Specifications

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.
If the staple is off-center, meaning one leg is
longer than the other, the length of the left leg has
to be changed. Loosen, do not remove, the Wire
Guide Spring Bracket Screw (9075) and the Wire
Guide Adjustment Binder Screw. (1060) Using a
screwdriver, turn the Wire Guide Spring Bracket
Screw (56) clockwise if a shorter left leg is necessary
and counter-clockwise if a longer left leg is necessary.
A slight turn of the Adjusting Screw will usually
prove sufficient to achieve the desired length. A
quarter turn of the Adjusting Screw will make a
considerable difference in the length of the staple’s
leg. Once the desired length has been achieved,
tighten the Binder Screw and the Wire Guide Spring Bracket Screw. At this point, the left leg should
be approximately one half the width of the crown.
NOTE: If the staple leg has been lengthened, meaning the Wire Guide Spring Bracket Screw
has been turned counter-clockwise, tap down on the Wire Guide Spring Bracket (2651) before
tightening the Wire Guide Spring Bracket Screw.
