    							Okay, It’s Here; Now What?
    First of all, the Square Deal “B” is a remarkably simple
    machine and a little care and thought now while you’re
    setting it up will save you time and give you thousands of
    trouble free rounds.
    Mandatory Safety Measures
    Reloading ammunition involves the use of highly
    explosive primers and powder. Handling these materials is
    inherently dangerous. You should recognize this danger
    and take certain minimum precautions to lessen your
    exposure to injury.
    Never operate the machine without ear and eye
    protection on. Call our customer service department at (800)
    223-4570 for information on the wide variety of
    shooting/safety glasses and hearing protection that Dillon
    has to offer.
    • PAY ATTENTION: Load only when you can give your
    complete attention to the loading process. Don’t watch
    television or try to carry on a conversation and load at the
    same time. Watch the automatic systems operate and make
    sure they are functioning properly. If you are interrupted or
    must leave and come back to your loading, always inspect
    the cases at every station to insure that the proper operations
    have been accomplished.
    • SMOKING: Do not smoke while reloading or allow anyone
    else to smoke in your reloading area. Do not allow open
    flames in reloading area.
    •  SAFETY DEVICES: Do not remove any safety devices
    from your machine or modify your machine in any way.
    • LEAD WARNING: Be sure to have proper ventilation
    while handling lead components or when shooting lead
    bullets. Lead is known to cause birth defects, other
    reproductive harm and cancer. Wash your hands thoroughly
    after handling anything made of lead.
    • LOADS AND LENGTHS: Avoid maximum loads and
    pressures at all times. Use only recommended loads from
    manuals and information supplied by reliable component
    manufacturers and suppliers. Since Dillon Precision has no
    control over the components which may be used on their
    equipment, no responsibility is implied or assumed for
    results obtained through the use of any such components. 
    Seat bullets as close to maximum cartridge length as
    possible. Under some conditions, seating bullets excessively
    deep can raise pressures to unsafe levels. Refer to a reliable
    loading manual for overall length (OAL).
    • QUALITY CHECKS: Every 50-100 rounds, perform
    periodic quality control checks on the ammunition being
    produced. Check the amount of powder being dropped and
    primer supply.
    •  RELOADING AREA: Keep your components safely
    stored. Clear your work area of loose powder, primers and
    other flammables before loading.
    • COMPONENTS: Never have more than one type of
    powder in your reloading area at a time. The risk of a mix-up
    is too great. Keep powder containers closed.
    Be sure to inspect brass prior to reloading for flaws,
    cracks, splits or defects. Throw these cases away. 
    Keep components and ammunition out of reach of
    children.
    • BLACK POWDER: Do not use black powder or black
    powder substitutes in any Dillon powder measure. Loadingblack powder cartridges requires specialized loading
    equipment and techniques. Failure to do so can result in
    severe injury or death.
    •  PRIMERS: Never force primers. If they get stuck in the
    operation of the machine, disassemble it and gently remove
    the obstruction. 
    Never attempt to clear primers that are stuck in either the
    primer pickup tube or the primer magazine tube. Never,
    under any circumstances, insert any type of rod to attempt to
    force stuck primers out of these tubes. Trying to force
    primers out of the tube will cause the primers to explode
    causing serious injury or even death. 
    If primers get stuck in a primer magazine or pickup tube
    flood the tube with a penetrating oil (WD-40), throw the tube
    in the garbage and call us for a free replacement.
    Never attempt to deprime live primers – eventually one
    will go off. When it does it will detonate the others in the
    spent primer cup. Depriming live primers is the single most
    dangerous thing you can do in reloading and can cause
    grave injury or death.
    • LOADED AMMUNITION: Properly label all of your
    loaded ammunition (Date, Type of Bullet, Primer, Powder,
    Powder Charge, etc.).
    •  BE PATIENT: Our loading equipment is conservatively
    rated and you should have no trouble achieving the
    published rates with a smooth, steady hand. If something
    doesn’t seem right, stop, look and listen. If the problem or
    the solution isn’t obvious, call us. The reloading bench is no
    place to get into a hurry.
    We have done everything we know how to make your
    machine as safe as possible. We cannot, however, guarantee
    your complete safety. To minimize your risk, use common
    sense when reloading and follow these basic rules.
    •  REMEMBER: If your machine does not perform to your
    expectations, or if you are having technical difficulties, give
    us a call.
    Ready? Let’s Set Up
    Carefully remove your new Square Deal “B” from its
    packaging. Set the small parts aside. 
    Fig. 1 – Install the ejected cartridge chute bracket
    (#13659) with two large screws (#13976) from the parts
    bag.

    							Fig. 2 – Using the machine itself as a template,
    mark the three mounting holes. Allow about one
    foot on both sides of your Square Deal “B” for
    working room. Make sure your bench is sturdy and
    does not shake, as this may disturb your powder
    charge and primer system.
    Fig. 3 – Drill the mounting holes and secure the
    Square Deal “B” to your bench, using 1/4" bolts
    (not supplied). Fig. 4 – Install the return bracket (#13355)
    between the bottom of the shaft (#13437) and the
    spent primer chute (#13594). The spent primer cup
    (#13651) simply hooks on the bottom of the chute.
    Fig. 5 – Slide the cartridge collection box (#13756)
    onto the chute bracket (#13659) as shown.
    Fig. 6 – The locator buttons must be placed at
    Stations 2, 3 and 4 to prevent the cartridge from
    sliding off of the shellplate. The buttons can be
    removed to access the case at these stations.

    							Fig. 11 & 12 – Installation of the Powder Measure
    Failsafe System.To install the failsafe rod (#16814) remove the
    blue stripper wingnut (#13799), rod spring
    (#14033) and washer (#18086). (Note the order of
    parts.) See Fig. 11
    Insert the bottom end of the rod between the
    bench and the Square Deal “B” through the hole in
    the return bracket (#13355). Then, using your thumb
    and index finger of your right hand, move the lock-
    link (#17838) down to align the hole with the slot on
    the Powder Measure bellcrank (#17839). Next, insert
    the failsafe rod (#16814) through the two holes and
    insert the failsafe rod clip (#13840). 
    Install the washer (#14033) and the wingnut
    (#13799). With your left hand, move the operating
    handle (#20114) to the priming position; press the
    operating handle firmly forward and with your
    right hand adjust the wingnut until the spring is
    partially compressed. You are now ready to reload.
    Refer to the rear view in Fig. 11 to assist in the rod
    location and proper powder measure positioning.
    Check It Out
    Your assembly should now be complete, but
    before you stock it with powder and primers let’s
    run through the operation a few times. 
    Your Square Deal “B” has been adjusted at the
    factory in the caliber of your choice and we’ve
    enclosed the sample rounds that we used to obtain
    those adjustments. One cartridge has a bullet seated
    to illustrate the seating depth and the other round
    was primed (the primer is inert). 
    Place the cartridge case without the bullet in
    Station 1 and pump the operating handle. The
    primer will be pushed out and dropped into the
    spent primer cup (#13651). Continue to pump the
    handle and observe the advancement of the
    cartridge from station to station until it is ejected
    into the cartridge collection box. Now take a new
    primer and drop it (shiny side down) into the
    primer magazine (#13673). Operate the handle and
    the primer will appear at Station 2, press forward
    on the handle, pick up the primer with your
    fingers and put it back into the primer magazine.
    The forward pressure on the handle is important
    as it exerts the pressure necessary to seat the
    primer in a cartridge. 
    Reinsert the case in Station 1, drop the primer in
    the primer magazine and operate the handle. As the
    case is moved to Station 2 press forward firmly but
    gently and you will feel the primer being seated.
    Cycle the machine and eject the primed round. 
    IMPORTANT: Let’s do it again but this time do
    not put the primer in the magazine. Repeat the
    sequence using an unprimed case. Notice how the
    primer punch tends to stick in the cartridge when no
    primer is present. This is the feeling you get when
    your Square Deal “B” runs out of primers.
    Fig. 11
    Fig. 12

    							Now that you’ve seen the Square Deal “B”
    function, read the following description of what is
    happening at each station.
    Understanding the Machine
    Station 1:When a cartridge is fired, it expands.
    The carbide resizer returns it to factory dimensions.
    The primer decap pin knocks out the old primer and
    deposits it into the spent primer cup. 
    No adjustments are ever necessary at this station.
    Station 2:As you recall, when you press forward
    on the handle you will seat the primer, but that’s not
    all that’s happening here. As the cartridge goes up
    into the powder measure it encounters a powder
    funnel that slightly “bells” the mouth of the
    cartridge – this bell or flare enables you to start your
    bullet easier at Station 3. As the powder funnel is
    carried upward by the cartridge it will operate your
    automatic powder measure and dispense the
    amount of powder chosen. 
    Two adjustments are possible here. The amount
    of bell has been adjusted at the factory; however,
    you may increase or decrease the amount of bell by
    simply screwing the powder die into or out of the
    toolhead. (See Fig. 14.) 
    The second adjustment is the most important of
