• Lead from lead based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and ot her m asonry pr oduc ts, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-tr eated lumber.

YOUR RISK FROM THESE EXPOSURES varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure t o these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to fil ter out microscopic particles

20. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any m edic ation.

Uncrating and Clean-Up

1. Remove the HN-16T from the crate.

2. Carefully clean all rust protected surfaces with a mild solvent or kerosene and a soft rag. Do not use lacquer thinner, paint thinner, or gasoline. These will damage painted surfaces.

3. Lubricate all moving parts of the machine with light gr ease, or heav y oil.

4. Carefully move the mac hine to a well li ghted area and attach to a solid, level work bench.

Notcher Setup

Use a machi nist’s lev el and shim s if the not cher is not level. The notcher has been adjusted at the factory for proper use of capacity material. During shipment of this unit the machine may have come out of alignm ent.

Blade Adjustment

The (#) in the text ref er s to the breakdown.

1. Remove the table (8-01) and position the ram (3-01) to its lowest position.

2. Slightly loosen socket head cap screws (5-

03).

3. Use the set screw (7-02) to adjust the positioning block (7-01). The blade gap should be approximately 0.002”. As a general rule the blade gap should be approxim ately 6% of stock thickness.

4. Tighten screws (5-03).

Blades

The upper blades (4-01 & 4- 02) are factory set for “splay” cutting. This method provides that the cut begins at the outside of the material. The capacity at this setting is 16 gauge. The notcher is also capable of piercing. To

accomplish this, interchange upper blades end for end so that the cut begins at the apex or corner of inside out. Align blades at the point flush and tighten screws. In the piercing capacity the notcher’s capacity i s reduced to 18 gauge mild steel.

Depth of Cut

Adjust set screw (3-08) to stop the ram at a desired depth and tighten hex nut (3-07).

Ram Brake

The set screw (3-04) act s as a drag on the ram so that the blade doe s not free f all. The screw should be checked and adjusted as need ed.

Opening Throat

The notcher’s throat can be opened by r emoving hex socket cap screw (1-08). This will allow squaring, or shearing. Always replace screw when notching.

Slitting

Remove the upper left blade (4-02) and mount the right blade in the splay position, and open the throat. Always replace screw (1-08) when notching.

Ram Adjustment

Normal wear on the ram (3-01) may require adjustment. Loosen set screws (3-04) and evenly ti ghten the hex socket cap screws (3-03) until the ram is snug. Tighten set screws f rom side to side until the ram has a proper fit. Lubricate the ways.

Lubrication

Lubricate the ways weekly, and lightly oil machined surfaces to prevent rust. Lubricate daily oil pinholes that are located on the eccentri c bushing (2-02), and top of the ram (3-

01).
