PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low volume
applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended–use, production operations is available.

1. INTRODUCTION
Manual Arbor Frame Assembly 91085–2, shown in
Figure 1, provides the necessary force to drive
various tooling assemblies (upper and lower tooling)
to be used for a specific purpose.
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in
millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are
not drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are
provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION
The arbor frame assembly features a bench–
mountable frame, handle, handle adjusting knob,
adjustment ring, ram, base plate, tool mount, and
base plate subassembly (slide base). The handle is
adjustable for storage.
3. SETUP AND OPERATION
1. Grasp the handle, and loosen the handle
adjustment knob sufficiently for the handle to slide.
FULLY extend the handle. Tighten the knob,
making sure that the screw enters the last hole in
the handle.
2. Secure the arbor frame assembly to a
workbench to ensure stability during operation.
Refer to Figure 2 for mounting hole dimensions.

3. Secure the appropriate upper tooling to the tool
mount according to the instructions packaged with
the upper tooling.
4. Remove the tool stop from the base plate
subassembly (slide base).
5. Secure the appropriate lower tooling to the base
plate according to the instructions packaged with
the lower tooling.
6. Re–install the tool stop onto the base plate
subassembly.
7. To actuate the ram, pull down on the handle
until the upper tooling bottoms on the lower tooling.
To retract the ram, raise the handle.
Before beginning production, make sure that the
ram height is properly set according to Paragraph
4.1 and, if desired, adjust the handle according to
Paragraph 4.2.
4. RAM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: The ram height should be set before
adjusting the handle.
4.1. Ram Height Adjustment
After installing the tooling assembly, it might be
necessary to adjust the height of the ram. Adjust the
ram height as follows:
1. Determine the closed ram height dimension
required for the application.
2. Measure the distance between the bottom
surface of the upper tooling and the upper surface
of the lower tooling. Determine the direction (UP or
DOWN) that the ram must be moved.
3. Loosen the setscrew on the adjustment ring,
turn the adjustment ring
clockwise
to increase ram
height, or
counterclockwise
to decrease ram
height, then tighten the setscrew. Continue making
adjustments until the proper closed ram height
dimension is attained.
4.2. Adjusting the Handle
To avoid personal injury when adjusting the
handle, STAY CLEAR OF THE HANDLE.
Depending on position, the weight of the ram
could force the handle to rotate quickly.
1. Using the tip of a small flat–blade screwdriver,
remove the plug button. Remove the socket head
cap screw and washer from the bore of the frame.
2. Grasp the adjustment ring, and pull the pinion
(small diameter gear in bore of frame) out of the
frame just enough to disengage it from the gear
teeth in the ram. Allow the ram to drop
slowly
until
the adjustment ring rests on the frame.
If the adjustment ring is NOT held in place when
the pinion is removed, the ram will drop and the
adjustment ring will slam onto the frame.
3. Rotate the handle to the desired position.
Ensure that the pinion rotates with the handle.
4. Push the pinion into the bore of the frame until it
engages the gear teeth in the ram.
5. Re–install the socket head cap screw and
washer. Re–install the plug button.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
5.1. Inspection
It is recommended that the arbor frame assembly be
inspected according to Figure 3 immediately upon
arrival at your facility (and at regularly scheduled
intervals thereafter) to ensure that it has not been
damaged during handling.
5.2. Lubrication
To prolong the useful life of the arbor frame assembly,
and to provide the smoothest operation, lubricate
monthly as follows:
Though recommendations call for lubrication at
least once a month, the frequency should be
based on amount of use, working conditions, and
established company policies.
1. Remove the two screws that secure the tool
mount to the ram. Remove the tool mount.
2. Remove the lower tooling.
3. Move the ram to the bottom of its stroke (the
adjustment ring should bottom on the base plate).
Note the position of the handle.
Loosen the handle
adjustment knob sufficiently for the handle to slide
from its mounting hole. Remove the handle.
4. Using a small flat–blade screwdriver, turn the
spring plunger (refer to Figure 3 for location)
counterclockwise
until it no longer contacts the
ram.
5. Grip the adjustment ring, and pull it upward,
then remove the ram.
6. Apply ANDEROL 757 lubricant, or equivalent,
to the gear teeth on the ram and to the bore of the
frame.
7. Re–assemble the ram into the bore with the
grooved side of ram aligned with the spring
plunger. Ensure that the gear teeth in the ram
engage the teeth of the pinion (small diameter gear
in bore of frame) so that the handle position will be
the same as noted in Step 2 when the adjustment
ring bottoms.
8. Turn the spring plunger
clockwise
until it
bottoms lightly on the ram, then back off one–half
of a turn.
9. Re–assemble the handle and upper tooling and
lower tooling. Ensure proper alignment of tooling
before operating the arbor frame assembly.

10. Remove any excess lubricant from the outer
surface of the frame and adjustment ring with a
soft cloth.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Customer–replaceable parts are listed in Figure 3.
