Chapter 1 Introduction This manual provides all of the information required to install, operate, troubleshoot, and service the ® Avery Dennison ST9500 Plastic Staple Attacher. The ST9500 fastens garment size, pricing, and brand-name tags to fabrics by ® inserting Plastic Staple fasteners through the tag and the underlying fabric.
Chapter 2 Installation The chapter describes how to install the ST9500. □ Unpacking the ST9500 □ Mounting the ST9500 □ Setting up the ST9500 for operation...
Visually inspect the ST9500 and the shipping materials for damage. □ If the ST9500 is damaged, notify Avery Dennison immediately. □ If the shipping box is also damaged, notify the freight carrier as well as Avery Dennison, and save the shipping materials for the carrier to inspect.
With the base rotated, the ST9500 will not stand unsupported without tipping. 2. Position the ST9500 on the work surface and mark the location of the four mounting holes in the base. 3. Drill four mounting holes in the work surface for the mounting bolts.
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position (0), then plug the power cord into the power cord receptacle on the ST9500. Power cord receptacle on the left...

Super Administrator Password: If you forgot the password, please contact Avery Dennison. 4.5 Password Change: You may change the password by following the display instructions.
Adjusting Needle Spacing 1. Open the front door. 2. Turn the Knob and adjust the space between the two needles. When you adjust the needle spacing, please make sure that the Ejector Rods move according to the needles, if the Ejector Rods do not move then there might be some friction with the Ejector Rod guide at the top.
Double Shot Mode and Single Shot Mode Switch 1. Open the front door. 2. Use a screw driver to loose the Mode Switch Knob; 3. Use the Mode Switch Knob to switch the shot mode between double shot and single shot. In double shot mode, the machine feeds two pieces of staples at a cycle, while in single shot mode the machine feeds one piece of staple at a cycle.
Check that the reel rotates freely. 4. Cut the end of fasteners half way between two rungs. 5. Feed the fasteners through the upper slot on the front of the ST9500 (refer to the fastener feed diagram inside the front door, if necessary).
Page 21
6. Feed the fasteners into the plastic guide above the feed wheel. 7. Feed the fasteners down behind the feed wheel. 8. Turn the feed knob clockwise to advance the fasteners down through the knife block. 9. Continue turning the feed knob until the knife is centered between two fastener rungs.
Adjusting the Fastener Cut If the knife is not centered between two fastener rungs, you must adjust the fasteners position. 1. Loose the nut, screw in or out to adjust the adjusting screw. Then lock the nut after adjustment. 2. Feed the fasteners and cut, and check if the fasteners are cut properly now at midway. 3.
The front door is equipped with an electrical interlock switch that disables power of motor when the door is opened. The door must be completely closed to operate the ST9500. Reposition the garment for the next fastener and press the foot pedal.
Inspecting the Fastener Cut 1. Inspect the fastener to see if it is inserted into the fabric correctly. Adjust the fastener cut if necessary (see page 19).
Chapter 4 Theory of Operation This chapter describes the operating principles of the ST9500. You should read this chapter if you are responsible for troubleshooting and repairing the ST9500.
Panel, Footswitch and Sensors, LED lighting etc. ST9500 switching power provides the power supply for all the machine, the switching powers operates on wide range of AC voltage 110 ~ 240VAC, 50/60Hz, you do not need any transformer if the industrial power supply is within the range of 110 ~ 240VAC, 50/60Hz.
The ST9500 Cycle ® The ST9500 inserts one or two Plastic Staple fastener(s) each cycle. Typically, the fastener attaches a ticket to a piece of fabric. How many cycles per press of the footswitch would the motor run? It depends on the settings of the cycle mode.
Page 28
□ After the Head goes all the way down to the bottom, it turns to go up; when the head comes up , the feed pawl engages the ratchet on the feed wheel, advancing one or two (depends on setting) new fastener(s) into the cut position.
