plate about 25 mm (1 inch) in length, with a hole in it that the stitcher plug fits into. The 
bracket is located about 51 mm (2 inches) to the right of where the Stitcher plug was 
removed.

15.  Grasp the end of the wire on the new spool.  

 
WARNING: When the wire is cut, the cut piece may become airborne or cause the 
wire on the spool to de-spool, leaving it very tangled. Hold the piece that is being 
cut off to prevent projection or tangling.  

16.  Carefully clip the lead edge of the wire with the wire cutters. Make sure to remove any 

bent or twisted wire.  

17.  Hold the end of the wire with the thumb and forefinger of each hand. Slowly feed the wire 

into the plastic tubing until the wire extends from the Stitcher plug. Continue to feed the 
wire until the wire hits the backplate of the measuring bracket.  

18.  Remove the Stitcher plug from the measuring bracket.  
19.  Use the wire cutters to remove any bent wire in the plastic tubing, and slowly pull 

approximately 610 mm (24 inches) of wire out of the Stitcher plug.  

20.  Use the wire cutters to carefully cut the wire and leave approximately 51 mm (2 inches) of 

wire extending from the Stitcher plug.
