cut off to prevent projection or tangling.
16. Carefully clip the lead edge of the wire with the wire cutters. Make sure to remove any
bent or twisted wire.

into the plastic tubing until the wire extends from the Stitcher plug. Continue to feed the
wire until the wire hits the backplate of the measuring bracket.
