Section 2
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND PROCESURES
SAFETY
1. Make sure electrical power is turned off before
performing any adjustment or maintainence.
2. Keep hand, tools, hair, and clothing clear of
stitching area.
3. Become familiar with the moving components
of your machine. Keep fingers away from areas
that could pinch or cut.
4. Observe your plant safety rules.
5. Exert “good housekeeping” in your work area.
Keep it as clean and uncluttered as possible.
6. A well maintained machine is a safer machine.
Clean and lubricate the machine at regular
intervals. Check machine daily for broken or
worn parts. Replace as necessary. DO NOT
attempt to operate the machine if a part is
broken.
7. Route all electrical cables away from pedestrian
transportation lanes.
8. See “Safety Guards/Cover” information. It
points out areas where additional caution should
be exercised. If you are unsure how to safely
operate or maintain your Stitcher, contact your
Service Representative.
SAFETY GUARDS/COVER
A. Grey Plastic Cover: Covers frame, motor,
mechanical, and electrical components.
B. Front, Clear Plastic, Guard Assembly: A three
position guard. In the fully downward position
the guard is spring loaded to: cover the M2000
Head, and work trip adjustment knob; restrict
access to the stitching area; depress a limit switch
to allow the machine to operate. The guard can
be swung up to its first detent position (about
70 deg.) to allow access to the work trip
adjustment knob and lower portion of the M2000
Head. The guard is swung up to its second
detent position (about 155 deg.) to allow total
access to the M2000 Head for faceplate
adjustment, lubrication, and wire threading.

ASSEMBLY, LUBRICATION
INSTALLATION
Note:
These instructions must be followed to insure
proper installation, efficient operation and the
prevention of serious damage to your stitcher.
Before Unpacking:
Examine the outside of the crate or carton for any
visible damage. If damaged DO NOT UNPACK
THE STITCHER. Notify the carrier who delivered
the stitcher.
After Unpacking:
Examine your stitcher carefully for any damage in
transit. If damaged, DO NOT INSTALL THE
STITCHER. Notify your nearest representative and
the carrier who delivered your stitcher.
Make certain that you get a signed copy of the
Carrier Inspector’s Report of the damage incurred
ASSEMBLY (FIGURES 1,2,3)
1. Clamp the Bindery Mate to a table or bench
(see "Mounting" page 3). Assemble per figure
1.
2. Install Table/Saddle (Index A) to Table and
Clincher Bracket (Index B) using the two
shoulder screws (Index C). Shoulder of screws
should extend through table and bottom out
inside of table/clincher bracket.
3. Turn Trip lever Knob (Index D) counter
clockwise and move the work trip (Index E) all
the way toward the clincher (Index F). Install
the Auxiliary Table (Index G) and Paper Guide
(Index K) to the stand using the two .25-28 x
.375 socket head cap screws and flat washers
(Index H,I). The top surface of the auxiliary
table should be at the same height as the main
table. NOTE: The auxiliary table MUST
NEVER TOUCH THE WORK TRIP OR
STITCHER WILL ACTIVATE (SEE
FIGURE 3).
4. Install Wire Guide Spring into wire guide bracket
of M2000 Head.

THREADING WIRE AND
ADJUSTING WIRE
STRAIGHTENERS (See fig. 4)
1. Draw wire by hand, from the the coil (Index A).
2. Thread the wire through the slot (Index B) at
the end of the wire guide spring, through the
wire guides (Index C), between the thin and
thick felt wire wipes (Index D), through the
upper wire straightener (Index E), and through
the lower wire straightener (Index F).
3. Release the rotator operating spring (Index H)
from the rotator and swing it to the left.
Remove Rotator (Index K).
4. Thread the wire between the tension pawl and
tension roll (Index G). Feed the wire through
the wire cutter lead-in hole (Index I) in the
bottom of the face plate.
5. Push grip post to left to open the grip (Index J).
Insert wire and release the post so that the grip
engages the wire for feeding into the rotator.

FELT WIPE PADS
LUBRICATION
AND MAINTAINANCE:
(FIGURE 5)
IMPORTANT! In order for the stitchers to operate
properly, the felt wire wipes MUST be rotated and
dampened with SAE 20W oil before each new spool
of wire (50,000 to 70,000 stitches). Replace felt
pads when they become so dirty that they cannot
be rotated to a clean spot.
6. To check adjustment, hold open grip (Index J
and pull about 1 1\2 feet of wire from below
face plate. Cycle machine once by hand to cut
wire. Cycle machine again by hand to observe
wire straightness. The wire (Index L) should
point straight down, prior to being cut, as shown
in Figure 4 .
7. Adjust the upper wire straightener, beginning at
position shown, (Index E, Figure 4) so that the
wire points straight down. Adjust the lower
wire straightener, beginning at the 3:00 o'clock
position, (Index F, Figures 4) so that the wire
(Index L, Figure 4) feeds straight down.
8. Replace the rotator and rotator operating spring.
NOTE:
When changing coils or wire sizes, check straightners
to insure proper wire feed.
Dirty area of pads has been slightly
rotated so that a clean area of pads
can be used for the next wire spool.
1. After every wire
spool, rotate the dirty
area of the pads
slightly so that a clean
area can be used for
the next wire spool.
2. Dampen both pads
(about 30 to 40
drops) using an SAE
20W oil.

Typically, the 1/2 inch crown stitcher will run for
1,000,000 cycles without additional lubrication.
However, the following procedure used after each
spool of wire will assure optimum life and
performance. Use ISP lubricant #CA9640.
A. Inject lube into hole, or remove and lube shafts.
B. Wipe area clean and inject a small amount of
lube into cam area.
C. Remove rotator, wipe rotator clean and lube
rotator body.
D. Apply lube to rotator ramp.
E. Wipe clean inside of rotator holder.

F. Inject a small amount of lube into cam area of

G. Inject lube into cutter operating slide.
H. Wipe driver clean, and apply a light coating of
lube.
After prolonged use (or storage) accumulations of
wire dust, dirt, or other contaminants can mix with
the stitcher lubricant. This will reduce the lubricant's
effectiveness. The following procedure is
recommended every 1,000,000 cycles.
1. Disassemble the head and clean all parts.
2. Lightly lube all sliding surfaces using ISP
lubricant #CA9640.
3. Double check lube points A through H.
