Figure 13. Freeing Frozen Guides
To free frozen guides, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the machine from the power source.
2. Remove the sharpener from the machine, see
Remov-
ing the Sharpener
on page 5.
3. Loosen the screws (Figure 13, 3) and remove the
connecting rod (Figure 13, 4).
4. Insert the drift pin in the hole (Figure 13, 5) in the crank
and tap with a light hammer in the direction of the arrow.
This will loosen the crank.
5. Remove the crank.
6. Loosen the set screw (Figure 13, 6) using a No. 564
Allen key (.078 hex) and remove the oiler tube (Figure
13, 7).
7. Remove the crosshead (Figure 13, 8) from the guides.

8. Place a fiber or brass rod against the bottom of the
crosshead and drive the crosshead out through the top
of the guides.
Note:
If the wrist pin is frozen in the crosshead, drive
the wrist pin out of the crosshead with a soft punch.
Polish the wrist pin and the hole in the crosshead with
fine emery cloth.
9. Hone any rough spots on the bearing surface of the
crosshead against a flat oilstone until smooth.
10. Examine the guides. If there is any evidence of a high
spot, remove it with a scraper and then clean.
11. Oil the bearing surface of the guides, insert the cross-
head, and reassemble the machine. Ensure the washer
(Figure 13, 10) is in place between the connecting rod
and crosshead.
Caution
The wrist pin must be installed with the notch (Fig-
ure 13, 11) at top center. If the wrist pin is not
installed correctly, the flow of oil to the wrist pin
bearing will be cut off.
12.
Return power to machine and run the machine for
approximately one-half hour, oiling the guides frequently,
before putting the machine back into production.
Accessories

Mesh provides complete freedom of movement and air cir-
culation so hand doesn't sweat. Designed for universal fit,
the mesh glove features a uniquely designed snap wrist
strap fastener that allows a left hand glove to be easily and
quickly reversed to make a right hand glove (gloves are
normally configured as left hand).
Features a fully tapered design to fit better without excess
material and weight. Seam joining glove parts are inter-
locked and individually welded for maximum strength.
