9. Inspect the new shim for any burrs or rough edges. Using 400 grit paper on a flat
surface, sand as required to insure flatness.
10. Re-attach shim and die plate to the body, keeping the screws loose.
11. Hold a flat bar (steel or aluminum) against the leading edge of the extruder. This will
align the shim to the die plate and the die adapter. All components must be parallel
for the entire length of the assembly. Tighten the screws to hold the components
together. Remove the flat bar.
12. If required, wrap a piece of 400 grit sandpaper around a flat file and, going from end
to end, sand the entire leading edge surface to remove any shim edges that are not
in parallel with the die plate and die adapter.
After finishing the maintenance or repair works:
Remove all materials and tools used during the repair or maintenance from the
workspace of the unit.
Connect the voltage supply and the compressed air supply. Heat the unit up. Wait until
all temperatures are within the tolerances and the adhesive in the hopper is molten
completely.
Test the applicator for proper performance. Adjust as required.
