Foot Switch
When the operator is correctly positioned in front of a machine equipped with a foot switch, the foot should
rest on the switch comfortably. The foot switch should be movable, so that its location can be readily
changed when the operator shifts position to minimize fatigue. Placing the switch on a rubber mat keeps it
movable while preventing unintentional sliding.
The preferred foot switch location varies to some extent among operators. Some operators prefer the
switch located so that their foot rests on the switch when their feet are in the natural sitting position (calf of
leg perpendicular to the foot). Others prefer the leg to be slightly in front of the natural position. The
important thing to remember is that the foot should be at approximately 90° (right angle) to the calf when
resting on the switch. Those operators who prefer the foot switch slightly in front of the natural position
may require a wedge-shaped block placed under it.
Scrap Removal
A suggested method of scrap removal: place a tray on the right side of the machine, under the cast slot in
the frame, to capture the scrap chips.

OPERATION
4.1.
Control Panel Operation
The basic control panel operation is as described in Figure 9. The control panel will be used to set up and
operate the machine (see paragraph 4.3. and paragraph 4.4.).
4.2.
Applicator Installation
Install the proper applicator in the quick-change mounting base as follows:
CAUTION
M
ake sure that the precision adjustment lever has been returned to the “0" position before installing the applicator. Be sure
that the applicator has the proper feed cam prior to installation.
NOTE
Applicators from AMP-O-
LECTRIC Model “K" terminating machines and Model “T" terminating machines can be used in these
machines by using a special replacement cam. Refer to Figure 2.
1. Loosen the quick-release T-handle (see Figure 5) and slide the applicator base clamp down.
2. Place the applicator on the quick-change base plate, then slide it back until the two notches in the
applicator base engage the stops at the back of the quick-change base plate. At the same time, guide
the ram post into the ram post adapter.
3. Slide the applicator base clamp UP and re-tighten the quick-release T-handle to secure the applicator
in place.
NOTE
When using Applicator PN 567200-2 (originally intended for use with AMP-O-
LECTRIC Model “K" terminating machine),
loosen the quick-release T-handle, slide down the applicator base clamp, and remove the rear stop located on the left side of
the base plate. Install the rear stop (PN 354561-1), supplied with the air feed kit, at the alternate mounting position on the
base plate. See Figure 5.
