Introduction The DeLuxe Stitcher Company 2001DHD Series, 2301DHD Series, 2601AHD Series, 2601DHD and 2601 EHD Series Wire Stitcher Heads are basically identical with respect to operation. Variations occur in some of the component parts due to adapting that basic head to single stitch and gang stitch machines and also due to model design changes. Variations between the 2601AHD Series and the 20001DHD Series can be recognized by a comparison of the Swivel Holders.
Part Number Definition The part number for each Stitcher Head can be used to define the stitcher head itself, in most cases. The Head’s model type, mounting style, nominal wire size and crown size can all be determined from the part number.

Installation Pre-Inspection Carefully inspect the condition of the shipping container before unpacking your 26/26D Stitcher Head. If the container is broken or damaged and there is evidence that the stitcher head may be damaged, immediately notify the carrier who delivered the head and the DeLuxe Stitcher Graphic Arts Representative from whom the 26/26D Stitcher Head was purchased. Inspection As you carefully unpack the head, check to make sure all components were delivered and are in good working order.

Always disconnect the power supply before making any adjustments or servicing the head.
Mounting The quality and quantity of work that can be produced by the DeLuxe Stitcher Company Heads is dependent upon the operator making the various operating adjustments as accurately as possible. The following illustrated instructions are provided so that the operator will clearly understand how to make the various required operating adjustments.
(2215) with the Driving Slide Pin. (2103B) on the back of the stitcher head. The Driving Slide Pin must be inserted in the lower hole of the Link. (The lower hole of the Link is the one opposite of the oil hole.) With the Link held in a vertical position, line the head up with the machine. Engage the machine’s Crank Pin in the upper hole of the Driving Shaft Connecting Link and insert the Binder Stud Pin (2624) in the mounting hole of the Bonnet casting.
Operation Wire Threading (Figures 4 & 5) 1. Disengage the Swivel Operating Spring (2155A) and remove the Swivel (9038A or 9038M) from the stitcher head. 2. Pass the wire from the Spool over the Wire Guide Spring Assembly (2133A), between the Guide Spring Studs (2110B) and under the flanges of the Wire Straightener Rollers (9103) on the Spring as well as between the Wire Straightener Eccentric Roller (9065) and the Wire Straightener Rollers on the Face Plate (2146CA). 3.
Wire Straightening (Figure 6) In order to ensure the stitches are loaded, driven and clinched properly in addition to ensuring continuous operation of the 26 style heads, it is important that the wire enters the Swivel (9038A or 9038M) in straight vertical line. Wire straightness is the single biggest factor for ensuring good stitches and stitcher head reliability.
Adjusting the Length of the Left Leg (Figure 7) 2651 56 shorter leg Once the 26/26D style Stitcher Head has been threaded and the wire straightness has been obtained, it is time to begin stitching. Activate the stitcher machine to load one piece of wire in the Swivel (9038A or 9038M). Even though the 26/26D Stitcher Heads have been tested at the factory, the wire draw adjusted and the legs equalized, the following are directions to make these adjustments if necessary.
Adjusting the Wire Draw The overall length of the stitch is controlled by the amount of wire that is drawn from the spool after each stroke of the stitcher machine. To change the overall length of the stitch, the stitcher head’s Face Plate has be to be raised or lowered accordingly. 2001DHD Series Head (Figure 8) more wire draw Loosen the Eccentric Binder Screw found on the stitcher machine behind the right side of the Stitcher Head.
2601AHD, 2601DHD and 2601EHD Series Heads (Figure 10) Loosen the Face Plate Adjusting Slide Nut (2613) found in the center of the Face Plate (2146CA). To increase the overall length of the stitch, raise the Face Plate slightly by applying pressure at the bottom edge of the Face Plate. Use a large screwdriver as a lever under the Wire Cutter (9048) Holder area of the Face Plate. Raising the Face Plate draws more wire from the Wire Spool and increases the length of each staple leg.
If the clinch on the staple is not tight enough, the Clincher Points (9083A) 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. These adjustments are specific to each stitcher machine and cannot be fully explained in this manual, since many Machines have Clincher Lever adjustments built in.
Maintenance Your 26/26D Stitcher Head has been fully lubricated at the factory, but to insure continuous superior operation and a longer life of the head, the operator should be sure that the heads are lubricated regularly and carefully maintained. The operator should periodically inspect all moving parts for signs of wear and when required, replace the worn parts.

Ordering Spare Parts In time, you will need to replace some parts in your 26/26D style Stitcher Head. When this happens, first locate the needed part in one of the following diagrams. Then locate the DeLuxe/Bostitch part number and contact your Graphic Arts Representative to order the part by the part number, description and quantity. ! caution Always power down the stitcher machine before any maintenance or adjustments are made to the stitcher head.
Cutters, remove them from the Face Plate. Loosen the Screws (UA2305.2) securing the Face Plate Clips (9056) and the Screw (0084) securing the Solid Face Plate Clip (9171). Once the clips are loosened, the Face Plate can be tilted away from the Bonnet (2601B) to remove the Wire Cutters. This may be a good time to check for wear on the Wire Cutter Operating Slide Friction Plug (9050) and Friction Plug Spring (9051) and replace if necessary.
Removing and Replacing the Grip (Figure 17) The Grip (9015) can be used in two positions so that when the gripping teeth show signs of wear, it may be reversed to extend the life of the part. A worn Grip may cause inconsistent wire draw. Loosen the Grip Retaining Clip Screw (9024) and swing the Grip Retaining Clip (9023) out of the way. Remove the Grip and reverse its position within the Grip Holder. If both edges are worn, replace the part.

Remove the Grip Release Slide Lever (9025) and Grip Release Slide (9022) and set them aside. Loosen and remove the Wire Guide Spring Bracket Screw (9075), which will release the Wire Guide Spring Bracket (2651) from the top of the Bonnet. Loosen the Face Plate Locating Screw (2608) and slide the Face Plate Adjustment Slide Block (2611) or the Face Plate Lock Clamp (2606) and Lock Block (2607) out the top of the Bonnet.
Troubleshooting (Figure 20) The quality and quantity of work that can be produced with the 26/26D Stitcher Head is dependent upon the operator making all adjustments as accurately as possible and carefully maintaining the head. The cause of staple imperfections usually can be traced to inaccurate settings or normal wear of moving parts.
problem: Partially Formed Stitches solution: Replace the worn Driver Bar Latch (9014) or Driver Bar (9012A). The Grip Spring (9019) could be worn or broken, replace it. problem: Stitch in Pieces or Right or Left Leg Sheared Off solution: Clean and lubricate Swivel (9038A or 9038M). (See page 19) Loosen the Swivel Holder Screw and correct the alignment between the Swivel Holder and the Bender Bar. If problem persists, file the forming corner of the Swivel slightly with a honing stone.
