WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE TOOL UNTIL YOU
HAVE READ THOROUGHLY, AND UNDERSTAND
COMPLETELY, ALL INSTRUCTIONS, RULES, ETC.
ON THIS PAGE, AND IN THE OPERATING MANUAL.
WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED
TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND
PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not t the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The green
conductor with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS Don’t
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that
might get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
DON’T OVERREACH Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE Keep tools sharp and
clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOL before servicing; when changing
accessories, such as blades, wheels, cutters, and like.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES Consult the
operating manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may a󰀨ect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM MATERIAL
SPECIFICATIONS.
DO NOT OPERATED UNIT WITHOUT GUARDS IN
PLACE OR GUARDS NOT IN WORKING ORDER.
DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR
ADJUSTMENTS WITH POWER ON.
DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR APPENDAGES IN OR
NEAR OPENINGS IN GUARDS.
DO NOT RUN UNIT WITH INCORRECT LINE VOLTAGE.
REFER TO LABEL PLACED OVER I/O SWITCH.
DO NOT ALLOW UNTRAINED OR UNQUALIFIED
PERSONNEL TO OPERATE UNIT.
DO NOT DEFEAT ANY OF THE SAFETY FEATURES
DESIGNED INTO THE UNIT.
IMPORTANT: No liability will be incurred by The
Eraser Company for injury, death, or property
damage caused by a product which has been set up,
operated, and/or installed contrary to Eraser’s written
instruction manual, or which has been subjected to
misuse, negligence, or accident, or which has been
repaired or altered by anyone other than Eraser, or
which has been used in a manner or for a purpose for
which the product was not designed.
G10S WIRE TWISTER - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

G10S WIRE TWISTER - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SET-UP:
The appropriate twisting inserts and twist spacers must
be ordered for use with the G10S Wire Twister.
The G10S is shipped with four mounting pads located on
the base. In heavy applications it may be necessary to bolt
the base to a work surface. Remove the four mounting
pads before attaching to a work surface. Failure to remove
the pads may cause the housing to crack. A 6" (152mm)
wide bolt pattern using two 5/16"OD (8mmø) bolts may
be used to permanently mount the unit to a work surface.
The twisting head should be set up as shown in the diagram
in this manual. The wire guide and twist length spacers
are predrilled for wires with conductor diameters smaller
than .040" (1.02mmø). If you need to twist a larger size
wire, the wire guide may be drilled out to the correct size.
The hole size required in the wire guide is determined
by the diameter of both the strands of wire to be twisted
including the insulation. The guide should be drilled so
that the insulation portion of the wire will not enter the
body of the guide (see diagram).
The length of a stranded wire to be twisted is determined
by the distance from the point of entry of the wire into the
wire guide to the point where the end strands of the wire
contact the twisting inserts.
The appropriate number of spacers should be used in the
head (as shown in the diagram) to achieve the desired
twist length. If there is no combination of twist length
spacers that will give exactly the correct twist length, open
space may be left between the wire guide and the twisting
inserts or spacers, etc. For correct twisting, however, any
open space left between the wire guide and the twist
length spacers, or between the twist length spacers and
the twisting inserts, should not exceed 1/8" (3mm) in
total. The twist length spacers should be drilled with an
appropriate clearance hole for the wire to be twisted. In
many cases this may be the maximum diameter that is
required for the machine to twist. In critical applications,
to eliminate buckling, etc., the clearance hole in the twist
length spacers should be the minimum possible to allow
the wire to be easily inserted into the twisting head.
There is no further set-up required. The unit may be
connected to the proper power supply. The power cord
should be plugged into the I.E.C. receptacle at the rear
of the machine. Use a properly gruonded mains supply
when using any unit that uses electricity.
! CAUTION: Environmental conditions for proper operation
should be 50ºF - 104ºF (10ºC - 40º) and 30-75% relative
humidity. The operation of the G10S should be in an open
well-ventilated work space. These tools may be a󰀨ected
by outside environmental disturbances. Should power
be removed, the G10S will not start until the I/O (on/o󰀨)
switch is reset and turned on. This machine is rated for
continuous usage and is protected with a circuit breaker
located in the I/O switch.
OPERATION:
Be sure that the guard furnished with the unit is tted as
required, and switch the machine on in the direction of
the twist desired. Insert the wire into the hole in the wire
guide until the insulation on the wire contacts the wire
guide, then remove the wire. The strands of the wire will
be neatly twisted together. Some “trial and error” may
be necessary to obtain the desired result by adjusting
the number of twist length spacers and the free distance
within the wire guide unoccupied by twist length spacers.
MAINTENANCE:
No routine maintenance is required. Keep the machine in
a clean condition and replace any worn parts as required.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
PROBLEM: Wire will not twist.
SOLUTIONS:
1) Check that the correct twist length spacers are being
utilized and that the wire guide is properly adjusted.
2) Check that the twisting inserts are correctly
positioned in the head assembly.
3) Check that the correct type twisting inserts are being
used.
PROBLEM: Wire will not enter twisting head.
SOLUTION: Make sure that the wire guide and twist
length spacers are drilled correctly to accommodate
the wire to be twisted.
PROBLEM: Wire kinks, knots, or buckles.
SOLUTIONS:
1) Check that the correct number of twist length
spacers are being utilized.
2) Check that the wire guide is correctly adjusted for
the twist length being used.
3) Check the clearance holes in the twist length
spacers. Oversize clearance holes in twist length
spacers will tend to increase the possibility of
kinking, knotting, etc.
4) Check the entrance hole in wire guide is not
permitting the insulated portion of the wire to be
pushed into the head of the machine.
