Specifications

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. Slide
the existing or new Wire Cutters into the cutter
holder in the Face Plate, with the tongue of the upper
Cutter facing the Face Plate and the tongue of the
lower cutter facing the Wire Cutter Operating Slide.
Before tightening the Face Plate Clip Screws and
the Solid Face Plate Clip Screw, make sure that each
Cutter has slipped into position in the Face Plate and
in the Wire Cutter Operating Slide. (9049) Press the
Face Plate under the Face Plate Clips and tighten the
Face Plate Clip Screws. Always cycle the stitcher
machine manually before switching the power on to
ensure free mechanical movement. This will prevent
serious damage to both machine and stitcher head.
Removing and Replacing the Tension Pawl (Figure
16)
The Tension Pawl (9098) is double-ended so
that when one end is worn, it can be reversed,
increasing the life of the part by providing a new
gripping surface. A worn Tension Pawl may cause
inconsistent wire draw. To remove the Tension Pawl,
disengage the Tension Pawl Spring (9134) from the
Tension Pawl and remove the Wire Straightener Roll
Clip (9124). Flip the Tension Pawl over so that a
new surface is in contact with Wire Straightener
Roller (9103) and replace the E-clip. Make sure
that the Tension Pawl is under the flange in the Wire
Straightener Roll before re-engaging the Tension
Pawl Spring. If both ends of the Pawl are worn,
replace the part.

After replacing or installing new parts, rotate the
Drive Pulley manually to check for free movement.
