OPERATION:
To introduce roving to the cutter,
double over one end of roving and
insert it through one of the three holes
in the feed bar (18) on the top of the
cutter assembly. The air motor control
knob, on the front of the manifold (6),
should be opened three or four turns,
and the blower control knob, on the
rear should be opened a 1/4 turn. Pull
the trigger and the glass will be
dispensed into the resin stream. By
opening or closing the blower control
knob, the glass pattern will vary in
width. By opening the motor control
knob, glass content will be increased.
Close this knob and glass content will
be decreased. Adjust both motor
control and blower control to produce
the desired output and pattern. The
resin fan should be approximately 3"
wider than the glass pattern. This
allows the fan pattern to pre-wet the
part and post wet the glass.
ADJUSTMENTS:
Cutting head (11):It should have
sufficient tension against the anvil
sleeve (17) to cut properly. Excessive
tension will overload the air motor
(5) and create starting problems.
Insufficient tension will not allow
complete cutting of the roving. The
eccentric nuts (4) can be used to
adjust the tension correctly.
Idler bearing (16): This should be
adjusted to have a slight contact
with the anvil sleeve (17). Excessive
contact will create starting problems.
Insufficient contact will not allow the
roving to feed correctly. The
eccentric nut (4) on the end of idler
bearing is used to adjust the idler
bearing to the correct tension.
Air motor oiling (5): This is
accomplished by removing the motor
control knob from the manifold
assembly (6), and inserting 2 to 3
drops of light weight machine oil (use
Binks 207-11155-1). Replace the
control knob and the cutter guard,
and run for a few seconds, wipe off
any excess oil. (Or oil may be added
to an in-line oiler on the air supply
hose.)
NOTE
Lubrication is very important and
the motor should be oiled after
every 2-4 hours of continuous use.
Cutter alignment: The roving
should enter the resin fan as soon
as possible without excessive fall
out. Simply push the cutter forward
or pull back to achieve this. To
adjust the cutter angle from side to
side, simply turn the knob (22g) on
the mounting bracket (22) in the
direction desired.
DISSASSEMBLY:
1.Start by removing the cutter guard
assembly (14) and chute (13).
2.To remove the air motor assembly
(5) and manifold assembly (6) first
remove the outer retaining ring
(5b) and the anvil sleeve (17) from
the air motor assembly.
3.Then loosen the Allen head cap
screw (2), releasing the air motor
assembly and the manifold
assembly from the back plate (1).
CAUTION
DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO FORCE
THE AIR MOTOR OUT.
!
4. If it is stuck, you may need to use
slight pressure from a screwdriver
between the air motor and back
plate to free it.
5. To remove the manifold assembly
(6), remove the air hose (25),
valve and elbow (21, 23), and the
modified head screw (7) from
within the manifold. The manifold
assembly will then drop free of the
air motor, and expose the three
o-rings (6f).
6. Inspect the muffler (6a) and the
blower tube (6c) for any wear.
Replace if necessary. Be sure to
insert so that the blower holes are
pointing in the right direction.
7. To remove the control knobs from
the manifold assembly, remove the
thumbscrew (6k). Then use a
screwdriver to remove the packing
nut (6i) and the o-rings (6g, 6h).
Replace the o-rings if necessary.
Repeat for other side.
8. For disassembling the air motor
assembly (5), begin by removing
the two pins (5d) holding the tire
shaft (5c) to the rotor. Next pull
the tire off the shaft. Refer to Part
Sheet 77-2883 for further details.
9. Check the bearings (5e) for any
wear, replace if necessary.
10. To remove the cutting head
assembly (11) from the back
plate, hold the eccentric nut (4)
and unscrew the cutting head
bolt (12). To remove the cutting
blades (11f), use a small
screwdriver to pry out the blade
spacer (11e), and the retaining
spring (11d). The old blade will
fall free of the slot when this is
done.
11. To remove the cutter bearing
(16) from the back plate, hold
the eccentric nut (4) and
unscrew the hex head screw
(15).
RE-ASSEMBLY:
Manifold Assembly:
1. Lubricate the o-rings (6g, 6h) with
petroleum jelly and insert into the
manifold body (6e).
2. Next thread the packing nut (6i)
into the manifold body.
3. Then thread the lock nut (6j) onto
the thumbscrew (6k) and insert
into the manifold body.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other
side of the manifold.
5. Now thread the jam nut (6d) onto
the blower tube (6c). And then
thread the blower tube into the
manifold body. Be sure to note
the position of the blower tube
holes when inserting into the
manifold body.
6. Finally thread the muffler (6a) into
the muffler adapter (6b) and insert
them into the manifold body.
