RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool - Manual (Page 4)

TO USE
The Universal Hand Priming Tool has been assembled and shipped with the
large primer feed in position. The small primer feed can be located in the parts
bag. Each primer feed is identified with an “L” or an “S” for large or small
primers. Also, the large and small primer feeds are each a different color. The
large primer feed is black and the small primer feed is white.
If large primers are to be used in the Universal Hand Priming Tool, the large
primer seat plug must be installed into the primer feed. To do this, follow these
simple steps:
Grip the priming tool in your hand and gently squeeze the handle completely
closed. Lock the set screw on the side of the body (Photo 1). Insert the large
primer seat plug into the primer plug tool and carefully thread into the Universal
Hand Priming Tool (Photo 2). Loosen the locking setscrew in the handle body.
Gently release the handle. You are now ready to seat large primers.

To change to small primers, slightly compress the handle to remove the safety
gate retaining screw (Photo 3). Remove the safety gate and slowly release the
handle to the open position (CAUTION: Do not let the handle “fly” without the
safety gate in position, the tool will open too far and the internal parts will need
to be realigned. This is a safety feature so the tool cannot be used without the
safety gate in place). Slide the large primer feed out of the tool. Grip the priming
tool in your hand and gently squeeze the handle completely closed. Lock the set
screw on the side of the body (Photo 1). Remove the large primer seat plug with
the primer plug tool and install the small primer seat plug. Loosen the locking
setscrew in the handle body. Allow the handle to once again go to the open
position. Install the small (white) primer feed with the vent hole in the side
towards the top of the tool (Photo 4). Compress the handle slightly and replace
the safety gate and attach the safety gate retaining screw. You are now ready to
seat small primers.
