NOTE: You will need wire cutters to perform this procedure. Wire cutters can be found next to 
Stitcher Spool B. 
 

 

1.  Open the Finisher Doors.  
2.  Raise the Stitcher Panel. The Stitcher Panel is a black plate about 228 mm (9 inches) 

square. Lift the panel out from the bottom and then up. When flipped out and up, the 
panel has a series of pictures that provide instructions on how to change Stitcher A Wire. 

3.  Pull the green Stitcher Head Release Handle forward and up. The handle is above and to 

the left of the Stitcher spools. 
 

 

 
NOTE: If the spool is empty, skip to step 5; otherwise, continue with step 4.  

4.  If any wire remains on the spool, carefully rewind the wire out of the plastic tubing onto 

the spool.  

5.  Locate the Stitcher wire plug. The plug is located behind the right Finisher Door and has 

a white plastic tube leading up to it. The plug itself is a larger black tube about 38 mm 
(1.5 inches) in length.  

6.  Press down on the release clip. The release clip is a small semi-circle shaped silver clip.

 

 

 
NOTE: If you rewound the wire onto the spool in step 4, then step 7 is not necessary.  

7.  Pull the Stitcher wire plug out of the Stitcher Head.  

 
CAUTION: Be careful when you pull the wire out of the plastic tubing. The wire can 
spring out and hit you if the wire is pulled rapidly.
