page 18) Reverse or replace the worn or broken Driver. (See page 25) Make

sure the Cutters are aligned and not dull. (See page 16) Check for

correct wire size and strength being used. Check for correct work thickness setting.

PROBLEM: Leg(s) Buckled

SOLUTION: If the ends of an unformed piece of wire are not smooth,

the Wire Cutters are worn. Check for wear and rotate or replace if needed.

(See page 16) Make sure the Cutters are aligned properly. (See page 17)

Make sure the correct wire size is being used and that the wire is straight.

(See page 14).

if needed. (See page 25) Align the Wire Holder. (See page 14) Straighten

wire. (See page 14) Check the tensile strength of the wire or use thicker wire.
