Trouble Shooting (Figure 7)
Following is a brief list of problems and solutions which covers the most common situations
encountered when stitching with the MiniStitcher. Most problems with stitches are due to incorrect
adjustments on the machine or to the normal wear of parts.
problem
:
The machine does not cycle but the Main Power Switch (PG1022B) is on.
solution
:
Make sure the Power Cord (P2581 or PG10410) is properly plugged into a live
receptacle. Check to see if the Circuit Breaker (PG10234 or PG10406) has been tripped. If so, push
it to reset. If it still does not cycle, make sure the Foot Switch (PG10230) is plugged in and the
correct Trip Switch position is selected. The Head Guard (PG10003) must be in place to fully depress
the safety interlock, otherwise the MiniStitcher will not function.
NOTE: If the Head Guard moves enough to lose contact with the Safety Switch (PG10229)
the Head Guard must be rotated upward to clear the Safety Switch and re-closed.
problem
:
The wire is being cut but dropped before it can be formed.
solution
:
Make sure that the wire is feeding straight, or slightly to the right, from the Wire Spool
through the Wire Straightener Eccentric (9067) and the Wire Straightener Nut (9067). Allow enough
wire to feed through the head and trip the MiniStitcher. If the problem continues, check to see if there
is enough tension in the Swivel Operating Spring (9046A). The Swivel has to get close enough to the
wire in the Bender Bar (9013BA-25 or 9013BA-21x25) to engage it. Check the Latch (9014) and the
Driver (9009-25 or 9009-21x25) for wear.
problem
:
There is inconsistent wire draw (indicated by varying lengths in the staple legs).
solution
:
Check to see if the Grip (9015) is worn and needs to be reversed or replaced, or if the
Grip Spring (9019) is stretched out. If an inconsistent amount of wire is being drawn from the Spool,
the legs of the staples will vary. Wire draw could also be restricted by the Tension Pawl (9098) or the
Tension Pawl Spring (9134) being too tight or too loose causing the wire to back up into the head. If
wire is not being easily fed between the Tension Pawl and the Wire Straightener Roll (9103) on the
Face Plate, consistent wire draw is adversely affected.
problem
:
More than one piece of wire is loading into the Swivel (9083M or 9083A).
solution
:
The Bender Bar Friction Plug (9112B) may be worn as well as the Bender Bar Friction
Spring (9113B). If the Bender Bar (9013BA-25 or 9013BA-21x25) does not retract enough to allow
the Swivel Assembly (9038M or 9038A) to return to its normal position, the head will not drive the
wire into the stock and it will remain in the Swivel.
problem
:
The wire is being bent, not cut or is jamming along the Face Plate (2132BA).
solution
:
First check to see that the Cutters (9048) do not have to be reversed or replaced. If their
surfaces are not dull check to see if the Wire Cutter Operating Slide (9049) is worn or if the Cutter
Holder in the Face Plate is worn.
