Figure 7: Material Spool Correctly Loaded onto Dereeler Axel Assembly
Loading Material into the Model 59
Follow the steps below to load material into the Model 59. Refer to Figure 6 above to
aid in parts identification.
1. Manually pull approximately twenty-five (25) feet of material from the material
spool. Open the upper and lower PN 5549 cams that cover the PN 5333
accumulator pulleys.
2. Thread the material around the PN 5333 accumulator pulleys. Refer to Figure 8
through Figure 10 below for three material routing options.
a. The Model 59 is supplied with (1) PN 5522 1.25-pound pulley weight,
attached to the lower (4) PN 5333 accumulator pulleys. This weight is
designed to aid in processing solid conductor, rigid multi-conductor, or
large AWG stranded wire. Due to the rigid construction of these types of
materials it may be necessary to use only one set of the PN 5333
accumulator pulleys (i.e. threading material around only once [refer to
Figure 10 below]).
b. The Model 59 allows for an optional PN 5521 2.5-pound pulley weight.
This is for use when processing the heaviest, most-rigid material
appropriate for the Model 59.

c. To process smaller AWG wire, it may be necessary to remove the PN
5522 1.25-pound pulley weight to avoid stretching the wire during the
dereeling process. To remove the PN 5522 1.25-pound pulley weight,
loosen the PN 3733 cap screw and remove the PN 5524 weight cap.
Remove the PN 5522 1.25-pound pulley weight and reinstall the PN 5524
weight cap and PN 3733 cap screw, tightening accordingly.

Section 3 –Machine Setup and Operation
1. Plug the female end of the power cord into the power entry module, located on
the left side of the machine. Plug the male end into a proper electrical outlet.
Turn the power switch, located on the top of the machine cabinet, to the ON
position; this will illuminate the power indicator light.
2. Feed the end of the material into the processing machine. Refer to the
processing machine operating instructions for information on how to correctly
load material into the machine.
3. When the processing machine is properly loaded with material, adjust the PN
5262 extension arm (shown in Figure 6 above) up or down until the material is
level with the processing machine.
4. Adjust belt pressure with the PN 8449 drive adjusting knob. The adjustments
read MORE and LESS. The goal of this adjustment is to achieve enough
pressure so the material does not slip. Too much pressure will result in
premature belt wear.
5. The PN 5406 speed control knob is located on the top of the machine cabinet.
The goal of this adjustment is to achieve an even flow of movement of the lower
PN 5333 accumulator pulleys in an up-and-down motion that is consistent with
the speed of the processing machine.
a. Proper speed adjustment is crucial to trouble-free operation. If the speed
is set too fast, there is a potential for material overrun.
6. When the Model 59 is ready for operation and all above settings are adjusted
accordingly, the operator may begin processing material. If necessary, refer to
the processing machine operating instructions for information on how to correctly
process material.
7. If the PN 5508 circuit breaker, located on the left side of the machine cabinet
(shown in Figure 1 above), trips, wait 10-15 minutes before resetting. To reset,
simply push the white button back into the housing.
