FEED AND CUT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING BLOCK
Using a 5/32 hex key, loosen the two (2) screws which secure the cutting block (see Figure 9-1).
Adjust the height of the cutting block to allow the Twin Loop wire to pass freely under it.
Tighten the screws to secure the cutting block. Note: The height of the cutting block must be adjusted
for each wire size.
The set-up of the feed area is now complete. To double check, insert the 12” long sample piece again,
into the guides. Slide the sample forward until the feed sprocket stops it. Now rotate the handwheel
(see Figure 9-1) in the clockwise direction and continue feeding the sample all the way through and past
the cutting block. If the element does not go through freely, repeat step #4 in the “ Height and Width
Adjustment of Guides” section or repeat the above step.
10. Loading Area
Before you load a book for binding, you need to make a few adjustments to the loading area.
The following steps are recommended:
Select either the large or small wire holder, the small wire holder should be used for element size no
larger than 5/16. Use the large wire holder for all other sizes. Part number for the large support guide is
460003900, and the part number for the small support-guide is 0460004000.
Adjusting the wire holder: using your 12” long sample piece of wire feed it through the feed assembly by
turning the hand wheel (see figure 9-1) right up to the loading area. Adjust the height of the wire holder
(see 10-1) by loosening the two adjusting knobs located on the backside of the machine which hold the
holder in place. Slide the holder up or down to allow for free movement of the wire. Enough room
should be provided so the wire sits back on a 15-degree angle as shown in figure 10-1. This angle will
