WARNING: THE BLADE OF THE DEBEAKER® IS VERY
HOT DURING OPERATION AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
CUTS AND BURNS. OPERATING PERSONNEL
SHOULD BE CAUTIONED TO AVOID CONTACT WITH
THE BLADE AREA. TAPING OF THE OPERATOR’S
FINGERS IS RECOMMENDED.
CAUTION: REMOVE THE DEBEAKER® POWER CORD
FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING
SERVICE OR REPAIRS TO THE UNIT. ELECTRICAL
REPAIRS SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.

NOTE: Numbers in circles and ovals are used in the
text and in the PARTS LIST for identification purposes.
INSPECTION & UNPACKING: Remove the unit from the packing box and inspect it for any damage that may
have occurred in transit. If the unit is received damaged, YOU MUST FILE A CLAIM WITH THE DELIVERING
CARRIER. If the unit is received in good condition, remove the tape and the block holding the CARRIAGE (C1)
down. Refer to diagram on page 3: Remove the block under the yoke and eyebolt (C3). THERE IS A BLOCK
UNDER THE TRANSFORMER, YOU MUST REMOVE THE CARRIAGE TO TAKE THIS BLOCK OUT. Loosen the
screws (A) holding the CARRIAGE PIVOT assembly on both sides of the base. Loosen the screw (C24) holding
the SPRING RETAINER (C15). Turn the SPRING RETAINER OUT until the SPRING ASSEMBLY is loose. Now,
lift the CARRIAGE (C1) out. Remove the block under the TRANSFORMER (C2) and reinstall the carriage in
reverse order of removal.
ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION: Loosen the two NUTS (S1) at the rear of the CARRIAGE on the SPRING
EYEBOLT (S2). Run the bottom nut down the threaded eyebolt until the desired spring tension is achieved.
LOCK THE DESIRED SPRING TENSION BY LOCKING THE SECOND (TOP) NUT ONTO THE BOTTOM NUT.
The swing out SPRING RETAINER (C15) allows you to disconnect the SPRING ASSEMBLY from the CARRIAGE
(C1) without changing the tension on the SPRING (S3).
CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT: The CARRIAGE (C1) can be adjusted forward or backward by loosening the two
SCREWS (C20) and sliding the CARRIAGE (C1) forward or backward as needed in the SLOTS ON TOP OF THE
PIVOT ASSEMBLY (3). Re-tighten the SCREWS (C20) when the CARRIAGE is in the desired position.
FOOT PEDAL OPERATION: Mount the Debeaker® over a hole near the front edge of a table or platform that is
the desired height you require. If the Debeaker® is to be used with a stand, the stand’s height can be adjusted in
either a fixed or adjustable position. The Debeaker® should be high enough to give the operator full visibility. If
the Debeaker® was ordered with the galvanized foot pedal (Catalog No. 950-058) it contains all the parts needed
for foot pedal operation. Connect the CHAIN (B) to the EYEBOLT (C3) on the bottom of the CARRIAGE (C1)
yoke, through the bottom of the DEBEAKER® BASE (2), to the foot pedal. Secure the rear of the foot pedal to
the floor with a screw through the hole on the rear of the pedal’s base. The foot pedal should be positioned
directly below the Debeaker® so there is a minimum front to back movement during operation; ensure there is no
side pull on the carriage itself.
POWER UNIT OPERATION: If the Debeaker® is operated by a Pow-R-Pak, install and operate this unit by
following the instructions supplied with the Pow-R-Pak.

GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: BLADE NUTS MUST BE KEPT TIGHT FOR PROPER HEAT CONTROL. METAL EXPANDS WHEN
HEATED AND CONTRACTS AS IT COOLS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK NUT TIGHTNESS AT START-UP
TIME AND OCCASIONALLY DURING OPERATION.
If the optional HAND REST is used, adjust the HAND REST (H1) to the proper position for operator comfort.
Plug the POWER CORD (1) into a GROUNDED OUTLET power source. Blade temperature is adjusted by turning
the HEAT CONTROL KNOB (C16) clockwise. Turning the HEAT CONTROL KNOB (C16) all the way to the LEFT
turns the unit OFF. Three areas of heat are shown on the DIAL (C17), LOW-MEDIUM-HIGH. Turning the KNOB
(C16) all the way to the RIGHT is the HOT or maximum heat setting. In most cases the MEDIUM heat range will
be used. However, the heat setting can he affected by the type of blade used, the condition of the blade, the
condition of the lead ends of the TRANSFORMER (C2) secondary, and the tightness of the BLADE NUTS (C8).
Low incoming VOLTAGE to the Debeaker® will require a higher setting of the HEAT CONTROL (C5) to
compensate. NEVER USE MORE HEAT THAN NECESSARY TO CAUTERIZE PROPERLY. Normally, the HEAT
CONTROL (C5) can be adjusted until the blade is a DULL RED COLOR (view blade color in a subdued light).
Shade the blade area if necessary to view the proper blade color.
The Debeaker® blade is installed as shown on the illustration to the left. NOTE:
THE BLADE IS INSTALLED ON THE ENDS OF THE TRANSFORMER LEAD
ENDS AND BEHIND THE BLADE BARS. The blade bars are slotted to allow
them to swing out for changing the blade or for maintenance. Due to the heat
levels the blade bars are subjected to, they should be changed monthly if the
Debeaker® is in constant use. The use of BLADE BARS (C9) on older
transformers that do not have the ROUND TRANSFORMER LEAD ENDS (C7)
IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
MAINTENANCE: Properly used and maintained, your Super Debeaker® will supply you with years of service.
As with any electrical device, exercise caution when servicing the unit. BE SAFE, DISCONNECT THE
POWER CORD FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHEN SERVICING THIS UNIT.
To maintain the Debeaker® in top operating condition, the front end (blade and holder area) should be serviced
once a month, more often if subjected to daily use. Recommended front-end maintenance is as follows:
1. Remove Blade, Insulator and Blade Bars.
2. Inspect insulator and clean with a wire brush. Replace if required.
3. Inspect blade bars. Replace them if they are pitted and/or burned.
4. Wire brush the ends of the transformer secondary leads. DO NOT FILE.
5. Run a 8-32 die down the transformer lead studs all the way to the transformer lead. Use the REVERSE SIDE OF
THE DIE. The front side is tapered and will not clean the threads close enough to the transformer lead.
6. Assemble the insulator and blade bars on the carriage. LEAVE THE INSULATOR LOOSE.
7. Mount the blade and tighten into place with 8-32 nuts.
8. Tighten the insulator block into place.
9. Inspect the rear of the blade bars to be sure there is full contact of the blade to the transformer leads.

For a complete listing of all blades and attachments available, send for the Lyon Catalog, LEC-4.
