EASY FOUR-STEP OPERATION

M O D E L 4 N A M E P L A T E D E T A I L P R E S S

Center the Nameplate on the table. Press the clamp handle down to slide the nameplate into a new position. Release the clamp handle to lock it in place. The clamp is fastened to a sliding rectangle (table gauge assembly), which is tightened by means of a small thumb screw. The entire table can be indexed by pressing the space button at the front of the unit.

CAUTION: When indexing the table, be sure to grasp the table lightly with your left hand; the table operates like a typewriter carriage and damage will result if it is allowed to slam against the limit screw.

Spin the character dial to select the desired number or letter.

Set marking depth by turning the depth adjustment screw. First, set depth until dial contacts the name-plate. Then remove the place and make another 1-1/2 counter clockwise turn to indent the plate. Turning the screw clockwise makes the impression shallower.

Move operating handle forward �rmly to make impressions. If the mark is not deep enough, adjust the depth setting. The handle will return to its original position, which automatically indexes the table one notch to the left, placing the nameplate in position for the next character. Move the handle forward to backward halfway to leave a blank space or a space between words.

CAUTION: Forcing the operating handle down or back will cause damage to the machine.

Operating Flexibility. Your SCHMIDT Nameplate detail press can be operated efficiently by pulling the operating handle down from a sitting position or by pushing the operating handle down from a standing position. Just remember to bring the operating handle to the neutral position - and not beyond.

To set the plate for stamping a new line of another panel, simply move the table gauge forward or back to center the locating pointer. For added �exibility, the table gauge can be placed on the right edge of the table. The clamp is then in front of the dial and plates are gripped at the bottom, allowing the machine to stamp at the extreme top edge. With the gauge in this position, the throat capacity is also increased to 4.5 inches.

CHANGING THE MARKING DIAL:1. Remove screw in the center of the dial and take o� dial, knob andpointer. Place new dial and pointer in position and tighten into placewith retaining screw.

2. Slide table to extreme right and remove table limit screw. Returntable to left to expose spacing mechanism. Remove escapement wheeland replace with one that matches correct dial size. Replace the limitscrew.

3. Return table to marking position.
