Specifications

The final position of the Clincher Points (7024B

or 7257B) should be flush, or slightly above flush,

with the Clincher Plate (7253A or 7650A) in order

to achieve a quality stitch. The best way to see the

position of the Clincher Points is to manually turn

the stitcher machine over. When the Driver* is at

the lowest position of its stroke, the Clincher Points

are at their highest position. Turn the stitcher

machine just past this point to reveal the Clincher

Points’ position. Clincher Points that do not pivot

high enough will produce a weak clinch, where

Clincher Points that pivot too high will cause poor

stitch quality or cut the stock being stitched.

If the clinch on the staple is not tight enough, the

Clincher Points have to be raised, assuming the

Stitcher machine’s compression setting is correct. If

the legs of the staple are being pushed back through

the stock, the Clincher Points are set too high and

have to be lowered. To adjust the Clincher Points

within the Adjustable Clincher Plate Assembly (see

Figure 12), proceed as follows. Loosen the Set

Screw (UA1428.1) in the Adjustment Block

(18183). Turn the Clincher Slide Adjustment Screw

(18186) clockwise to lower the Clincher Points and

turn the Adjustment Screw counter-clockwise to

raise the Clincher Points. Once the Clincher Point

height is set, tighten the Set Screw in the Adjustment

Block.

Some style stitcher heads do not utilize moving

Clincher Points, but rather a solid Clincher Plate

(7650SCP) as shown in Figure 13. The legs of each

stitch are bent when the wire is pushed through the

stock and hits the Clincher Plate, as opposed to the
