'''Pin Removal'''
1. Place the plate you will be pressing the pin into on the top of table frame support blocks.
1. Place the plate with the installed pin on top of the table support plates. You will need to leave a gap between the plates for the pin to press though.
2. Set the dowel pin into the guide and make sure the table frame and support plates are high enough for the ram to be within an inch of the top of the pin.
2. Check the distance between the end of the pin to be pressed and the ram.
3. If you need to adjust the table frame height remove the safety clips from the pins supporting the table and remove the table plates and assembly pieces. The table plates are heavy so don't drop them.

10. Place table support plates and assembly pieces back onto the table.
10. Place table support plates and assembly pieces back onto the table.
11. Place the dowel pin into the guide and align the pin with the hole in the plate. Its good practice to keep the dowel pin centered on the ram so the force is centered.
11. Make sure the pressure relief handle has been turned clockwise to allow pressure to build.
12. Make sure the pressure relief handle has been turned clockwise to allow pressure to build.
12. Insert the pump handle into the handle socket.
13. Insert the pump handle into the handle socket.
13. Slowly cycle the handle while watching the force gauge and the pin. Make sure the pin is starting to move.
15. You will continue to press the pin until the pin is flush with the top of the material.
16. When the pin is flush it will stop moving and you will see the force increase on the gauge and this is a good time to stop cycling the handle.
17. At this point you will need another piece of material slightly smaller than the pin to assist in the final removal of the pin.
18. Using the guide will help keep the material straight while pushing on the dowel pin.
19. As the dowel pin approaches the bottom of plate get ready to catch it to prevent it from falling on the floor.
20. Turn the pressure relief handle counterclockwise to retract the ram.
21. Reset the space.
