Specifications

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. Continue to pull the wire through the Tension
Pawl (9098) and through the hole in the Face Plate,
located at the top of the Wire Cutter (9048) Holder
and through the Swivel Holder (9043B or 2147). At
this point, do not worry if the wire is not fed between
the Grip (9015) and the Grip Holder area.
NOTE: The Tension Pawl will hold the wire in the
Wire Straightener Roller’s (9103) groove. This
will allow the wire to feed through the Head but
not allow it to “back-up.”
4. Pull enough wire through the bottom of the
Head
to clear away what was bent in the threading
process.
5. With the Swivel still removed, power the stitcher
machine on and complete one cycle under power to
allow the wire to automatically thread between the
Grip and the Grip Holder. This will also cut off any
excess wire below the Cutters.
NOTE: Hold the Swivel operating Spring away
from the Swivel Holder so as not to damage it.
