SECTION III: Operation
Scissor: Places the ribbon around the product to be twist tied. Alignment is critical. Cor-
rect setting has the ribbon chute centered to the ribbon cutter anvil slot. To adjust:
1) If motor and cam are stopping in HOME position, correct alignment of chute and an-
vil will be achieved. (see motor/cam adjustment).
Twister: Twists ribbon ends securing the ribbon around the product. Twister position is
critical. Correct position is in a vertical position when inactive. To adjust:
1) Loosen twister sprocket set screw.
2) Turn twister and shaft until twister is in a vertical position.
3) Re-tighten set screw.
Ribbon Cutter: Cuts the ribbon to length. Smooth action between knife and cutter anvil
is critical. To adjust:
1) Remove knife actuator spring tension (part# 920) and slide knife to the left.
2) Loosen the screws that secure the cutter anvil.
3) Place a .003 shim between the anvil and the knife.
4) Hold the cutter anvil against the knife, retighten the screws and remove the shim.
5) Replace tension spring.
Important
Make certain that the knife is not too tight. The knife must not “stick”, but be
secure enough to cut the ribbon cleanly
