Aligning the Clincher Plate (Figure 11)

In order to produce properly clinched staples, the center of the Clincher Plate (standard or Solid)

must be exactly in line with the Driver* both left-to-right and front-to-back. The following are

instructions for both types of adjustment.

Front-to-Back

Manually activate the G20 until the Stitcher Head

is at the bottom of its stroke and the Driver is

touching the top of the Clincher Plate. Looking from

the side of the Stitcher Head, make sure the rib of the

Driver is aligned with the center of the gap between

the front and back plates of the Clincher Plate

Assembly. All adjustments must be made to the

screws in the back of the G20 while the Stitcher

Head is removed from the Stitcher Machine. If the

Driver is positioned in front of the Clincher Plate

then the upper Socket Head Set Screws (G20229)

must be turned counter-clockwise until the Screw

sticks out slightly from the back of the Head, while

the lower Screw remains under flush. If the Driver

is positioned in back of the Clincher Plate then the

lower Socket Head Set Screw must be turned

counter-clockwise until it sticks out slightly from the

back of the Head, while the upper Screw remains

under flush. Slight adjustments to the Set Screws

make significant differences in position. Once the position is set, tighten the two (2) Socket Head Set

Screws (G20273) in the top and the two (2) Socket Head Set Screws (G20619) in the bottom of the

Stitcher Head.

Left-to-Right

Looking from the front of the Stitcher Head, make sure the Driver is centered directly above the

Clincher Slide (18182). If it is not, loosen the two (2) Round Head Machine Screws (UA3310.3) in

the Clincher Slide Retaining Strap (7256B) and move the entire Clincher Plate Assembly to the right

or to the left. Secure this position while tightening the Screws again. To check the left-to-right as

well as the front-to-back position, activate the Stitcher Head manually but stop as the staple begins to

exit the Bender Inserts.* Check that the legs of the staple are centered directly above the Clincher

Points. If not re-adjust either of the positions until the position is correct.
