B. Common Spool Problems The wire on the spool may become damaged when not properly handled. In this section there are examples of common issues you may see on a spool. Cutting Wire When part of the spool of wire is damaged, it must be removed using the wire cutters provide. They are located on the inside of the element feeder door. When cutting the wire, cut the wire in the center of the larger loop as shown below. Excess paper can then be removed, leaving 12 inches (30 cm) past the new end of the wire. WIRE BINDER G1 GB Tangled Wire If the spool is stored without the wire properly secured with the magnet strips, the wire may become entangled. This can be fixed by carefully separating the entangled rows. Once untangled, check that no other damage is present before using this spool. Loose Element The BINDER G1 will prompt the user to clear extra elements from 3b after a stoppage occurs. If this is not done the element may fall into the element feeder area and cause a wire jam to occur. The wire could fall on top of the spool as shown below. If this occurs, carefully remove the loose element and check the spool for damage. Stretched Wire Wire can become stretched when installing or removing a spool from the machine, it may also become stretched due to wire jams. If any length of wire is stretched like shown below, use the wire cutters provided to cut that section off. Wire is considered stretched if the loops are no longer parallel to each other. The wire outlined in red is an example of stretched wire. The wire may fall to the bottom of the element drawer. If this occurs remove the wire and check for a double loop as discussed in this section. Crushed Wire Wire can become crushed when the spool is miss handled. Below is an example of a crushed length of wire. Crushed wire must be cut off and discarded. 15
