Use shims when needed, but try to evenly spread them to both sides.

Use a wooden block and push with your hip if it wont go in.<br /> #If the wire won’t go in, try going a level higher than previous.<br /> #Do not wear gloves, other than nylon ones. Use a cloth to protect your hands from sharp parts. [[File:swager2.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Image {B} ]]<br /> <br /> ==Shutdown==<br /> #Pull the wire out of the machine and then press the stop switch.{B}<br /> #Remove the dies from the machine and place them back on the shelf.<br /> #Clean up your workspace.<br /> <br /> =Macbee Procedure=<br /> <br /> ==Startup==<br /> #Check over the machine for unsafe conditions.<br /> #Select the correct die from the die drawer.<br /> #Ensure proper lubricant has been used.<br /> #Place the die in the die holder. Run your swagered/pointed wire through the die and firmly place it into the wire grabber on the end of the chain.{D} If the chain does not reach the wire, jog the machine into place using the jog button and the left/right toggle switch. {C} [[File:swager3.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Image {C} ]]<br /> <br /> ==Operation==<br /> #Once the wire is firmly in place, start the machine at a slow speed and ease into a higher one.

[[File:swager4.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Image {D} ]]<br /> <br /> ==Shutdown==<br /> #When the wire is close to being fully drawn, slow the machine with the silver speed dial. {C}<br /> #When the wire comes fully through the die it will release a lot of tension. A loud noise will occur. The wire will uncoil a large amount. Stand behind the machine near the end of drawing!<br /> #Once the wire is fully through the die stop the machine, remove the die from the machine, clean it and place it back in the die drawer.<br /> #Clean up your workspace.</div>
