DS1000 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing a DS1000 Door Skinning Tool from Astro Pneumatic

tool Company. We are confident that you will be very pleased with this tool.

The DS1000 Door Skinner Tool is very straight forward and simple to operate,

however, spending a few minutes to read through these instructions and

tips could make you proficient in the use of the DS1000 much more quickly.

The DS1000 makes short work of crimping the door skin flanges of straight

or smoothly contoured door edges. It can be used successfully in areas as

short as 3 inches or infinitely longer. The DS1000 works by folding the door

skin flange over and pinching it tight between a hardened steel, reciprocating

crimping head and an adjustable nylon anvil pad. One pass is all that is normally

required once you have the nylon pad adjusted for the proper crimp thickness.

Preparation:

There are a few that must be done to make your job successful.

We start by assuming that the old door skin has been removed and the shell cleaned and prepared for

the new skin, adhesive applied and the shell and skin clamped together.

It is necessary to have the flange bent over to at least 80 degrees from horizontal. In other words the

flange should be hammered over somewhat all the way around the door skin.

It is also necessary to have the starting corners hammered down nearly tight. Starting the first inch or two

of the corners of the door by using a hammer and dolly to fold the flange down tight accomplishes two

things. First it keeps the door skin in place around the shell, and second it creates a place to engage the

DS1000 tool onto the skin flange. After you are finished hammering down the starting corners, use your

hammer and dolly to start folding the entire flange over to about 80 degrees. This does take a little time,

but it is worth the effort as you will soon see.

Operation:

Now you are ready to finish the crimp with the DS1000.

First make sure you have the nylon pad adjusted to obtain the crimp thickness to your liking.

This can only be done through trial and error. If you have any concerns about being too tight,

it is not a problem to fold the flange down loosely, and then make a second pass to pinch it tight.

We do recommend that the crimp be at least 90% tight on the first pass.

Slide the DS1000 onto the door skin in one of the starting areas. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU KEEP THE

TOOL STRAIGHT AND PARALLEL TO THE EDGE OF THE DOOR WHILE YOU ARE OPERATING IT.

If you operate the DS1000 tool at even a slight angle away from the edge of the door you will run the risk

of the reciprocating head catching on the uncrimped flange and deforming it.

It is also important to roll the DS1000 slightly counter-clockwise (looking at the air inlet) as you are

operating it so that the innermost edge of the nylon pad will not contact the exterior surface of the door

skin. It is unlikely that any damage will occur regardless, but a little finesse will assure you of a flawless

job.

Make sure you have the DS1000 connected to good clean shop air at 90 to 120 PSI. Start the DS1000

and push it slowly along the edge of the door to fold and crimp the flange down tight. It is not necessary to

push hard. After a short period you will get a feel for a comfortable feed rate.

The DS1000 is designed to be very maneuverable. It is capable of negotiating inside curves, outside

curves, concave and convex door edges, and many style lines. Flanges on body style features that are

too abrupt to be done with the DS1000 as well as sharp corners etc. will need to be folded over with a

hammer and dolly.

With a little practice, you will experience outstanding results both on the

exterior surfaces of the door and the inside flange, and save LOTS of time as well.
