LOADING WIRE
Open the Leading Strip and Trailing Strip Rollers far enough to allow the wire to pass through freely. Feed the wire
through the Wire Straightener, underneath the Out of Material Rod, through the Centering Rollers, through the
Leading Strip Rollers and just into the entrance of the Input Guide Tube. Adjust the Centering Rollers up to the
wire but not touching the wire. Adjust the Leading Strip Rollers until they make contact with the wire. Select LOAD WIRE
key and keep it pressed down until the wire is completely fed through the machine. Once the wire has exited, release the
switch. The LCD screen will display CHECK TRAILING STRIP ROLLER PRESSURE, THEN CLOSE GUARD AND
PRESS ENTER. Adjust the Trailing Strip Rollers until they make contact with the wire, close the Safety Guard and then
Press ENTER. This will cut the wire and feed the slug from the machine. The Model 93 is now ready to program and
process your wire.
PLEASE NOTE THE MODEL 93 IS PICTURED WITHOUT THE SAFETY GUARD FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY.
