Specifications

Aligning the Clincher Plate (Figure 11)

In order to produce properly clinched staples, the center of the Clincher Plate* (round or flat,

thick or thin) must be exactly in line with the Driver* (depending on the wire gauge being used) both

left-to-right and front-to-back. The following are

instructions for both types of adjustment.

Front-to-Back

Manually activate the G8 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 are made to the screws in the back

of the G8 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 Screw (G20229) must be turned counter-

clockwise until the Screw sticks out slightly from the

back of the Head, while the upper 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 lower

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 (G20191) in the side 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 (9093A or 9084B). If it is not, loosen the two (2) Clincher Plate Nuts (2091) and move

the entire Clincher Plate Assembly to the right or to the left. Secure this position while tightening the

Nuts again.
