MWS- 83MD

MACHINE COMPONENTS
Ø The main components of the MWS-83MD are the central cutting (top) and rolling
assemblies (bottom) which has the drill shaft. These are driven by human power
using a hand-wheel and hand-crank or by a user supplied chuck type drill. The safety
guards are situated on top of the assemblies as well as in front where the wire guide
is situated.
o The safety components must be not be removed except by a qualified
technician.
Ø NOTE: The drill shaft is most suitable for continuous smaller/medium size wires. It's
not made for continuous large wire operations. It can put excess stress on the shaft
over time making it vulnerable to breakage.
Ø This machine has one primary adjusting point. The main way is though the two T-
bolts. These are the black bolts on the top of the machine that have a locking wing
nut. These T-bolts are used to tighten or loosen the springs that control the upper
cutting assembly. Essentially these are used to cut deeper or shallower into wire
jackets. If you are not able to put a piece of wire in a channel (and have already tried
to run it through larger channels), it may be necessary to loosen the T-bolt
o It is not uncommon for users to over-tighten these T-bolts thinking they need
more spring tension, when in reality they just needed to strip down a cutting
channel.
o Generally if you’re cutting in the right channel a full turn of the T-bolt (either
tighter or looser) is all that is needed.
