Product Usage Instructions
Assembly
-
Remove the packaging protection and keep the original packaging
for reuse in case of shipment to the seller. -
Connect the main power cable to the power supply. Note that the
EMI filter is inside the machine from September 2020.
Note: In case of shipment of the goods, it is
important to store and use the original packaging as received to
avoid extra costs due to transport damage.
Operating
Warning: It is forbidden to anneal complete
cartridges or primers in the shell. Using metal shell holders can
cause burns and damage. Please refer to the website www.shooting-
tech.com for more
information.
The optimal annealing performance, including time and magnetic
field settings, depends on various factors of the shell such as
manufacturer, size, dimensions, and brass alloy. The user needs to
conduct tests to find the optimal annealing result for different
types of shell cases.
Warning: For safety, do not keep your hand in
the shell holder during the annealing operation.
Shell Position
The user must set the correct working position of the shell,
where the lines of the magnetic field anneal the brass. Spacers are
provided to help find the correct shell position within the warm
protection coil.
The following diagram illustrates the shell position in the work
area:

INDUCTION AREA
ZERO LINE
The INDUCTION AREA has three zones:
GREEN ----------> Low induction power
YELLOW --------> Medium induction power - THIS IS THE RIGHT AREA TO DO THE NECK CARTRIDGE CASE ANNEALING
RED --------------> Strong induction powerPlease refer to the next page for a printed scheme on how to use
spacers. To select the right spacers, measure the dimension between
the zero line and the bottom shell holder plane (see picture). For
example, if the dimension is 35 mm, you can use multiple spacers
together. To ensure accuracy, please print the page in scale 1:1
without using the “Adjust to Fit” print option.

OPERATING It is forbidden to anneal complete cartridges or primer in the shell
: DANGER! Do not use shell holders metal made DANGER OF BURNS AND DAMAGE!

Put Main switch in ON position (light on) OFF when you stop with the
annealing operation The Knob “time” is to set time of annealing induction ( in
position nr. 8 maximum annealing time is 4 seconds) The Knob ” magnetic filed”
is to set the density of the magnetic lines force of the field. Pushing power
button “START” , the machine starts with the induction as the settings of the
knobs decided; the “working ” green led light is on when the machine is
working and turns offby itself when it is done.. “Alarm” red light is on only
for higher temperature of functioning ( the machine will stop by itself to
protect inner parts) and will be ready when the inner temperature of the
machine will be correct.
Time and magnetic field setting for optimal annealing performance depends from
many factors of the shell: manufacturer, size ,dimensions, brass alloy . User
has to try and find by itself after some tests the optimal annealing result
for all types of shell cases
WARNING: FOR SAFETY DO NOT KEEP THE HAND IN THE SHELL HOLDER DURING THE ANNEAL
OPERATION !

Please print the scheme in the next page. It shows you how to use spacer . TO
USE THE RIGHT SPACERS, READ THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE ZERO LINE AND THE BOTTOM
SHELL HODER PLANE (see the picture…..for example in this case the dimension is
35 mm. You can use more spacer together) To use this page, please print it in
scale 1:1, without use the `Adjust to Fit’ print option

ANNEALING PROCESS The brass annealing increases the metal’s ductility — a
technical term for “stretchability” or “softness”. If heat is applied to a
work hardened area of brass, the energy of that heat will cause the grain size
of the metal to grow. As this happens, the material loses strength (it gets
softer) and regains it’s tolerance for stretching without breaking. It’s a
fully reversible process When brass is bent, hammered, or shaped (plastic
deformations), it becomes harder and more brittle. This is what it happens to
a cartridge case when the neck is formed. The annealing process restores the
ductility of the case by reducing internal stresses in the brass, making it
easier to stretch under pressure rather than crack. The annealing process
depends on the material, the temperature applied, and the time that
temperature has to act on the metal. For cartridge brass, the transformation
is rapid, robust, and occurs at approximately 650-700 degrees Fahrenheit. If
you apply a higher temperature, the brass will get even softer, but not
dramatically so.
The above chart uses data for a 1 hour annealing time. Temperatures required
to anneal more quickly will be slightly higher (716-752° F). To find the
temperature of the shell after annealing operation , use the TEMPILAQ
Indicating Coating. For example add the Tempilaq in the shell as show below:
- To have 380-400° C (716 -752° F) in the neck 2) To check the temperature in
all the length 3) To check the temperature below the neck How do you tell how
hot the brass is? You can use a temperature indicator like Tempilaq. Tempilaq
is a special sort of “paint” that is designed to melt at a very specific
temperature. Get some and use it. Use some 450° F Tempilaq on the case body to
make sure it does not overheat, and use some 700° F Tempilaq on the neck to
make sure it reaches the required temperature.
