Adjusting the Clincher Points

2001DHD and 2601AHD, 2601DHD and 2601EHD Series Heads (Figure 11)

The final position of the Clincher Points* (round or flat, thick or thin) should be flush, or slightly

above flush, with the Clincher Plate* (round or flat, thick or thin) in order to achieve a quality stitch.

The best way to see the position of the Clincher Points is to manually turn the stitcher machine over.

When the Driver* (depending on the wire gauge being used) is at the lowest position of its stroke, the

Clincher Points are at their highest position. Turn the stitcher machine just past this point to reveal

the Clincher Points’ position. Clincher Points that do not pivot high enough will produce a weak

clinch, where Clincher Points that pivot too high will cause poor stitch quality or cut the stock being

stitched.

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. To shorten the staple legs or draw

less wire from the Wire Spool, lower the Face Plate

slightly by tapping the top edge of the Face Plate.

After the adjustments have been made, tighten the

Face Plate Locating Screw. As a rough gauge, the

distance the Face Plate is above the Bonnet (2601B)

should be equal to the work thickness. As a rule, this

adjustment should only have to be made once since

this style Head automatically adjusts itself when

the compression setting of the Stitcher machine is

changed. Some minor modifications may have to be

made for individual jobs though.
