Specifications

The following instructions illustrate how to

calibrate the G20 Stitcher Head the first time it is

used after mounting it to the stitcher machine. It also

illustrates how to manually adjust the Cutter Block

each time a different stitching capacity is required.

Adjust the compression setting on the stitcher

machine for the capacity of work to be stitched.

Make a few sample stitches and turn the stock away

from you to look at the results.

The length of each staple leg should equal the

other, meaning, the amount of wire on either side of

the stitch gap should be the same. The gap position

is controlled by the position of the Cutter Block

Assembly (G20597BA). As thicker work is stitched,

the Cutter Block must be moved further from the

Wire Holder Assembly in order to keep the legs of

the stitch even and the gap centered.

For G20 Heads mounted to a machine with an

adjuster rail, first loosen the Socket Head Cap

Screw (G20697) securing the Upper Adjustment Slide (G20645) to the Adjustment Block (G20592).

For all G20 style Heads, to shorten the length of the left staple leg, lengthen the length of the right

staple leg or move the gap between the legs to the left push the Cutter Box toward the Head Run a

couple of stitches to test this setting. To lengthen the length of the left staple leg, shorten the length

of the right staple leg or move the gap between the legs to the right pry the Cutter Box away from the

Head. If both legs are equal in length or if the gap between the legs is centered, no more adjustment

is necessary. Make sure to tighten the Socket Head Cap Screw securing the Upper Adjustment Slide

to the Adjustment Block.

If more adjustment is necessary, continue to move the Cutter Block Assembly towards or away from

the body of the G20 Head and test after each adjustment.
