CHAPTER I CHARACTERISTICS
1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE AND ITS OPERATION.
MACHINE MODEL J-239 AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC WITH TWO HOPPER BOXES FOR PLACING
GROMMET AND WASHER.
The machine consists of a metallic stand with a wood base on which the machine is mounted. The
pedal and the electronic equipment that control the machine are located in the stand.
The head of the machine is comprised of a machine housing and two raceways (one on each side).
The moving parts in the machine are located inside the housing, such as: the main motor, axles,
eccentrics, bearings, etc.; The grommets and the washers use the two raceways to descend.
The J-239 model is designed to automatically place the grommets with washers, the grommet without
the washer, or to punch holes in the material.
Facing the machine, the grommets are placed in the left hopper box “ ” and the washers in hopper
box “ ”. Both hopper boxes are rotated by individual 24 V motors.
The grommets that descend along the left raceway “ ” are held by a small finger, which stops them
from falling. Lower horizontal guides hold the washers descending along the right raceway “ ”.
A
B
A’
B’
The machine is controlled by an electronic unit
designated IMO V3 “ ”, located inside the mounting
stand.
The IMO V3 unit receives an electric signal through
pedal “ ” that allows the main motor “ ” located
behind the head, to quickly rotate and haul the
0
flywheel (part no. 274) with a belt making a 360
rotation causing the motor to stop sharply.
The flywheel (part no. 274) has a mainshaft (part no.
207) that joins the plunger with the other moving
0
parts. By rotating 360 , it exerts pressure on the
driving stem and therefore the grommeting action is
completed.
The top set spindle (part no. 218) inside the top set
(part no.217) inserts itself inside the grommet and
pulls it down from raceway “ ”. At the same time the
slide (part no. 297) pushes the washer from the slide
track and places it exactly on top of the bottom set
(part no. 219).

CHAPTER III
The J-239 model is an automatic electronic machine designed to set grommets with washers, grommets without
washers or to make holes in the material.
Each machine is manufactured for a specific size of grommet and washer. Grommet models may differ in: the
head size “D”, the lenght “L”, the interior diameter of tube “d”, the thickness, etc; and the washer models may differ
in: the exterior diameter “F”, the length “E”, the interior diameter of washer hole “i”, the washer shape, etc.
(the raceway and the top and bottom sets); but you always have to use the same
washer the machine was manufactured for.
In order for the machine to set different grommet models, certain parts need to be changed. SEE CHAPTER IV
ADJUSTMENTS.
JOPEVI, S.L. will accept no responsibility arising from the use of this machine in any way different from that which
is described in this instruction manual.
JOPEVI, S.L. RECOMMENDS YOU TO USE ALWAYS THE SAME TYPE OF GROMMET AND WASHER FOR
WHICH THE MACHINE WAS DESIGNED. In order for the machine to set different grommet and washer models,
certain parts need to be changed
Before starting the machine for the first time, and each time the location of the machine is changed, or any
changes are made in parts or any adjustments are done to it, we recommend the following steps:
After placing and making the machine level in its permanent location ,
lubricate it with SAE 40 type oil in the grease cups and red marks. Let the oil have enough time to cover the parts
and then clean the excess oil that might remain or drip.
To verify the machine is not blocked or might have suffered a blow or breakage, See figure 3 page 10:
“STILL WITHOUT PLUGGING IT IN”
1- Remove the cap nº 158 “pulley cover” that covers the flywheel by loosening the 4 allen screws that tighten it.
2- Rotate the flywheel nº 274 manually one cicle of 360º in the direction that the red arrow points (clockwise).
3- Verify that the machine is moving freely.
4- Put the cap on again (nº 158) and tighten it with the 4 allen screws.
PLEASE VERIFY THESE ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE.

The machine is equiped in the base with an electronic device “IMO V3” and a control panel described in figure 2,
showing the following features:
1- Main Switch: connects or disconnects all of the machine systems. When the switch is pushed towards the
symbol “I”, the led will light showing that the machine is “ON”.
2- Marcha: red led shows that the machine is connected and in stand-by mode.
3- Status: green led will light every time we press the pedal indicating that the machine is in operation. If
illuminated in a pulsating fashion, it indicates failure, disconnect the machine immediately.
4- Green pointer or switch: turns the lighted pointer on or off. Only in those machines equiped with this device
(optional).
5- Red switch or feeder: connects or disconnects the two 24V motors that make the grommets and washers
rotate in the deposits.
6- Washer detector: detects the flow of washers in the railing. When selected with the position “0”, it does not
detect the washers in the railing, and the machine may place only grommets or punch holes. When pulsated to the
outermost position “1”, it detects the washers, and will not allow to place the grommet without a washer or to
punch holes. The railing must have at least 8 washers for this feature to work properly.
The position" 2" and" 3" doesn't have application in this model of machine, we therefore will always indicate" 0" or
"1”.

The machine J-239 model places grommets and washers automatically, and it can also place
grommets only. Grommets differing in size can be placed with the same kind of washers by replacing
some machine parts.
JOPEVI, S.L recommends to use always the same kind of washer which the machine was prepared for.
For placing other washer models, other than that the machine was prepared for, it will be necessary to
contact JOPEVI, S.L, and they will study this possibility. If there is a way to solve this problem, your
machine should be sent over to our factory for some modifications.
UNPLUG THE MACHINE BEFORE CHANGING THE GROMMET OR THE WASHER MODEL,
ADJUSTING THE TIGHTNESS OF THE SETTING OF THE GROMMET AND WASHER, INSTALLING
OPTIONAL ACCESORIES, OR CARRYING OUT ANY OTHER KIND OF MANIPULATION.
CHAPTER IV
ADJUSTMENTS
Each J-239 machine places a grommet model and a washer, although other grommet dimensions may be placed
by replacing the corresponding parts. This replacement is quick and simple. In order to fix a different grommet
model a whole new raceway is needed (see figure 3 page 10) together with the appropiate set of dies.
With the machine unplugged:
1- Remove the stripper plate spring nº 237 from the raceway spring nut nº 238 which holds it in place ,
2- Loosen both mounting screws nº 244 which are holding the front hopper box mounting bracket nº 240 ,
3- Use both hands for holding the grommet hopper box housing nº 242 and the grommet hopper box bottom
plate nº 241 and begin to push upwards (with slight clockwise rotations) in order to remove the whole
raceway from the front hopper box mounting bracket nº 240 ,
The whole set of dies or some of its parts (part nº 217, 218, 219 y 229) will have to be replaced
according to the different grommet models.
The dealer that sold you this machine or directly JOPEVI, S.L, will let you know about the parts that should be
replaced. If no part of the set of dies needs to be replaced, continue at point 8.
Changing the whole set of dies:
4- Pull upwardsthe ring compensator nº 233C by moving the compensator base latch nº 196 that holds it,
5- Unscrew the top die nº 217 , remove the top set spindle nº 218 and the top set spindle spring nº 229 ,
which are inside the top die. Unscrew the bottom die nº 219 ,
6- Replace the set of dies corresponding to the new grommet size, in the same order in which the other parts were
removed. Firstly the top die nº 217 with the top set spindle nº 218 and the top set spindle spring nº 229 ;
and then remove the bottom die nº 219 ,
7- Replace the ring compensator nº 233C around the bottom die nº 219 , fit the compensator base latch
nº 196 into the ring compensator groove nº 233C in order to hold it in place,
Before starting the machine, it is necessary to adjust the tightness of your setting (Point 4.2. Adjusting the
tightness of setting, change of dies; page 12).
8- Fit the new grommet raceway into the front hopper box mounting bracket nº 240 while manually rotating it
back and forth, so that the driving stem nº 243 which is in the lower part, gets into the hopper box motor spin axis
nº 239 ,

4.2. ADJUSTING THE TIGHTNESS OF SETTING, CHANGING DIES.
Machine model J-239 can set grommets in different types of material of different thicknesses. For a perfect
grommeting action you can adjust the pressure that the dies put on the grommets. Each time the dies are
changed, or a different material is used, it may be necessary to adjust the machine so that a proper setting is
achieved.
Machine model J-239 has two vertical axles:
- Nº 230 “Driving stem” , that governs the cutting pressure, and,
- Nº 215CA “Plunger” , that governs the pressure of the grommeting.
If you want to change the whole set of dies, you must follow the instructions from number 4 to number 7 shown at
point 4.1.Change of grommet model; page 11. You must always change the dies with the machine disconnected
from power source.
With the machine unplugged.
CUTTING PRESSURE:
- Remove the flywheel cover part nº 158A ,
- Manually rotate flywheel nº 274 (clockwise) until top set spindle nº 218 , is in its lowest part,
- Unscrew nut that holds the bottom die in place, then rotate the bottom die holder part nº 220 until the bottom
die part nº 219 barely touches the top set spindle part nº 218 . Secure the bottom die holder part nº 220
through nut . The pressure of the spindle nº 218 against the bottom die nº 219 must be minimum, the
pressure which is sufficient for punching a hole on a piece of paper.
PRESSURE OF THE GROMMETING:
- By unscrewing nut part nº 216 you will be able to turn the top set nº 217 to the right or left, until the
distance between the bottom die nº 219 and the top die nº 217 equals approximately the thickness of the
material used for setting the grommets,
- Manually rotate flywheel nº 274 (clockwise) and check wether the adjustment of the dies is correct,
- Secure the top set nº 217 through nut nº 216 ,
- Replace the flywheel cover nº 158A .

4.3. SETTING GROMMETS ONLY, WITHOUT THE WASHERS.
Machine model J-239 can also place grommets without the washers.
With the machine unplugged:
- Empty the hopper box and the raceway of washers,
- On the “IMO V3” turn the washer detection switch to the “0” position. (See page 9, figure 2, point 6),
(See page 14, 4.6. ADJUSTMENT QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE).
(See page 14, 4.6. ADJUSTMENT QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE).

RMODEL J-239
JOPEVI
PAGE
13
- Adjust the pressure of the grommeting and the cutting pressure (See page 12, point 4.2. Adjusting the tightness
of setting, changing dies).
For placing grommets without washers, we advice you to replace the bottom die nº 219 by another one
specific to this task.
4.4. PERFORATING ONLY.
If what you want is simply to make perforations in the material, you must place a new complete set of dies and
make the following adjustments:
With the machine disconnected from the power source,
- Empty both the deposits and railings of any grommets and washers,
- Move the grommet railing to the left and secure it with a small puncher to the front raceway bracket part nº 272 ,
- Next place the new complete set of dies and adjust the machine’s pressure as explained in page 11, point 4.1
and point 4.2.
- In the control panel “IMO V3” the washer detector switch must be set to the “0” position. (See page 9, figure 2,
point 6).
4.5. PLACEMENT LASER LIGHT (OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES).
21
11
- Your machine has an optional laser light that emits a red laser beam that can help with the placement of the
grommet and washer. (See page 14 ).
The machine includes a switch for this device, in the “IMO V3” (See page 9, figure 2, point 4). For connecting the
switch see instructions at page 28, Electric installation.
Note: Although the light power of this laser is very small.
- For small grommets and washers, the machine may come with a litle air pipe attached to the washer raceway,
which blows the washer down onto their right position, by means of an air compressor.
- For placing grommets and washers in materials such as: canvas, sailcloth, etc, a small metallic tray may be
attached to the machine, in order to be used as a base for the material.
- If you wish to know the amount of grommets and washers that you set each day, you can use a grommet and
washer meter.
- The back side of the grommet may have two shapes after having been placed in the material: 1) ring shaped
grommeting, 2) star-flower shaped grommeting, depending on the kind of bottom die nº 219 that you use:
1) ring, 2) star-flower.
Ask for the flower-shaped or ring-shaped bottom die nº 219 according to the kind of grommeting that you
wish to obtain.
- Due to differences in the tension of different supply systems, the top-set spindle stop-position nº 218 may not
be correct, and the spindle stops at a point lower than normal. If you change the position of the detector screw nº
171 by screwing it into another hole (generally the one next to it) of the flywheel nº 274 , we will be able to
stop the top set spindle nº 218 in another position. The correct position is as high as possible.
DO NOT SHINE THIS LIGHT DIRECTLY IN ANYONE’S
EYES SINCE IT COULD BE HARMFUL. KEEP IT AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

For an optimal operation of the machine, it is recommended that you keep some parts clean and always
lubricated. The cleaning should ALWAYS be done with the machine disconnected from the electrical
power source and the compressor.
The pedal we press to operate the machine, should always be clean and clear of any debris that could prevent its
normal operation.
The exterior of the machine should be cleaned with a rag that will not leave threads, so that the threads can not be
stuck to the machine.
The head of the machine has exterior grease cups. You must use a manual pressure oil can to inject oil (the oil
type to be used should be “SAE 40”) into the grease cups two or three times a week. We recommend to do this at
the end of the journey, and clean up the possible excess oil next day.
During the first month of operation it must be done twice per week. After the first month it only needs to be done
once a week.
If the machine is going to go for a long period of time without use, it will be necessary to do a general cleaning, and
greasing in the indicated spots, disconnecting it from the compressor or from the power source (if it has any
electrical devices), and then cover it so that it is protected from the dust and/or humidity.
The electrical part of the machine the IMO V3 is clearly marked with a yellow triangle and does not need any type
of maintenance. Do not open unless directed to do so by JOPEVI.
The electrical parts of the machine: motors, cables, etc, come completely sealed and secured through nuts. The
electrical parts need no maintenance, do not open or manipulate them.

FIGURE 6 FIGURE 7 FIGURE 5
As we have indicated in the manual, the J-239 machine has a series of protection devices to prevent the operator
from getting his fingers caught or any other kind of accident. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THESE
PROTECTION DEVICES.
The most dangerous area in the J-239 is the grommeting area “ ” where the operator may get his fingers or his
hands caught. In order to prevent this, some protection devices have been installed:
C
In figure 4 “ ” we indicate the area we consider dangerous for the operator.
This area “ ” is protected by:
- A part nº 167 transparent acrylic shield that allows vision but does not permit the worker to introduce his hands,
indicated in figure 4.
- A ring guard part nº 165 indicated in figure 7, that prevents the worker from accidentally introducing fingers or
hands in the grommeting area.
- The waste material pipe nº 350 is used for absorbing the remaining pieces of material that are left after the
grommeting action. This pipe allows the operator to work more comfortably.
These protection devices are tightly held through screws, that prevent them from becoming detached.
All areas considered dangerous are marked and securely enclosed.
The sticker shown in figure 5 warns you that the grommeting area " " is a dangerous area, and the machine must
always be unplugged before making any adjustments in that area.
All mechanical, electric and pneumatic parts are securely enclosed and tightly screwed up.
When the machine includes an optional device such as a laser pointer part nº 155C,
We strongly warn you that for any adjustment or any other manipulation that needs to be done, the machine must
be disconnected from the electrical power source and the compressor air inlet.
For any problem that may arise and can not be solved, please call the nearest distributor or get in contact directly
with JOPEVI, S.L.

you must not shine this
pointer directly in anyone’s eyes since it could be harmful, and keep it away from children.
