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.

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.

OPERATION
General:
After having properly installed and set up the
machine, it is now ready for stitching. It is
recommended that each operator be instructed as to
correct operating procedure and normal adjustments
necessary for varying work conditions.
WARNING
Prevent accidents by following these
rules:
1. Do not put your hands near area to
be stitched when machine is
operating.
2. Turn the power off when the stitcher
is not in use.
Table/Saddle Conversion:
To convert from saddle to table fully raise front
sliding guard (Index 118, page 37), swing up front
of saddle until the two spring loaded table braces
(Index J, Fig.2) flip up to keep the table from
swinging back down.
To convert from table to saddle gently lift the front
of the table, pull forward at the bottom of one of
the table braces until the table can be gently swung
down to saddle position. Fully lower front sliding
guard (Index 118, page 37).
Table Stitching Using the Work
Trip:
Position table/saddle for table stitching. Switch off
power. Swing up front guard assembly. Turn the
trip lever knob counter clockwise and position the
work trip to achieve the desired stitch location.
Swing down the front guard assembly. Switch
power on. Insert work, from the front, into the
stitching area until the work depresses the work
trip, causing stitch.
Table Stitching Using the Foot
switch:
Switch off power. Swing up front guard assembly.
Position table/saddle for saddle stitching. Turn the
trip lever knob counter clockwise and position the
work trip to serve as a back gauge or move work
trip completely back out of the way of the work.
Plug the foot switch cord into foot switch outlet on
rear control panel (work trip is then automatically
bypassed). Switch power on. Load work, from the
front, into the stitching area. Once the work is
positioned as desired step on foot switch to cause
a stitch.
Hand Jog:
A hand jog is located at the rear of the machine.
To manually cycle the Bindery Mate: switch off
power; push in and rotate knob counter clockwise
to go through a normal stitch cycle, or clockwise
for a reverse cycle.

12
Master Out and SecondaryUnit In:
These outlets are only for use with the "Multiple
Stitch Accessories".
Saddle Stitching-Foot Switch Use
Only:
Switch off power. Swing up front guard assembly.
Turn the trip lever knob counter clockwise, and
move the work trip all the way back. Position the
table/saddle for saddle stitching. Swing down the
front guard assembly. Slightly loosen the two knobs
(counter clockwise) securing the front sliding guard
to the front guard. Allow the front sliding guard to
drop to the saddle position. Retighten the two
knobs. Plug the foot switch cord into foot switch
outlet on rear control panel (work trip is then
automatically passed). Switch power on. Load
work from either side and step on foot switch to
cause a stitch.
CAUTION
AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR
STITCHER BY FOLLOWING THESE
RULES:
1. Never operate your stitcher with wire
feeding unless you have work
material between the clinchers and
benderbar.
2. Do not drive one stitch on top of
another.
Work Guides:
A. Side Guides: To adjust side guides pop-up the
pins at the end of each guide, loosen the screw
knob beneath the table, position guides as
desired, and retighten the screw knob.
B. Corner Stitch Guides-Table Use Only: Pop Up
the pins located in the table and the pins located
at the end of each side guide. Using your work
as a set up tool, position and secure the side
guides as indicated in figure 13. Switch off
power, swing upfront guard assembly, and move
the work trip all the way forward. Swing front
guard assembly back down and switch on power.
Push work into corner guided area of table until
depression of work trip causes a stitch.
Changing Work Thickness:
Changing work thichness will probably require a
change of the wire draw length used to make a
stitch. This is done by raising or lowering the face
plate. To change face plate position switch off
power; swing front guard assembly up to the second
detente position; loosen the faceplate screw
(Located directly above “M2000” on the face plate),
move the position lever up for more wire or down
for less wire, retighten faceplate screw, and swing
down front guard.

THE POWER OFF AND THE
STITCHING HEAD IN NEUTRAL
POSITION! (Fig. 14)
In neutral position, the wire grip
assembly (Index A) is stopped at the
top of the slot in the face plate.
Stitching Adjustments
Best stitching performance will be assured if all ad-
justments are made so that you get the following
results:
1. Good Cut-Off
2. Uniform Wire Draw
3. Equal Leg Length
4. Proper Clincher Alignment
5. Sufficient Compression
To Equalize Both Legs of Stitch
(Fig. 15)
1. Loosen the wire guide locking bolt (Index C).
2. Turn adjusting screw (Index D) clockwise to
shorten left leg of stitch; counter clockwise to
lenghten left leg.
3. Tap bracket (Index E) down before tightening

General
Every Bindery Mate’s M2000 Head Stitcher has a
friction-type head which depends on smooth sliding
friction and proper timing to function correctly.
Preventative maintenance will go far to insure
trouble-free operation. Avoid production down time
by keeping your stitcher in top working condition
at all times.
Recommended Spare Parts
Like any equipment that has moving parts, certain
parts of your stitcher will be subjected to more wear
than others and require replacement. The following
