The DeLuxe Stitcher M19 Stitcher Machine is a single-head stitcher designed to accommodate both light and heavy-duty work, stitch both flat and saddle and is recognized for being the perfect stitcher for the smaller bindery due in part to its 3/4” (20mm) capacity and range of crown sizes.

The M19 accommodates both the Traditional Style 18D Head and the Side-Feed Style G20 Stitcher Head. Because either Head can be used the recommended wire sizes for the M19 are: 20 to 28 gauge round wire and 19x21-1/2, 20x24 and 21x25 flat wire. When ordering extra Heads, add the wire and crown size to the Head part number. For example: G20BHD20241/2.

18001BHD.............................................................. M19AST and M19BST G20BHD......................................................... M19G20AST and M19G20 BST

The M19 is easily adjusted from saddle work to flat work by tilting the 5-1/2” (14cm) x 26” (66cm) work table. An adjustable work guide and adjustable work stops are easily attached to the work table and provide for accurate registering of flat work for uniformly spacing the stitches. In addition a work table extension is provided to accommodate larger format work.

The M19 is foot-switch operated and belt driven by a 1/2 HP motor, making possible cycle speeds up to 200 stitches per minute. The motor is mounted on an adjustable bracket which can be raised or lowered to adjust driving belt tension. The driving mechanism is thoroughly shielded, preventing the possibility of personal injury.

The M19 has a 14” (36cm) throat depth for either flat or saddle stitching. The work table is approximately 35” (89cm) above the floor and there is approximately 1” (25mm) clearance between the top of the work to be stitched and the protective guarding around the stitcher head.

The M19 weighs 369 lbs. (168 kgs) net and the shipping weight is approximately 396 lbs. (180 kgs). With the table installed, the M19 requires about 33” (84cm) x 29” (74cm) of floor space.

Because of the length of the work table, the M19 must be secured to the floor to meet CE stability requirements. Sound level readings at the normal operator position are approximately 70 dB.

! WARNING

Some assembly is required upon delivery of the M19 Stitcher. You will need a flat screwdriver and a 9/16” open end wrench. Remove the packing materials from around the M19 and all contents from the shipping boxes. Mount the Spool Bracket (G30144) to the outside of the Left Guard (G30143) with two

  1. Hex Head Cap Screws (UA1420.1), through two (2) Plain Washers (CB718) and two (2) Lock Washers (CB371A). Locate the Spool Stud (7693) and remove the Hex Nut (D30541F), Washer (PW38) and Lock Washer (CB889) from the one end. Insert the threaded end of the Spool Stud into Spool Bar Bracket.

Replace the Washers and Hex Nut. Loosen the Thumb Screw (P2731) in the Set Collar (7691) to remove it and the Tension Spring (7690) from the Spool Stud. Slide the Wire Spool over the Spool Stud, making

Page 8 of 48

DeLuxe M19G20-AST 3/4" Wire Stitcher with G20 Stitch Head User Manual, page 9
Text on page 9

sure that the Flat Washer (PG10271) is between the Spool and the Wire Spool Bracket. Also verify that the wire payoff is identical to the payoff in Figure 1; from left to right. Improper wire payoff will result in poor stitching. Slip the Plastic Washer (M11009) over the Spool Stud and replace the Tension Spring and Set Collar. Apply slight pressure on the Set Collar, pre-loading the Tension Spring, then tighten the Thumb Screw in the Set Collar until secured. Mount the Wire Guide Spring (15150A or G20286A) in the Wire Guide Spring Bracket (15154 or G20278AA). A properly set Tension Spring will cause the Wire Guide Spring to flex but not actually hit the wire spool. The Tension Spring is designed to prevent the Wire Spool from over-running and tangling.

Loosen the two (2) Set Screws (38) in the bottom of the Complete Table Assembly (K1033) and pull the two (2) Pins (203B) in the Table out to each side. Center the Table Assembly over the Clincher Mount Assembly and make sure the Table Support (7648) is under the pin on the Table Support Bracket (7645A). Push the two (2) Pins from the Table into the Mount Assembly until they click. Tighten the two (2) Set Screws to further secure the Table to the M19. Make sure the Table converts from the flat to saddle position when the Table Support Bracket is activated.

The Work Guide (M7201B) can be attached to the Complete Table Assembly with two (2) Work Guide Screws (63). The two (2) Work Stops (7423) can be secured to the Work Guide by tightening the two

  1. Thumb Screws (425).

Belt Guard Removal and Assembly (Figure 2)

The plastic Belt Guard (7676) must be removed before the M19 can be turned over manually. To remove the Belt Guard, remove the Retaining Screw (G30163) from the top of the Guard (on BST models only). Press on one side tab while prying out the locking face, at the top of the Guard. Next, pull down slightly on the top of the Guard to release the bottom tab. The Guard will now be free to lift off from around the Belt Guard (7675).

G30163

  • BST Models Only

To reassemble, interlock the bottom tab and pull up slightly on the Guard to interlock the side tab, then squeeze the two halves of the Guard together to lock the remaining tab. Reassemble the retaining screw at the top of the Guard (on BST models only).

850731 or 850732

Figure 3 - Turning Machine Manually / Adjusting V-Belt To tighten the V-Belt (850730C) first loosen, but do not remove, the four (4) Hex Nuts (D30541F) on the Motor Mounting Plate (G30048). Tighten the four (4) Hex Nuts again when the V-Belt is taut. If the Belt is not tight enough by force of gravity, wiggle both the Motor Plate and Motor (on the other side of the Stitcher) slightly until it is. Do not press on the Motor arm to make this adjustment as pressing on the Pulley may knock it out of position. The V-Belt should first be tightened after two to three weeks of use and then periodically after that. Moisture, change in temperature as well as wear can affect the tightness of the Belt. Loose Belts can cause the Stitcher to stall and may damage the Belt permanently.

Note: Over tightening the Belt can damage the main bearing on the motor.

The quality and quantity of work that can be stitched on the M19 is dependent upon the operator making the necessary operating adjustments as accurately as possible. The following information and instructions are provided so that the operator will clearly understand how to make the required operating adjustments.

Additional Operator’s Manuals for the stitcher heads supported by the M19 Stitcher are included with the Stitcher itself. Please refer to these manuals for specific instruction and operating adjustments for the individual stitcher heads.

Failure to properly adjust for the compression will severely damage the stitcher.

Adjusting for Thickness of Work (Figure 4)

Unlock the Hand Wheel (G30128) by turning the Adjuster Crank (G30175) on the Adjuster Crank Housing (G30099B) counter-clockwise. Turn the Hand Wheel clockwise until the Adjuster Spool (G30119) is raised sufficiently to allow a sample of work to be inserted between it and the lower Adjuster Stop (G30103).

Note: A sticker located near the Hand Wheel indicates the direction of operation.

G30128 HAND WHEEL

G30119 - THICKNESS GAUGE

Measure work thickness here

The thickness gauge is located on the right-hand side of the machine if you are looking from the front of the stitcher. With the work held flat in a horizontal position, turn the Hand Wheel counter-clockwise until the work is firmly clamped between the Adjuster Spool and the lower Adjuster Stop. Turn the Hand Wheel back clock-

wise just enough to allow the work to be withdrawn from the Adjuster Spool, then return the Hand Wheel to the setting at which the work was clamped.

Anytime the thickness of work changes, a sample should be tested in the M19 so no serious damage is caused to the machine. If the machine is operated on work thicker than it is set to handle, damage will result and the stitcher machine will not operate properly.

If the machine is operated on work thicker than it is set to handle, damage will result.

! WARNING

Recommended Wire Sizes (Figures 5 and 6)

The wire sizes that can be used on the M19 as well as recommended uses are listed below. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for the Stitcher Head on your M19 when changing the existing wire size. The Stitcher Heads are designed to accommodate a specific wire size. Wire gauges smaller than the specific size for the stitcher head can still be used, but the maximum capacity for that head will not be reached. For example, a 19x21-1/2 gauge wire head will function properly with 20x24 gauge wire but the stitching capacity for the Head will drop from 3/4” to approximately 1/2”. Refer to Figure 5.

Two types of Clincher Points are provided with the head on the M19. When running round wire, use the Clincher Points with part number 7257B. When running flat wire, use the Clincher Points with part number 7024B.

When stitching stock over 20# it is recommended that a high tensile wire be used, which is available in Flat Wire 21x25, 20x24 and 19x21-1/2 flat wire sizes. The 7024B high tensile wire may cause increased wear on certain parts. For any stock over 33# or coated stock it is recommended that 19x21-1/2 flat wire be used. Refer to Figure 6 for a general overview of suggested wire sizes to use for specific stitch capacities.

Adjusting the Clinchers (Figures 7 and 8)

If the staples are not clinching properly the Clincher Points (7024B or 7257B) will need to be adjusted within the Clincher Plate (7253A or7650A). Make sure the Table Assembly (K1033) is in a flat work position. If it is not, tilt it back until the Table Support Bracket locks the Table into place. Loosen and remove the two (2) 1/4-20x5/8 Screws (UA4810.5) securing the Clincher Guard (G30113) to the Clincher Mounting Assembly (G30044A). Be careful to also remove the two (2) Lock Washers (CB371A) and Plain Washers (PW10). Check the Clincher Point height by cycling the machine manually and stopping it at the top or highest point of Clincher activation. Loosen the Set Screw (UA1428.1) in the Adjustment Block and rotate the Clincher Slide Adjustment Screw (18186), which raises or lowers the Clincher Slide (18182), to adjust the Clincher Points as needed. Rotating the Screw clockwise lowers the Points, while rotating the Screw counter-clockwise raises the Points.

Tighten the Set Screw and replace the Clincher Guard with the Screws and Washers. Complete the cycle of the machine and test a few stitches. Repeat the previous steps if necessary.

7650A or 7253A

If the stitch clinches properly but the legs are angled away from its crown, the Clincher Plate may not be aligned with the Stitcher Head’s Driver. Refer to both Figure 7 and Figure 8 and the following instructions for directions on centering the Clincher Points.

Although the Clincher Plate alignment is set at the factory, it can be adjusted. With wire threaded through the machine and the compression set to 1/8” turn the machine over manually, but stop as the staple begins to exit the Bender Bar. Loosen the two (2) 1/2-20x1- G30044A 1/4 Screws (G30159) securing the Clincher G30113 Mount Assembly (G30044A) to the M19 Frame. Using this half-formed stitch, line up the legs of the staple with the Clincher Points from back Figure 8 - Adjusting the Clincher Points to front as well as from side to side. Once the legs of the staple are aligned, the Driver will be centered above the Clincher Points and the quality of the stitch will be greatly improved. Tighten the Screws to secure the Clincher Mount Assembly in this position. Complete the machine’s cycle and remove the formed staple so as to not jam the Clincher Points.

For fine adjustments, refer to the Stitcher Head’s Operation Manual. Specifically, refer to the section of the manual which highlights making adjustments to the Leveling Screws on the back of the Stitcher Head.

Adjusting the Work Stops (Figure 9)

The Work Stops, which are included with all M19 Stitchers, ensure consistent placement of stitches time after time. Both types of Stops available perform a different and specific function. Use the Work Guide, set of Work Stops, or both depending on the application at hand.

The Work Guide (M7201B), sometimes referred to as the Back Guide, is controlled by two (2) Work Guide Screws (63). The slots in the rear of the Guide allows free placement of the Stop. Slide the Work Guide back and forth until the the location on the stock being stitched is under the Driver. Once the ideal location is determined, the two (2) Work Guide Screws are tightened and the Guide is locked into place. Two (2) Table Extender Brackets (7659) are attached to the Work Table Assembly (7656A) for additional Work Guide placement. To use these extensions, loosen and remove the two (2) Work Guide Screws and insert them in the Extender Brackets. Slide the Work Guide back and forth until the proper stop location is found and tighten the Screws as before.

The two (2) Work Stops (7423), sometimes referred to as the Side Guides, are controlled by two (2) Thumb Screws (425). Slide each of the two (2) Work Stops along the Work Guide until the desired location on the stock being stitched is under the Driver. Once the perfect position is found, tighten each of the two (2) Thumb Screws.

The following is a brief list of problems and solutions which should cover the majority of situations encountered when stitching with the M19. The quality and quantity of work that can be produced with the M19 Stitcher is dependent upon the operator making all adjustments as accurately as possible and carefully maintaining the machine. The cause of staple imperfections usually can be traced to inaccurate settings or normal wear of moving parts. In these events, the operator can quickly locate the solutions, by referring to the following troubleshooting chart.

Note: Most stitch quality issues are addressed in the Stitcher Head manual.

problem : The machine will not complete a cycle, under power or manually.

solution :

  1. Make sure the compression setting is correct. If not turn the Hand Wheel (G30128) clockwise to raise the stitcher head.
  2. If the V-Belt is too loose it must be tightened.
  3. Make sure none of the Clutch Springs are broken and that the Clutch has not failed. If either are the case, replace the component or the entire assembly.

problem : The machine will not begin a cycle at all.

solution :

  1. Make sure the Interlock Switch Key (850343) on the plastic Head Guard (G30145) is in complete contact with the Safety Interlock Switch (850308) on the Left Guard (G30143).

problem : Stitch quality is poor.

solution :

  1. Refer to the Stitcher Head Operator’s Manuals for more information.
  2. Make sure that the wire is feeding straight from the Wire Spool and through the Stitcher Head.
  3. Make sure the compression setting is correct.
  4. Make sure the Clincher Plates are lined up with the Stitcher Head’s Drivers, both side to side and front to back.
  5. Make sure the Clincher Points are not set too high or too low.
  6. Make sure the left leg of the stitch is same length as the right leg.

problem : Wire is dropped before it can be formed, drawn in inconsistent lengths or is jamming.

solution :

  1. Refer to the Stitcher Head Operator’s Manuals for more information.
  2. Make sure that the wire is feeding straight from the Wire Spool and through the Stitcher Head.
  3. Check for worn parts on both the Stitcher Head and on the M19 itself.
  4. Make sure the Clincher Points are clear of debris and paper build-up.
  5. Make sure the Clutch is set to stop 1/8” prior to top dead center at the end of a cycle.

Your M19 Machine has been fully lubricated at the factory, but regular preventative maintenance will result in superior performance and a longer life of the machine. Machines that are in constant use should be lubricated weekly where as machines that are only operated periodically should be lubricated just prior to use. Usually only a drop of oil is required at each lubrication point. Care must be taken that those parts of the machine that contact work remain free from oil. Refer to the Stitcher Head Operator’s Manuals for more information on the lubrication needs for the individual Stitcher Head on the M19 Stitcher.

Lubricate regularly instead of excessively.

Excessive oiling will result in work becoming oil-spotted. After lubricating the machine, wipe off any excess oil. Use one drop of any standard S.A.E #10 oil in the following lubrication points:

  • the lubrication points for the individual Stitcher Heads. (see specific Stitcher Head Manual)

Figure 10 - Lubrication Points

Page 18 of 48

DeLuxe M19G20-AST 3/4" Wire Stitcher with G20 Stitch Head User Manual, page 19
Text on page 19

High friction areas, on the machine interior, should be lubricated with Red E-Lube Grease or any other Lithium-based grease once a year to prevent the areas from drying out. Remove the Screws (UA4810.5), securing the Left Side Cover Plate (G30002) to expose the internal assemblies. Apply Grease in the following areas:

  • the Bender Cam Assembly (G30066A)
  • the Crank Shaft Assembly (G30007A)
  • the Cam Guide (G30025)

In time, you may need to replace some parts of the M19 Stitcher Machine. To do this locate the DeLuxe/Bostitch part number in one of the following diagrams and contact your Graphic Arts Representative to order the replacement by part number, description and quantity.

Always disconnect the power supply before making any adjustments or servicing the stitcher.

! WARNING

The operator should periodically inspect all moving parts for signs of wear and when required, replace those worn parts. For a complete list of common stitcher head wear parts, refer to the Operator’s Manual of the specific head.

Mounting & Removing Heads

The M19 Stitcher Machine is a single-head Stitcher Machine. But the time may come when a replacement Head may have to be added or removed from the stitcher. The following are guidelines for mounting and removing both an 18D and a G20 Stitcher Head to or from the M19.

To mount an 18D Stitcher Head on the M19: Slip two (2) Bonnet Binder Stud Pins (G30148), through two (2) Bonnet Binder Studs (2609) at both the top and bottom of the 18D Head. Position the Bender and Driving Slides of the 18D approximately where they will align with the Bender Plate and Driver Plate Adapters on the M19. Insert the Binder Stud, in the bottom of the 18D Head, into the lower hole of the Face Plate Adapter (G30026) on the M19 Stitcher. Start one (1) Bonnet Stud Nut (HN1213) on the Binder Stud to steady the bottom of the Head; just tight enough so the Bender Slide does not slip off the Bender Plate Adapter. The Bender and Driving Slides may have to be adjusted manually to match up with the Adapters on the M19. Insert the Binder Stud, in the top of the 18D Head, into the upper hole of the Face Plate Adapter. Before starting the second Bonnet Stud Nut, make sure the Head’s Face Plate Adjusting Slide aligns with the Driver Plate Adapter on the M19. A screwdriver used as a lever between the Driving and Adjusting Slides will facilitate the action. Completely tighten both the Bonnet Stud Nuts with a 3/4” Wrench.

To mount a G20 Stitcher Head on the M19: Slip two (2) Rear Clamp Pins (G20376) through two (2) Rear Mounting Bolts (G20341) at both the top and bottom of the G20 Head. Position the Bender Slide and Feed Slide Block of the G20 approximately where they will align with the Bender Plate and Driver Plate Adapters on the M19. Insert the Binder Stud in the bottom of the G20 Head into the lower hole of the Face Plate Adapter (G30026) on the M19 Stitcher. Start one (1) Bonnet Stud Nut (HN1213) on the Rear Mounting Bolt to steady the bottom of the Head; just tight enough so the Bender Slide does not slip off Bender Plate Adapter. The Bender Slide and Adjustment Block may have to be adjusted manually to match up with the M19. Insert the Binder Stud, in the top of the G20 Head, into the upper hole of the Face Plate Adapter. Before starting the second Bonnet Stud Nut, make sure the Head’s Face Plate Adjustment Block aligns with the Driver Plate Adapter on the M19. A screwdriver used as a lever between the Driving Slide and Feed Slide Block will facilitate the action. Completely tighten both the Bonnet Stud Nuts with a 3/4” Wrench. The Clincher Plate Assemblies can now be aligned with the Stitcher Head, see pages 13-14 for more details.

To remove a Stitcher Head from the M19: While completely supporting the Stitcher Head, loosen and remove the two (2) Bonnet Stud Nuts until the Stitcher Head is released from the M19. Lift the Head off the M19 and set aside.

Clutch and Brake Springs

With the brake engaged (full limit of output), the input hub should be free to rotate by hand. With the clutch engaged, the input and output hubs should rotate together. If the unit does not rotate in either of these modes, the clearance between the hubs of the unit on the shaft may have been disturbed or damaged. See Assembly/Disassembly instructions for re-adjusting.

Listed below are additional checks to be made if the clutch does not function correctly. Refer to Figure 12 for details.

To disassemble the Clutch-Brake unit (850677 or 850678) it will be necessary to remove the Drive Pulley (7678B) from the stitcher by removing the V-Belt (850730C), Retaining Ring (P7863), and Clutch Anchor Screw (7681). Disconnect the Ground and Solenoid wires, and swing the Clutch Anchor (FC9656A) clear of the Drive Pulley Assembly and slide it off of the Drive Shaft. Remove the three (3) Screws (UA4812.7) connecting the Drive Pulley to the Clutch-Brake unit.

When disassembling the Clutch-Brake unit, always mark the Spring Tang locations with reference to which slots they go in if the same Springs are to be used for reassembly. To disassemble the Clutch-Brake unit, proceed as follows:

Release the Actuator Lever so that the Clutch is engaged and the Brake is released. Remove the Retaining Ring and the Shim Washer, if any, from the Input Hub (851321) end. Remove the Input Hub by rotating opposite to the drive direction. Remove the Retaining Ring and the Shim Washer, if any, from the Mounting Plate end.

Remove the Output Shaft Springs and the Control Collar (850888) Assembly by rotating the Output Shaft (850891) in the drive direction. (Do not disassemble the Brake Hub (850892) from the Mounting Plate (850890). Remove the Control Collar from the Output Shaft and the Spring Assembly by extracting toward the Brake Spring end.

Replace the Clutch (850889), Brake (850889) and Anti-Back (850962) Springs as required. Assemble the Springs concentric and square to the Output Shaft.(850891) Assemble the Control Collar over the Output Shaft and Spring Assembly by inserting it from the Brake Spring End (it will be necessary to extend the Brake Springs using long nose pliers.) Place the Brake Spring Tang in any one (1) of the nine (9) Control Collar slots at random.

Assemble the Output Shaft, Springs and Control Collar assembly to the Mounting Plate Assembly by rotating the Output Shaft in the drive direction. Assemble the Retaining Ring (850886) to the Output Shaft at the Mounting Plate end (the smooth surface facing the Brake Hub.) Check the end play between the Hub and the Retaining Ring with a feeler gauge. There should be 0.004” to 0.010” end play. Use a Shim Washer to adjust if necessary.

Rotate the Output Shaft in the drive direction until it reaches a full brake position. With the Clutch Spring Tang NOT in slot, insert the Input Hub (851321) by rotating opposite to the drive direction. Select one (1) of ten (10) Control Collar slots for the Clutch Spring Tang that will provide a 0.38” to 0.50” circumferential overtravel of the Control Collar when released.

Page 23 of 48

Text on page 24

Note: At this point it may be necessary to reselect one (1) of the nine (9) Control Collar slots for the Brake Spring Tang (release Actuator Lever, remove the Clutch Spring tang from the slot, then move Control Collar axially toward the Input Hub end and rotate it opposite to the drive direction to pick up the next slot). Continue to select Control Collar slots until the 0.38" to 0.50" specification is achieved.

Assemble the Retaining Ring to the Output Shaft at the Input Hub end (the smooth surface facing the Input Hub). Check the end play between the Input Hub and the Retaining Ring with feeler gauge. There should be 0.002" to 0.003" end play on the Input Hub.

Reassemble the unit to the machine.

Note: After the Clutch is assembled to the machine, the Clutch Plate should be free to float on bearing - the Anchor Strap is only there to prevent rotation of the plate.

The clutch-brake unit is designed with the bearing parts made from sintered metal that has been impregnated with oil and normally do not need to be re-lubricated. In cases where there is severe duty, the unit may be re-oiled or flushed out with minimal or no disassembly by using a light bearing oil as used in manufacture (Shell Bearing Infusion Oil #33). If disassembly of the unit for cleaning and oiling is necessary, follow the detailed disassembly instructions to the point needed, flush and wipe parts in the oil to be used for re-lubrication. Do not use solvents to clean the parts. To get more cleaning action for the oil, it may be heated while cleaning the components, but bring the parts back to ambient temperature submerged in cool oil.

Place the spring onto the plunger with the narrow end towards the actuator. Slide the solenoid onto the actuator and plate assembly. Assemble the solenoid to the plate assembly with the cap screws and washers. Do not tighten more than finger tight.

Energize the coil and adjust the gap between the actuator and the top of the collar stop to 0.015" to 0.030" by sliding the solenoid assembly. Note: push the collar toward the actuator to allow for collar movement. Tighten the cap screws.

Control Collar Adjustment (Figure 14)

The stopping position of the head can be changed if necessary by adjusting the position of the stop cam on the control collar sleeve. Turn the machine manually until the driver is in the desired stopping position, the proceed as follows:

Work the Retaining Ring out of its groove and slide it forward on the Drive Sleeve. Slide the cam of the Control Collar Assembly (850888) off of the splines, rotate to align the collar stop with the actuator and slide the cam back on the splines. The actuator pawl will have to be held clear during this operation. Slide the retaining ring back into its groove.

Make sure brake is locked up before proceeding, to insure the proper stop point.

Quick start

  1. Mount the Spool Bracket to the Left Guard, install the Spool Stud and slide on the Wire Spool, checking the wire payoff matches Figure 1.
  2. Replace the Tension Spring and Set Collar, pre-load the spring and tighten the Thumb Screw; mount the Wire Guide Spring.
  3. Center the Table Assembly over the Clincher Mount, push in the two Pins until they click and tighten the Set Screws.
  4. Attach the Work Guide and Work Stops to the table.
  5. Set the machine for the thickness of your work with the Hand Wheel and thickness gauge, and test a sample.
  6. Use clincher points 7257B for round wire or 7024B for flat wire, then operate with the foot switch.

Troubleshooting

ProblemLikely causeFix (from the manual)
Stitcher stalls or hesitates during operationThe V-belt is loose.Disconnect power, loosen the four hex nuts on the motor mounting plate, let the belt become taut and retighten the nuts. Do not over-tighten. Page 10
Poor stitchingImproper wire payoff from the spool.Check that the wire payoff matches Figure 1, from left to right. Page 9
Wire spool over-runs and tanglesTension Spring not set correctly.Pre-load the Tension Spring with the Set Collar so the Wire Guide Spring flexes but does not hit the spool. Page 9
Staples are not clinching properlyClincher Point height needs adjustment.With the table flat, cycle the machine manually to the top of clincher activation, loosen the set screw and turn the Clincher Slide Adjustment Screw (clockwise lowers, counter-clockwise raises). Page 14
Stitcher will not operateThe front guard is not closed properly.Close the front guard; the stitcher will not run without it. Page 3

Frequently asked questions

What is the stitching capacity of the M19?

Two sheets to 3/4" (20 mm) at 20# paper stock, with a 14" throat depth for flat or saddle stitching (page 6).

What wire sizes does it use?

20 to 28 gauge round wire and 19x21-1/2, 20x24 and 21x25 flat wire. For stock over 33# or coated stock, 19x21-1/2 flat wire is recommended (page 5, page 12).

How fast does it stitch?

Up to 200 stitches per minute, driven by a 1/2 HP motor (page 5).

How often should the V-belt be tightened?

First after two to three weeks of use, then periodically. Over-tightening can damage the motor's main bearing (page 10).

What is the warranty?

90 days from the date of purchase against defects in material and workmanship, for the original retail purchaser (page 45).
