Removing and Replacing the Clincher Points

(Figure 20)

The Clincher Point (9083B or C) is double-sided so

that when one side is worn, it can be reversed to

provide a new clinching surface and increase the life

of the part. A worn Clincher Point may cause

poorly formed staple legs. Loosen, but do not

remove, the two (2) Clincher Plate Nuts (2091) until

the Clincher Slide (9084B or 9093A) can be

disengaged from the stitcher machine and slid out of

the Clincher Plate Assembly (9086A) or down

within it. Rotate the Clincher Points upwards until they could be pulled out. Reverse the Points when

one of their sides is worn or chipped or replace them. Rotate the Clincher Points downward before

replacing the Clincher Slide. Make sure the Points are engaged by the Slide before tightening the

Clincher Plate Nuts.

Disassembling the Stitcher Head (Figure 21)

Remove the G8 style Stitcher Head from the stitcher machine. On Clamp-mount style heads, loosen

the Clamp Block Eccentric (G20124) and remove the Stitcher Head from the Bonnet Clamp Block

(9002). On Bolt-mount style heads, loosen and remove the Bonnet Stud Nut (HN1213 or G20170)

while supporting the Head. Remove the Head from the stitcher machine and place it on a clean work

area.

Swing the Wire Holder Retaining Spring (G20183) away from the G8 and remove the Wire Holder

Assembly (G20559BA). Snap the Middle Wire Tube (G20144A) out of the Middle Wire Tube Clip

(G20244) and remove it from the Lower Wire Tube (G20199A) in the Cutter Block Assembly

(G20197AA). Remove the two (2) Cap Screws (G20189) and the two (2) Machine Screws (G20190)

securing the Feed Gear Bracket Assembly (G20136A) to the Bonnet Assembly (G20000A) and

remove the Feed Gear Bracket. Remove the two (2) Flat Head Screws (G20216) securing the Cutter

Block Assembly to the Bonnet and remove the Cutter Block. Remove the Cap Screw (G20171) from

the back of the G8 securing the Driving Slide Assembly (G20162A or G20320A) to the Feed Slide

(G20131) and remove both from the Bonnet Assembly. The Bender Bar Assembly* can also be slid
