AIR FLOW TIMING
The following chart shows the cylinder actuation for one complete tie install.
*Scrap Ejection: If the automatic ejection setting is ON (recommended), the tail scrap will be automatically
released from the tension wheels after the cut operation to ease in pulling out scrap. Otherwise, the tool will
wait for the next trigger press to eject scrap. Note: Regardless of the setting, the scrap will have to be pulled out
by hand. See HMI settings to change the setting (pg. 35)
