WS- 260 WIRE STRIPPING MACHINE
6
LEFT MULTI-BLADE COMPONENTS
Ø This side has two primary adjusting points. The main way is though the four T-bolts.
These are the black bolts on the top of the machine that have a locking wing nut.
These T-bolts are used to tighten or loosen the springs that control the upper cutting
assembly. Essentially these are used to cut deeper or shallower into wire jackets. If
you are not able to put a piece of wire in a channel (and have already tried to run it
through larger channels), it may be necessary to loosen the T-bolt.
o It is not uncommon for users to over-tighten these T-bolts thinking they need
more spring tension, when in reality they just needed to strip down a cutting
channel.
o Generally if you’re cutting in the right channel a full turn of the T-bolt (either
tighter or looser) is all that is needed.
Ø The secondary adjusting point on this machine is the side centering bolts. These are
the bolts with lock nuts on them located on the side of both bearing housings that
adjust the top cutting assembly from right to left.
o It is generally not recommended to adjust these bolts unless the smallest
channel cutting blades are not centered in the cutting channel. To access
this, the user will look down the smallest left channels and visually gauge if
the blades are centered. If these centering bolts have too much play in them,
the entire cutting channel can move too much from right to left during running
wire.
