Drive wheel stop screw,
The drive wheel stop screw (12) will prevent the wheel from pressing to
hard on the mandrel. it is very important not to have too much pressure on
the mandrel when inserting the larger coils. If the leading edge of the coil
stops on a miss-aligned sheet, the coil wants to tie itself into a knot
between the book and the end of the mandrel. Setting the stop screw will
prevent this from happening most of the time. To set the stop screw , turn it
clockwise to push the wheel away from the mandrel. Load the coil onto the
mandrel and turn the stop screw counter clockwise while holding down on
the motor handle (10) until the drive wheel touches the coil. Try a few
books and readjust if necessary.
If the mandrel bracket is adjusted after the stop screw has been
adjusted, it will be necessary to readjust the stop screw
Cutting the coil
There are special cutter crimper pliers (ordered separately) that are used
to terminate the ends of the coil After the coil is cut, the sharp end of the
coil will tuck itself under the inside of the coil opening. To use the cutter,
make sure the red dot (13) is facing up. Place the cutter on the edge of
the right hand side of the book. Open the cutter enough so that the end of
the cutter enters the coil by about 1/4".Make sure the cutter is level
with the book before you cut. As you squeeze the cutters you may
notice the coil wants to twist. You ca n support the coil with your fingers as
you cut to help stabilize the coil. Turn the book over and repeat these
steps on the opposite end of the book. Always make sure to close
crimping cutters completely.
