Common Spool Damage

The wire on the spool may become damaged when not properly
handled. This may cause jams in eWire. In this section there are
examples of common issues you may see on a spool. Any
damaged wire must be removed using the wire cutters provide.
They are located on the inside of the element feeder door. When
cutting the wire, cut the wire in the center of the larger loop as

Cutting Wire
When part of the spool of wire is damaged, it must be removed
using the wire cutters provide. They are located on the inside of
the element feeder door. When cutting the wire, cut the wire in
the center of the larger loop as shown below. Excess paper can

Stretched Wire
Wire can become stretched when installing or removing a spool
from the machine, it may also become stretched due to wire jams.
