7. Spool and Supply Chute Adjusting the Supply Chute
The supply chute is designed to be used in three different positions (see figure 7-1). The upper position
is for larger size wire -1” and 1 ¼”. The middle position is for medium sizes 9/16” through 7/8’. The
lower position is for the small size wire - ¼” through ½”. The smaller sizes need more weight inside the
supply chute to prevent the wire from unspooling on the bottom side of the spool. On the other hand,
the larger and medium sizes will stretch too much, causing misfeeds in the feed area if left in the lower
position.
For the Small and Medium Sizes:
1. Loosen the handle and slide the storage chute to the required position.
2. Tighten the handle to secure the storage chute.
For the Larger Sizes:
1. Remove the right and left -hand supply chute brackets and replace them with brackets
#4270035 and #4270036, which are, include with the machine.
2. Fasten the right hand bracket to the upper mounting hole (see figure 7-1).
3. On the left side, swing the supply chute adjustment bracket over and fasten the left bracket as
shown in figure 7-1.
