Figure 2 - Work Thickness Adjustment CAUTION If the Machine is operated on work thicker than is set to handle, damage will result and the Stitcher will not operate properly.
Raising or Lowering the Clinchers (See Figure 3) WARNING Always disconnect the power supply before making any adjustments or servicing the stitcher. If staples are being loosely clinched, requiring that the clinchers be raised or lowered, proceed as follows: Remove the clincher guard (1) . Loosen the clincher adjustment binder screw (2). Rotate the clincher adjustment screw (3) to raise or lower the clincher points as needed.
Maintenance To insure continuous operation of the M2 Stitcher, the operator should be sure that the machine is regularly lubricated and carefully maintained. The operator should periodically inspect all moving parts for signs of wear and, when required, replace the worn parts. The following instructions are provided so that the operator will understand how to lubricate the machine, and how to adjust the clutch.

Clutch-Brake Maintenance WARNING Always disconnect the power supply before making any adjustments or servicing the stitcher. This stitcher is equipped with a solenoid actuated, continuous trip, wrap spring clutch-brake unit. It is a dependable device and seldom needs service. But should a malfunction occur, the following information is a service and troubleshooting guide for maintenance of this unit.
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.
Disassembly (See Figure 5) WARNING Always disconnect the power supply before making any adjustments or servicing the stitcher To disassemble the clutch-brake unit (124) it will first be necessary to remove the drive pulley (125) from the stitcher by removing the V-belt (30), retaining ring (51), and clutch anchor screw (27). Disconnect the ground and solenoid wires, and swing the anchor strap (24) clear of the drive pulley assembly and slide it off of the drive shaft.

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 Clutch Spring Tang from 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).
Lubrication 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).
