MODEL 945- VS WIRE STRIPPING MACHINE
7
Ø The last main adjusting point on this machine are the lower mandible t-bolts. These
are the bolts with lock nuts on them located on the bottom of all bearing housings.
These adjust the top cutting assembly manually. Generally, do not adjust these lower
T-bolts unless you are running oversized wire. If you do adjust them, only adjust the
T-bolts on the right side (the large wire channel side). Make certain to adjust them
back to their lowest point after so as to use the machine in standard mode later.
PROCESSING WIRE
Ø There is a wire guide in front of the main shaft and blade shaft where the cables will
be manually inserted. See wire input guide diagram below for a general
understanding of what wires can go in certain cutting channels.
Ø The wire input guide will be used as a general starting point for processing wire.
Before processing, it is recommended to collect similar wire types to assist in wire
processing efficiency.
Ø Selecting the correct input to run the wire through can take some time and
experience. The general rule is to start in a much larger wire guides than the wire in
question, run the wire, check the wire. If not cut, step down to a smaller input guide
and try it again. It is a general misconception that the user should put a wire in the
hole that is the exact same size of the wire. This is rarely the case. After a while the
user will know from experience which guide is right for certain wire types.
