9.5.3 BONDING THE BELT STRIPS WITH THE PROFI 5 LACER
1) Cut the end of the belt exactly square to its side.
2) Place the PROFI 5 lacer in the vice with the holes outwards. Fully open the vice.
3) Place the staple rivets in the holes, starting from the left-hand side.
4) Insert two rivets in each hole.
5) Close the vice until the staples meet the stop to leave room for the belt.
6) Feed the belt as guided by the marks (depending on the belt width and the number of staples).
7) Hold the belt in the correct position and press the pressure rivets firmly by closing the vice.
8) The belt should touch the rivets and the vice should travel to close until the rivets touch the belt surface.
9) Insert the punch into the left hole and down to the stop. Strike the punch 3 times with a hammer to produce
a perfect rivet joint.
10)
Make the rivet joints from the right-hand side to the left. DANGER! Use a 500÷800 g hammer.
11)
Open the vice and remove the belt by bending it slightly to the back.
12)
Insert the next staple rivets, place the belt on the first left-hand rivet and bond as instructed above.
13)
Hammer down all installed rivets on a flat surface – do not crush the eyelets!
14) You can trim the staple to the required length by bending and breaking them off.
15) Cut away the protruding link cord.
16) The belt bonding method is the same irrespective of the belt width.
17) Repeat the procedure to close the other end of the belt – install the staple rivets on the same side as before.
18) Make a 2 centimetres long cut askew and leave a reserve of 5 mm on both sides.
19) Bind both ends of the belt together and insert a rod into the eyelets to verify that the joint is good.
20) The outer edges of the belt should run aligned after bonding.
IMPORTANT! Install the belts on the machine with great care and mind the direction of movement shown
in the diagram 11.6 "Belt runs".
