullet enters the die, then remove fingers as
you bring the lever all the way down.
Some operators prefer to place the bullet in the case under the powder charger after the case
has been charged before indexing the plate.
Do not try to load too fast in the beginning, but be sure you are doing everything correctly.
After you have operated the machine for a short time you will find that you can place the bullet
without looking in that direction.
Be sure the loaded shell drops through each time or it will jam the machine the next time
you pull the lever.
Note: Rim shells are the only ones that will drop through the machine. Rimless shell must be
fingered out of the port at the safety cam.
Do not operate the safety cam with fingers from now on, let it operate automatically.
Be sure you shells are clean and use the same size primers. See instructions for changing
primer punch.
You are now handling explosives at your own risk and face all dangers in accord with them.
You must exercise extreme precaution and bear in mind that you are operating a powder charging
machine.
Every complete or nearly complete stroke of the lever throws a charge of powder. Be sure
you know what you are doing before pulling the lever. If in doubt, inspect the shell under the
powder spout by removing it.
If for any reason the machine fails to operate with usual pressure, DO NOT FORCE but
locate the cause.
CAUSES OF THE MACHINE JAMMING
When out of primers, the feed rod enters the carrier and locks shifting plate.
If you fail to punch out old primer a new one cannot enter.
If you try to put a large primer in small pocket.
If shell strikes the end of resizing die instead of entering.
