Lock-N-Load ® AP ™ Reloading Press
OVERVIEW
Your new Lock-N-Load ® Auto Progressive (AP) Reloading Press has been packaged to insure minimal vibration and damage during transportation.
Remove all the parts from the packing box (see page 2) and spread them out over a large flat surface . Refer to the Lock-N-Load ® AP ™ Reloading
Press parts list and exploded view on the previous pages and check to make sure all necessary parts are identified.
The manual provides step-by-step instructions and suggestions that make set-up and operation easy and understandable.
If at any time during operation you feel like you are forcing the press, stop and identify the problem. Do not force anything, or damage could occur.
Powders and primers are explosive if handled carelessly! Always work slowly and carefully without distractions and wear eye protection. Try to
avoid touching primers with oily fingers. The oil on your fingers may contaminate the primers and cause them to misfire.
Hand loading is very safe, but before reloading any
case please read the following warnings.
• Primers may explode if subjected to impact or heat.
• Keep away from the opening end of the Primer Tube at
all times.
• Variations may occur with different brands and condition of
cartridge cases, which can cause inconsistent primer and bullet
seating. Sort and inspect all of your cases before reloading.
• Verify your powder charges at frequent intervals to
insure consistency.
• Careless or improper hand loading techniques can result in
serious personal injury. Make sure there are no distractions while
you are reloading.
• Before operating this press, be sure you have read and
understand all the instructions contained in this manual, and
that you understand the principals of hand loading.
