correctly oriented with regard to stationary die, and tighten setscrew on ram (see Figure 2).

to maintain proper mating of dies.

3.2. Die Removal

1. Loosen the lock screw in the top of the crimping head and remove the stationary die.

2. Advance the ram until the setscrew is visible. Loosen the setscrew and remove the moving die.
