Use and Care Manual

1. On the underside of the Pattern Matcher is a black
Allen screw holding a "cup" washer and the
powerhead in place. Remove the black Allen screw
with the Allen wrench provided.
2. Remove the cup washer and powerhead.
3. Position tailblade attachment so that the blade is
pointing outward.
4. Invert the cup washer (the cup part of the washer
should be facing the frame assembly).
5. Tighten Allen screw.
6. Reverse this procedure when replacing the second
power head. When replacing the powerhead, be
sure the "cup" of the cup washer is facing away
from the frame assembly.
HOW TO INSTALL THE TAILBLADE ATTACHMENT
CARE OF YOUR STRETCHER
1. To keep your Pattern Stretcher operating smoothly and to minimize wear,
all moving parts should be kept clean. Lubrication is not necessary
because the tool has built-in lubrication in its precision bushings.
2. Protect your Pattern Stretcher against damage when not in use. The tool
comes complete with a carrying case. Keep your Pattern Stretcher in the
case when not in use.
3. If additional lubrication is desired, use paraffin wax to avoid getting oil
spots on the carpet.
4. Before disassembling your Pattern Stretcher, locate the end of all Pivot
Pins which show the three holdings grooves. Remove pins by driving the
grooved end of the pins outward. When reassembling, install Pivot Pins
from opposite side of casting.
SEAM REPAIR
Simply straddle the seam and adjust the position of the dual heads to
properly close the seam gap. Apply latex or adhesive. Allow adhesive to
achieve full bond before removing the pattern stretcher, or use stay nails
until cured. Be careful not to get adhesive on to the face yarns of the carpet.
Failure to properly seal seam edges often results in edge ravel, edge de-
lamination, tuft loss or seam separation.
