Tool Setter Position

The Tool Setter Position provides a place to load and unload tools by hand. This may be required due to an automatic load or unload failure, or due to the presence of a manual tool. This is a tool that is unable to occupy a pocket in the magazine and must be loaded and unloaded by hand.

Any tool number that exceeds the number of pockets in your magazine will be treated as a manual tool.
