Rear Shear Adjustment
The rear shear is more likely to need adjustment because it is affected by differences in terminal strip
widths and strip guide plate adjustments.
1. From the bottom of the base plate, loosen the two screws that hold the rear shear holder to the base
plate.
2. With the terminal strip inserted into the applicator, and the lead terminal centered over the anvil, move
the rear shear holder in the direction required to obtain the proper cutoff tab.
3. Check that the shear is square to the end of the terminal, and then tighten the holding screws.
4. Depress the floating shear, and check for proper shearing action and proper cutoff tab.
5. If necessary, repeat steps 1 through 4, or check for worn or damaged tooling.
5.7. Carrier Strip Cut or No-Cut Setup
The shear holder can be set for the carrier strip to be cut or not cut. For the no-cut orientation, remove the
carrier strip cutting blade, and mount it to the rear of the applicator housing storage location. See Figure 9.
If it is set to cut, check that the cutting blade is present and in the proper orientation on the shear holder.
5.8. Applicator Hold-Down Setup
For proper terminal hold-down setup, refer to Instruction Sheet 408-35001.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
These procedures cover the applicator parts which most often need replacement or repair because of wear.
Proceed with the following:
NOTE
Make sure to order replacements for parts that were used from the spare parts stock so that they will be available when
needed.
1. Remove the applicator from the machine before performing any maintenance work.
DANGER
Before taking the applicator out of the machine, make sure that the power to machine is turned “off” and the power cord is
disconnected. The machine ram should be in the raised position.
2. Refer to the exploded view drawing on the applicator log and the parts list packaged with the
applicator for identification of parts.
3. Wipe the parts with a clean, dry cloth as they are removed from the applicator. Then, when putting
them back into applicator, wipe the mating surfaces with your fingers to make sure that all lint and
other foreign matter have been removed.
6.2. Anvil Replacement
1. From the bottom of the base plate, remove the screw that holds the anvil to the base plate.
2. Remove the anvil from the groove in the top of the base plate.
3. Install the anvil using the reverse of the installation procedure. If a new anvil is needed, be sure the
part number of the new anvil agrees with the number on the applicator parts list.
NOTE
When the anvil is replaced, the front shear and holder must be re-aligned. See Paragraph 5.6.
4. Re-align the crimpers as described in Paragraph 6.7, Applicator Housing to Base Plate Alignment.
6.3. Floating Shear Replacement
It is not necessary to remove the shear holder(s) to replace the floating shear(s). Before removing the floating
shear(s), note the orientation for re-installation. The floating shears are spring-loaded, so exercise caution
during removal.
