Rhin-O-Tuff HD8000 - Manual (Page 9)

HC8024 Wire closer is 24” long, has two closing halndles for ease of use and has an extendable table
to help support larger format applications.
Setup of the HC8024 for closing wire follows the same instructions as the HD8000.
If you wish to mount your HD-8000 to your punch machine as shown in the manual, you will
need to order Kit “MK-4000” for the 4000 Plus and OD-4012. Or Kit “MK-7000” for the HD-6500, HD-
7000 and the HD-7700. Contact your dealer to purchase these kits.
The first thing you will notice after you have unboxed your HD-8000 is a package of threaded
rubber feet. These are for use with the HD-8000 in the stand-alone configuration and not used when
mounted on a punch. They raise the front of the machine up (see Figure 1) to help the wire rest on
the back plate. This will help the closing process. These are an option to use.
The HD-8000 comes with a reversible closing plate. This plate is smooth on one side and
coarse on the other. Notice in Figure 2, arrow 1 points to a finger screw, there are three of these to
be removed to flip over the plate. It is recommended to use the course surface facing the wire when
binding 1” or greater wire but preferences may vary. The texture keeps the wire from rolling during
the closing process.
