IF THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CORRECT, YOU ARE NOW READY TO MAKE PERFECT BOUND
BOOKS. IF NOT, THIS IS HOW TO ADJUST THE NIPPER TABLE.
• Remove the nipper table from the machine by lifting it directly upwards.
• There have been two styles of locking nuts used on the Bind-Fast 5. The adjusting procedure
varies from each, so you mu
st determine which type is used on your machine.
For machines using KEP nuts (lock washers attached), loosen the nuts and re-tighten the
m
finger tight.
For machines using elastic stop nuts (plastic locking in
sert), loosen each nut 1/6 turn or 1
flat of the nut.
• Replace the nipper table.
• Move the table left to its raised position and secure by using
a 1-inch thick piece between the
table and the tank.
• Pull the handle to close the nipper blades. Adjust them until they just touch, and leave them
closed.
• Place the adjusting gauge lab
eled “Table Height” onto the carriage rails over the right side of
the nipper table. Using the side of the gauge labeled “Tank End” lower the bearings at the end
of the table, then raise them until there is .01 inch between the gauge and the table. Move the
gauge to the end of the table and use the side of the gauge labeled "Machine End”. Raise these
bearings, and then lower them until there is .01 inch between the gauge and the inside bottom of
the rails (use.01 inch thick feeler gauge or 3 pieces of 20-lb. paper).
• Remove the table and tighten the bearing nuts firmly (do not over tighten).
• Leaving the nuts tightened and using the correct side of the gauge for each end of the table,
proceed as follows: Raise the table end neares
t the tank until it just touches the gaug
e. At the
other end of the table, near the end of the machine lower the table until the gauge just touches
the inside bottoms of the rails. This will help ensure that the table is not raised or lowered too
far. Remember that an adjustment on one end effects the other end, so you can avoid a “see-
saw” effect by adjusting in small increments.
• With the table raised and adjusted, tap near the left rear bearing and right front bearing with
your finger. If there is a clicking, the table bearings are not level. Raise the right front bearing
until it is no longer noticeable.
