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.

4. 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 Paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4).
4.2. Applicator Installation
Machines –1 and –5 require the use of a hex wrench to change applicators. Since these machines have a
universal base plate, they can be configured to use AMP, JAM, or JST applicators.
Machines –4 (intended for use with JAM applicators and have a quick–change base plate) do not require tools
to change applicators. This base plate features a swing handle used to install and remove the applicator.
The following instructions apply to Machines –2, –3, –6, and –7 (intended for use with AMP applicators and
have a quick–change base plate). Install the applicator in the base plate as follows:
If the machine is equipped with a precision adjustment feature, make 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.
Applicators from AMP-O-LECTRIC ModelK" terminating machine and ModelT" terminating machine can be used in
the machine by using a specialreplacement cam. Refer to Figure 3.
1. Loosen the quick–release T–handle (see Figure 5), and slide the applicator base clamp down.
