INTRODUCTION

The Model T27577 Underpinner is a foot-oper-

ated device for assembling picture frames using

varying V-nail lengths to secure each corner.

The correct V-nail length used depends on V-nail

placement in workpiece (see V-Nail Placement

on Page 12) and workpiece thickness. V-nails

work best when used in combination with adhe-

sive to secure each corner.

Cleanup Site Considerations

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are

coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that

prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

This rust preventative works extremely well, but it

will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your

machine. The time you spend doing this now will

give you a better appreciation for the proper care

of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven-

tative, but the following steps work well in a wide

variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you

use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated

area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak

for 5–10 minutes.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe

off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,

scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe

off the rest with the rag.

Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality

metal protectant to prevent rust.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as

acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may

damage painted surfaces.

Figure 4. Minimum working clearances.

30"

Weight Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight

of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon

which the machine is placed will bear the weight

of the machine, additional equipment that may be

installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-

piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the

weight of the operator and any dynamic loading

that may occur when operating the machine.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine

is operated is important for safe operation and

longevity of components. For best results, oper-

ate this machine in a dry environment that is

free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-

cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.

Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are

generally those where the ambient temperature

range is outside 41°–104°F; the relative humidity

range is outside 20–95% (non-condensing); or

the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,

or bumps.

Children or untrained people

may be seriously injured by

this machine. Only install in an

access restricted location.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate

enough that operations can be performed safely.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will

be processed through this machine and provide

enough space around the machine for adequate

operator material handling or the installation of

auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,

leave enough space around the machine to open

or remove doors/covers as required by the main-

tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

ice machine operator with a basic understanding

of how the machine is used during operation, so

the

machine controls/components

discussed later

in this manual

are easier to understand.

Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is

not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn

more about specific operations, read this entire

manual,

seek additional

training from experienced

machine operators

, and do additional research

outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,

trade magazines, or websites.

To complete a typical operation, operator

does the following:

1. Examines workpiece components to make

sure they are suitable for framing.

2. Attaches appropriate pressure pad (90° or

round) to bottom of pressure bar.

3. Adjusts fence and fence stops to align frame

corner with pressure bar and V-nail insertion

location.

4. Adjusts V-nail height dial to accommodate

workpiece.

5. Chooses number and size of V-nails to be

inserted.

6. Positions workpiece into clamping area,

securing front clamp placement using clamp

pedal to apply pressure.

7. Adjusts height of pressure pad above

workpiece.

8. Presses down on pressure bar foot pedal

until indicator light illuminates.

9. Releases pressure bar foot pedal, and press-

es down on clamp pedal to release workpiece.

To reduce your risk of

serious injury, read this

entire manual BEFORE

using machine.

V-Nail Size &

Placement

The Model T27577 accepts 5, 7, 10, 12, and

15mm long Universal Type V-nails. Prior to V-nail

insertion, apply adhesive to the mitered edge

and clamp frame into underpinner (see Clamp

Settings on Page 13).

Stacking Multiple V-Nails

Figure 12. Placing multiple v-nails.

Single

V-Nail

Stacked

V-Nails

Inside Edge

Stacked V-nails may be used to reinforce irregu-

lar frame thicknesses. Inserting one V-nail after

another into the same position will drive the first

V-nail deeper (see Figure 12). Single V-nails can

then be placed nearby for added support (see

Figure 12).

Determining V-Nail Size

The correct V-nail size (length) is determined by

the thickness of the workpiece. To ensure a strong

frame assembly, V-nail length must at least half

the thickness of the frame. An easy rule of thumb

is to take your workpiece thickness, subtract 2mm

and then round down to the next available size of

V-nail (see Figure 9).

Use a test piece to gauge V-nail depth, or hold a

V-nail beside the workpiece to check depth.

Inserting Multiple V-Nails

Multiple V-nails are typically used on framers

larger than 2

⁄2" wide. When inserting two or

more V-nails per corner, the first V-nail should be

roughly

⁄4 the stock width from the inside edge of

miter (see Figure 11). The second V-nail should

be roughly

⁄3 the stock width from the outside

edge of the miter (see Figure 11).

Changing V-Nails

V-nails work in tandem with adhesive to support

each corner of the workpiece when inserted from

the backside of the frame (refer to V-Nail Size &

Placement).

Tool Needed Qty

Magnetic Tool .................................................... 1

To change V-nails:

1. Pull nylon cord loop and secure it around cap

screw on work table (see Figure 13).

Figure 13. Pulling nylon cord to remove V-nails.

2. Use magnetic tool to retrieve remaining

V-nails in V-nail channel (see Figure 14).

3. Turn V-nail height dial to correct millimeter

size for the length of V-nails to be installed.

Insert new strip of V-nails with glued side fac-

ing up (see Figure 14), and release cord.

Clamp Settings

The Model T27577 features two hold-down

clamps. Proper clamp setup ensures consistent

V-nail placement and machine function.

The vertical clamp secures the frame as a V-nail

is inserted into the workpiece. When either large

foot pedal is pressed, the pressure bar supporting

the top clamp lowers to the workpiece, securing

the frame. As the top clamp secures the frame,

a V-nail is inserted into the bottom side of the

workpiece. For best results, top clamp should be

set 10–20mm above workpiece before the foot

pedal is pressed (see Figure 15).

The front clamp is spring-loaded and presses the

workpiece against the fence. When pressed, the

small foot pedal retracts the front clamp jaws from

the fence, allowing the workpiece to move. When

the pedal is released, the front clamp secures

the workpiece against the fence. For best results,

the front clamp should be set 3–9mm from the

workpiece (see Figure 17).

Removing Jammed

V-Nail

V-nails may become jammed in the channel,

requiring removal of the V-nail block (see Figure

29). The driver, which presses the V-nail into the

workpiece, can also become jammed in the V-nail

block due to adhesive build up on sliding surface.

Keep the work area and components clean to

prevent this.

SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE

For optimum performance from your machine,

follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any

specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check

• Loose bolts.

• Remove adhesive build up.

• Worn or damaged front clamp cable.

• Worn or damaged wiring.

• Damaged depth indicator light.

• Any other unsafe condition.

Weekly Maintenance

• Check/lubricate moving components.

• Clean/lubricate V-nail driver and block.

• Clean/lubricate fence slide.

• Clean/grease front clamp cable.

Schedule

To reduce risk of shock or

accidental startup, always

disconnect machine from

power before adjustments,

maintenance, or service.

It is important to routinely clean and lubricate

the V-nail driver, V-nail block, and fence slides.

Adhesive from workpieces can build up, caus-

ing wear on components. Use a resin dissolving

cleaner to remove it. Use recommended lubri-

cants (see Accessories on Page 16) to keep

machine functioning properly.

Protect the unpainted table by wiping it clean after

every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust

does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep

the table rust-free with regular applications of

products like G96

Gun Treatment, SLIPIT

, or

Boeshield

T-9 (see Page 16 for more details).

Replacing V-Nail

Driver

The V-nail driver will eventually require replace-

ment due to normal wear and tear as the machine

is used. The V-nail driver may need replacing

if V-nails easily jam in V-nail block, or if driver

becomes jammed inside V-nail block channel,

which signals driver is worn. Because the V-nail

driver is considered to be a wear item, normal

wear and tear is not covered under warranty. It

is important to keep the V-nail driver and V-nail

block clear of debris and adhesive buildup to pro-

long its life.

Tools Needed Qty

Open-End Wrench 8mm.................................... 1

Hex Wrench 3mm .............................................. 1

Magnetic Pen Tool ............................................. 1

To replace V-nail driver:

1. Loosen cap screw securing V-nail driver (see

Figure 28).

Figure 28. Location of cap screw that secures

V-nail driver assembly.

2. Loosen hex bolt securing V-nail block, and

remove block from work table.

3. Move vertical clamp aside, and lower pres-

sure pad all the way down.

4. Press foot pedal. Vertical clamp will contact

work table and driver will move into view.

5. Remove old driver and install new driver.

IMPORTANT: Ensure driver orientation is

correct. V-shape lip must point toward center

of V-nail block (see Figure 31).

6. Press driver into place and tighten cap screw.

7. Re-insert V-nail block and tighten hex bolt.
