INNERSHIELD COILS:
The spindle should be located in the lower mounting hole.
[For 8 in. (200 mm) spools, a K468 spindle adapter must first be slipped onto the spindle.]

CAUTION
Always be sure the free end of the coil is securely held while the tie wires are being cut and until the wire is feeding through the drive rolls. Failure to do this will result in “backlash” of the coil, which may tangle the wire. A tangled coil will not feed, so it must either be untangled or discarded.

5.Be sure the coil is engaged with the spindle brake pin and the Release Bar and Retaining Collar “pops up” and that the collar retainers fully engage the retaining groove on the spindle.
