Open the Stitcher Head Door (1).
Pass the wire from the Spool over
the Wire Guide Spring (2),
threading the wire between the
Guide Studs on the Guide Spring
and through the Oiler Felt in the
Retainer (not shown). Thread the
wire between the Rolls of the two
sets of Wire Straighteners (3) and
(4). Pass the end of the wire behind
the Wire Clip (5) and then pull the
wire down until it extends to just
below the Wire Cutter Holder (6).
Push the Wire Holder Slide (7) to
the left. With the Slide held in this
position, lay the wire well back in
the slot (8) in the Wire Cutter Holder
then release the Slide (7) allowing it
to close over and retain the wire in
the slot (8). Slide the Wire Retainer
(9) up, thereby uncovering the
groove in the Wire Guide (10). Lay
the wire in the groove and then slide
the Retainer (9) down securing the
wire in the groove. Turn the
machine over manually until the
wire
automatically falls in place between
the Moveable and Fixed Grips (11) and (12).
The wire is now threaded in the Head. However, before operating the Stitcher under power, turn the
machine over manually a few revolutions and observe that the wire is feeding freely and is being
cut off by the Cutters in the Cutter Holder. Then close the stitcher head door and check that the wire
is feeding in a straight vertical line, as directed in the following paragraph.
