CORD TRIM ADJUSTMENTS

Adjustment of the Shear Sets

The Cord Trim shears are designed like a pair of scissors. The edge must cross over each other. However,
too much cross-over will cause the machine to malfunction, thus damaging key parts. For this reason, it is
imperative that the correct adjustment be maintained.

Installation of shears to clamp plates

1. Holding the clamp plate, insert spring A into the circle cut-out area of the clamp plate.
2. Place lower shear B over the spring. Place upper shear C on top of the lower. Insert shoulder screw D in
the circle cut-out area of the clamp plate through the upper and lower shears and spring. Turn the upper
and lower shears to ensure shoulder screw has gone through all the parts without binding.
NOTE: Add a few drops of oil during step 2.
3. Tighten screw D and attach springs E to the outside edges of the upper and lower shears.
4. Turn the clamp plate over and install nut F onto screw D. Using your fingers, turn nut as far as it will
turn, without tightening.
5. Turn clamp plate top up, facing forward, using your thumb to move actuator G to the left to close the
shears.
6. If the shears are locked into position, turn screw D just enough to allow shears to open. Once this has
occurred, turn the screw counterclockwise approximately 1/4 of a turn.
7. Turn plate over; holding screw D in place not allowing it to turn, tighten nut F. Re-check shears to
ensure that they cross over each other, and return to the open position. This is done by repeating step 5.
8. Install the cover plate. Re-check shears once again to ensure they cross over each other, and return to
the open position. If they do not cross over and return to the open position, repeat step 6.
