8.4. Shear Pin Replacement
(Figure 29)
The tape release lever should remain in the down position at all times, except when loading or unloading tape
or replacing dies. If the machine is hand–cycled with the tape–release lever in the up position, the shear pin will
be broken to prevent more extensive damage to the machine. The operation of the machine is not affected by
a broken shear pin, except that the moving (upper) die will not move up when the tape release lever is raised.
Replace the shear pin as follows:
To avoid personal injury, turn off" the machine and disconnect the machine from the power supplies.
1. Remove the front guard, and lower the tape release lever.
2. Drive the remaining portion of the shear pin from the die holder.
BE SURE broken portion of shear pin does not drop into the indexing mechanism.
3. Insert a new shear pin into the upper die holder, tapered end first. The undercut portion of the shear
pin should be flush with the side of the upper die holder, as shown.
