2.1.6 Setting the Foil Pretension
If the foil tears frequently or has not been correctly removed, you will need to set the foil pretension.
Example of how to set the foil pretension
The foil pretension is set with the setting screw (1) on the spring of the foil tensioner.
►If the foil pretension is too low (foil is not removed properly), increase the pretension by turning the
screw in a clockwise direction.
►If the foil pretension is too high (foil tears), reduce the pretension by turning the screw in an anticlock-
wise direction.

NOTICE
When you release the screw, make sure that the spring slides back into place (especially when
the foil pretension was at its maximum before). If the spring does not slide back properly, the
foil pretension will not slacken.

2.1.8 Splicing the Foil
►Cut the tape edge and the cover tape on the old tape so that they are level with one another.
►Leave 5 to 10 mm of the new tape overlapping the cut tape edge.
►Place the overhang of the new foil over the end of the old foil.
►Fix the adhesive strip over the center of the foil edge on the new tape.
For more information about foil splicing, refer to the "Tape Splicing Tool" section of the "Job Guide -
Feeders".
For detailed information about the tape splicing tool, refer to the documentation supplied with this tool.
2.1.9 Maintenance
►Each time you change the tape, clean the area around the transport wheel and the pickup window.
Loose components could be deposited and jammed here during operation.
►From time to time, operate the transport wheel without a tape. Use these service runs to remove any
components which have been caught between the transportation pins.
For 3x8 mm S feeders only
The transport wheel moves components into the feeder.
►Open the component reject flap (1) and shake out the components which have collected there.
