19
The M19 Stitcher Machine is a single-head Stitcher Machine. But the time may come when
a replacement Head may have to be added or removed from the stitcher. The following are guidelines
for mounting and removing both an 18D and a G20 Stitcher Head to or from the M19.
To mount an 18D Stitcher Head on the M19 : Slip two (2) Bonnet Binder Stud Pins (G30148),
through two (2) Bonnet Binder Studs (2609) at both the top and bottom of the 18D Head. Position
the Bender and Driving Slides of the 18D approximately where they will align with the Bender Plate
and Driver Plate Adapters on the M19. Insert the Binder Stud, in the bottom of the 18D Head, into the
lower hole of the Face Plate Adapter (G30026) on the M19 Stitcher. Start one (1) Bonnet Stud Nut
(HN1213) on the Binder Stud to steady the bottom of the Head; just tight enough so the Bender Slide
does not slip off the Bender Plate Adapter. The Bender and Driving Slides may have to be adjusted
manually to match up with the Adapters on the M19. Insert the Binder Stud, in the top of the 18D
Head, into the upper hole of the Face Plate Adapter. Before starting the second Bonnet Stud Nut,
make sure the Head’s Face Plate Adjusting Slide aligns with the Driver Plate Adapter on the M19.
A screwdriver used as a lever between the Driving and Adjusting Slides will facilitate the action.
Completely tighten both the Bonnet Stud Nuts with a 3/4” Wrench.
To mount a G20 Stitcher Head on the M19 : Slip two (2) Rear Clamp Pins (G20376) through
two (2) Rear Mounting Bolts (G20341) at both the top and bottom of the G20 Head. Position the
Bender Slide and Feed Slide Block of the G20 approximately where they will align with the Bender
Plate and Driver Plate Adapters on the M19. Insert the Binder Stud in the bottom of the G20 Head
into the lower hole of the Face Plate Adapter (G30026) on the M19 Stitcher. Start one (1) Bonnet
Stud Nut (HN1213) on the Rear Mounting Bolt to steady the bottom of the Head; just tight enough
so the Bender Slide does not slip off Bender Plate Adapter. The Bender Slide and Adjustment Block
may have to be adjusted manually to match up with the M19. Insert the Binder Stud, in the top of
the G20 Head, into the upper hole of the Face Plate Adapter. Before starting the second Bonnet Stud
Nut, make sure the Head’s Face Plate Adjustment Block aligns with the Driver Plate Adapter on the
M19. A screwdriver used as a lever between the Driving Slide and Feed Slide Block will facilitate
the action. Completely tighten both the Bonnet Stud Nuts with a 3/4” Wrench. The Clincher Plate
Assemblies can now be aligned with the Stitcher Head, see pages 13-14 for more details.
To remove a Stitcher Head from the M19: While completely supporting the Stitcher Head, loosen
and remove the two (2) Bonnet Stud Nuts until the Stitcher Head is released from the M19. Lift the
Head off the M19 and set aside.
