TO CHANGE PRIMER SLIDES, TOOL HEADS AND PUNCH
Unhook tool head spring. Drive out taper pin that holds T casting at top, lift it and tool head
off. Remove stop pin in safety cam and swing clear. Loosen clamp screw in thrust nut, and
remove nut and plate from machine.
Unscrew primer slide angle lever screw (#50) enough to raise angle lever (#48) so primer
slide will come out. Remove primer punch nut with slotted screw driver. By punching down on
the plunger at left, primer punch will raise so you may grasp it with fingers or tweezers. After
changing primer punches cinch slotted nut securely.
Be sure to use large slide with large punch and small slide with small punch.
When you have put the shell plate back on the machine, screw thrust nut clear down on plate
and back off about

th. of a turn. Secure clamp screw in nut. Plate must turn freely but should
not have excessive up and down play.
NOTE: ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
To adjust primer slide bend the cam (that operates the angle
lever) either in or
out as necessary to cause the inner end of primer slide to just touch
the main column, without any strain on the angle lever, when the
handle is all the way down.
TO ADJUST PRIMERS IN SHELL
Should you like the primers to seat deeper in the shell, just lower the adjustable push rod at
the left of resizing die. This rod operates the lever in the base of the tool that seats the primer.
Should you try to operate the tool when the primer tube is empty, you may strain the primer
feed parts as the follower rod drops in the slide and locks it.
If primers show indication of going in shell crosswise or crooked, not special instructions for
adjusting primer carrier outlined by border. If this does not correct trouble, a new slide is needed.
CAUTIONS
DO NOT put powder in hopper unless you have a shell at that station to receive it as you
will charge powder on the plate and gum it up.
DO NOT leave powder in the hopper from day to day as it will cake and you will be
bothered with blanks. To remove powder, unscrew hopper and slip a card under it while you turn
it over. Dump back in your powder can. REMOVE ALL SHELLS and primer feed rods and
pump out balance of powder on piece of paper by working lever.
DO NOT use unusual force in any operation of the machine as there is possibility of igniting
a primer (should one become wedged) or injuring some delicate part of the machine.
