That projector could be a 1694, 1695, 1698, 2685, 2692, or 2698, but they all use the same body casting.
If you pull the front cover off, you should be able to watch the autoshredding mechanism work and see that the loops are being properly formed. Make sure both sprockets are turning and that the notches on the sprockets are in the same positions. Make sure the gate is immaculately clean. The autoshredders are very touchy about leader... you will need a heavy leader with the front of it curved properly; follow the directions in the manual. And unlike the older 500-series autoshredders, you cannot convert them back to manual thread. Now... SOME Of these machines, I and I think they are just the 1694, have a wick oiling system for the cam.... on those machines you really should not turn one on without making sure the wick is saturated with light machine oil. If you are in the US, Optech in Boston does routine maintenance on these projectors and will keep them in good condition. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
