Problem or Issue
Possible Reason
Action
The machine fires prematurely.
The top edge of the frame is
pressing against the activation
switch before the side edge is
squared on the fence.
Always position the side edge of
the frame before pushing the top
edge against the T-Bar (i.e., the
pneumatic switch).
A hanger is jammed in the
machine.
In the unlikely event of a jam, one
of two things may have
happened. The hanger strip has
been placed on the magazine
incorrectly, or the hanger strip
was bent or damaged during
shipping or handling.
The operator must manually
remove the jam by first
disconnecting the air supply, then
freeing the remaining hanger
strip from the rear of the
machine, and finally ejecting the
jammed hanger. Only one hanger
can ever be jammed because of
the machine’s design.
To remove the hanger strip,
locate the ram guard above the
T-bar assembly and push up on
the orange release lever.
Remove the hanger and then
make sure the hanger strip is
reloaded properly before
reconnecting the air supply. (See
page 6.)
There is no air pressure.
The source of compressed air is
disconnected or improperly
connected to the Saber 250-A.
Re-check your air source and
hose connections to make sure
that you have correctly attached
the Saber 250-A to your existing
air supply system.
If the pneumatic drive still does
not work properly, contact your
Fletcher-Terry Customer Service
Representative for further advice.
There is insufficient air pressure.
Pressure settings are not
properly set.
The machine is being used on
material, or in a way for which it
is not designed.
Check your company’s
compressed air source to make
sure that it is in proper working
order. Verify that all settings are
consistent with the
recommendations listed on page
6 of this manual.
