CAUTION

Turn Power OFF Before making Any

Adjustments

A. Insufficient or Excessive

Compression

Proper compression of work between the clincher

and the bender bars is necessary so that the stitch

penetrates the work material and clinches correctly.

To test for compression, drive several stitches into

sample work material. With proper compression,

stitches hold the work together firmly and the clinched

legs do not overlap. In the following instances,

either one or all of the conditions may exist: with

insufficient compression, stitch legs overlap, crown

of the stitch is fractured, and the work mutilated.

To change compression adjust the table/clincher

bracket.

B. Table/Clincher Bracket

Adjustment (Figure 18)

1. Remove wire from rotator, and turn the jog knob

clockwise until the bender bar is fully down.

2. Loosen the two screws (Index A) securing the

table/clincher bracket (Index B) to the stand

(Index C).

3. Move the table/clincher bracket up until the top

of the clincher assembly squarely touches the

bottom of the fully lowered bender bar. (Index

4. Retighten the two screws.

C. Clincher (Figure 19)

The purpose of the clincher is to turn the legs of the

stitch back after they have penetrated the work

material.

With the Activated (moving) Type clincher, the stitch

legs must enter the clincher at the same time and

with equal spacing from each side. When the stitch

legs have penetrated the work material, the moving

clinchers are raised to bend the legs towards each

other and up flat against the work. The clincher

points must bend both legs of the stitch against the

work with the same force. Clincher points must

always move freely and not bind. Dirt, wire chips,

etc. will cause the points to bind.

The clincher points are in a retracted position in the

clincher box until the stitch legs penetrate the work

material. After the legs penetrate, the clincher points

move upward to give a neat, flat clinch against the

bottom surface of the work material. If the clincher

points remain in the up position, the legs of the next

stitch cannot penetrate the work material, causing

the stitch legs to buckle and/or the corners of the

crown to fracture. Examine the clincher points,

clincher slide for possible binding. Clean and oil.

If clincher points rise to high, they fracture the stitch

legs and/or mar the work. If the points do not rise

high enough, the legs will not clinch flat. Adjust the

height of the clincher points.
