INTRODUCTION
The Ideal Stitcher S13 and S25 Stitchers are precision built machines designed for high speed metal stitching. These stitchers will
deliver efficient, dependable service when used correctly and with care. As with any fine machine, for best performance the manufac-
turer's instructions must be followed. Please study this manual before operating the stitcher and understand the safety warnings and cau-
tions. The instructions on installation, operation and maintenance should be read carefully and the manual kept for reference. NOTE-
Additional safety measures may be required because of your particular application. Contact your Ideal Stitcher representative or distrib
utor with any questions concerning the stitcher and its use. For stitcher head problems, refer to SA486S, Operation and Maintenance
manual for model BH Series wire stitcher heads.

INSTALLATION
The machine may be seriously damaged during installation if not properly set up; therefore, comply with the following procedure.
After uncrating machine, examine for any breakage in transit. If any, do not attempt to run machine but report at once to the carrier
and selling agent.
Examine name plate on motor and see that specifications are the same as those of the power supply. IF NOT, DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE THE MACHINE.
Place machine on a level floor. Shim under base to prevent any movement or rocking.
Lower clincher to at least 2" (50.8mm) below the stitcher head (see Clincher Adjustment instructions, this page).
Be sure that the machine is oiled thoroughly before operating (refer to Lubrication instructions).
Connect motor cord to power outlet and start motor. See that it runs freely, without undue noise, and that the large pulley rotates
counter-clockwise as viewed from the rear of the machine. If it rotates clockwise, motor wiring should be re-connected by an electrician
in order to reverse direction of rotation.
A WARNING: Always turn off the power supply before making adjustments or servicing these stitchers.
To remove the plastic belt guard, press in on one side tab while prying out locking face. This will release the first tab. Next, pull
down slightly on top of guard to release bottom tab. Guard will now be free to lift off remaining tabs on mounting plate.
To reassemble, interlock the top tab and one side tab. Pull down slightly on top of guard to interlock bottom tab, then squeeze moun-
ting plate and guard together to lock remaining tab, completing assembly.
OPERATION
A WARNING: Always turn off the power supply before making adjustments or servicing these stitchers.
Press foot switch to start machine operation. Start and stop several times.
Stop motor and turn pulley by hand (see Turning Machine Manually, page 4) until driver is at lowest point.
With driver in lowest position and work to be stitched under it, raise clincher bracket or arm until work is held firmly. Then lock bracket
or arm in position.
Place a spool of proper size wire on spoolholder, the wire leading to the left from top of spool, then tighten spoolholder spindle jam
nut enough to give a slight drag to the rotation of spool to prevent wire uncoiling.
If too tight, the wire will bind and catch between coils thus causing uneven staple legs. If too loose, the spool may unwind,
causing snags.
Cut binding wires on wire coil and bend back over edge of spool, holding free end of wire to prevent unwinding and tangling. Cut
off bent and twisted end of wire, then straighten out about 6". The end of the wire to be inserted in machine must be as straight as possible.
Open wire feed gears by raising idler feed gear throwout handle and insert end of wire through eye on upper end of the spring wire
guide. Enter the end of the wire into the upper wire tube, push down between the wire feed gears, then through the lower wire tube
and between wire straightener rolls. Push it into hole in the stationary cutter, raising the end of the wire slightly if necessary for proper
entrance, then turn down the idler feed gear throwout handle to engage the feed gears.
A WARNING: Never operate this stitcher with wire feeding and no stock above the clinchers.
Start motor and drive a few stitches into material and, if necessary, adjust clincher height to get desired tightness of clinching. See
instructions for adjusting clincher.
Adjust for proper length of wire by loosening lock screw and moving wire feed guard casting to right or left along gauge marks on
upper part of head casting. Moving to left reduces wire draw while moving to right increases it. When proper length of wire is drawn,
tighten lock screw.
Drive several rows of stitches into material to be used, examine crown and legs. If not satisfactory adjust machine in accordance
with directions given hereafter.
ADJUSTMENTS
A WARNING: Always turn off the power supply before making adjustments or servicing this stitcher.

(j) Assemble retaining ring to output shaft at the input Solenoid
hub end (smooth surface facing input hub). Check
end play between input hub and retaining ring with
feeler gauge. There should be only .002" to .006"
end play on input hub.
(k) Reassemble unit to machine.
IMPORTANT: When reassembling clutch to machine, after
anchor bracket is secure, there should be no binding
between the pin of anchor bracket and hole of clutch plate.
Plate must be free to float on pin to prevent any binding or
thrust load on rear clutch bearing. If this occurs, loosen
anchor bracket screw and adjust bracket until pin is free in
hole. Pin is only to prevent plate rotation.
