FLEXCO Alligator Belt Skiver/Cutter Operating instructions

Brand: FLEXCO

Model: Alligator Belt Skiver/Cutter

Type: Operating instructions

FLEXCO Alligator Belt Skiver/Cutter is a specialized tool designed to prepare and cut conveyor belts, making it easier to install fasteners or other components. Here's a summary of its capabilities based on the instruction manual:

Skiving: The skiver blade precisely cuts a thin layer off the belt's edge, creating a beveled surface for a stronger fastener hold. The depth of the cut can be adjusted for different belt thicknesses.
Cutting: The belt cutter blade accurately cuts the belt to the desired length, ensuring a clean and straight edge for a secure and efficient splice.
Adjustable Settings: Both the skiver and cutter blades are adjustable, allowing for precise cuts and skives tailored to the specific belt and fastener requirements.

1. Determine squared line using centerline method. 2. Lay a clear, (free of knots or nails) straight

wooden plank, minimum 2” x 8”, on a rm surface

crosswise under the belt and under squared line.

Nail winch on one end. Be sure winch handle

operates freely. Nail track along squared line or

square edge of belt (use every hole on both sides

of track over belt) with opening for skiver head at

opposite end from winch. Use No. 16D coated nails

provided. Reset all nails.

3. Warning: Skiver and cutter blades are

unguarded and extremely sharp. On a woven belt,

calculations for belt thickness should be made in

center of belt. Set skiver blade by loosening bolts

on either side of skiver head and aligning T-lug on

1/16” marks (these marks are approximate and may

vary slightly due to belt cover hardness) for depth

of cut. Retighten bolts and put skiving head on

opening in track with skiver blade toward belt edge.

4. Hook winch cable on ½” bolt on top of skiver

and crank winch to draw skiver across the belt.

Spray Flexco® silicone lubricant on track and belt.

Aer skiver cuts about six inches, stop and nail the

skived ap back in place to keep ap from jamming

in skiver. Complete the skive. Adjust skiver blade

back up into skiver head and return skiver head to

start position.

5. Set belt cutter (cut o) blade by loosening the

two bolts on the belt cutter housing. Starting from

the centermost position, move the housing toward

the belt end until top alignment mark lines up with

fastener number to be installed. Retighten bolts.

6. Loosen blade-depth and lower blade until it

contacts wood base. Connect winch cable to skiver

head and crank it across. Silicone spray on belt will

help. Retract blade and remove skiver head and

track from belt. Repeat operation on opposite end

of belt.
