Read and understand the entire
contents of this manual before attempting setup or operation. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
5.0 Setup
The FN-16 Notcher is shipped fully assembled. The user will be required only to secure it to floor and ensure it is properly adjusted and lubricated before operating.
5.1 Shipping contents
1 Notcher 3 Hex wrenches, 6,8,10 mm 1 Open-end wrench, 13/16 mm 1 Operating instructions and parts manual 1 Product registration card
5.2 Unpacking and locating
1. Inspect contents for shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until machine is assembled and operating properly.
2. Position notcher in a well-lighted area, with enough room on all sides for general maintenance and handling of materials. Anchor machine to a stable floor, preferably concrete, using lag screws or other appropriate fasteners through holes in base. Before tightening to floor, level the machine; use shims if needed.
3. Exposed metal surfaces have been given a protective coating. Remove this with a soft cloth and a cleaner-degreaser or kerosene. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, or acetone, as these may damage painted surfaces. Do not use an abrasive pad, as it may scratch polished surfaces.
4. Insert SAE 20W oil into hole atop cutting head (see Figure 6-1).
5. Apply a light coat of oil, such as SAE 30, to table surface to inhibit rust.
Figure 6-1 (shown with guards removed; all guards
must be installed before operating)
2. Remove three (3) hex cap bolts with washers (B, Figure 6-2) from beneath table; two at front and one at back.
3. Remove two (2) socket head screws (C, Figure 6-2). Remove table.
4. Rotate table and install at opposite side of cutting head.
5. Insert bolts/washers (B, Figure 6-2) and screws/washers (C, Figure 6-2). Hand tighten only at this time.
6. Verify appropriate blade gap (see sect. 6.4.) and make adjustments if needed.
7. After setting blade gap, tighten bolts and screws (B/C) securely.
6.0 Adjustments
6.1 Table position
See Figures 6-1 and 6-2 (shown with table mounted on right side of cutting head).
The table, with lower blades attached, can be positioned on left or right side of cutting head for user convenience. The upper blade assembly must also be rotated.
1. Remove blade guard (A, Figure 6-1).
Figure 6-2
6
8. Remove four screws securing upper blade to ram (#24, sect. 10.1.1). Rotate upper blade to match new table position. Insert screws and tighten upper blade securely in new position.
9. Reinstall blade guard (A, Figure 6-1).
6.2 Stroke depth
Stroke depth has been set by the manufacturer so that foot pedal at its lowest point will cause upper blade edge to descend below lower blade edge.
Should future adjustment be needed, loosen hex nut and turn stop bolt (D, Figure 6-1) as needed. Retighten hex nut against block to secure setting.
6.3 Ram tightness
Normal wear on the ram may cause need for future adjustment. Loosen any of the eight nuts (E) and turn screws (F, Figure 6-1) at front and side as needed to modify drag on ram block. The ram should slide smoothly up and down with just enough drag to prevent shifting or free falling.
6.4 Setting blade gap
5. Slightly loosen screws (C, Figure 6-2).
6. Loosen nuts on four adjustment screws (G, Figure 6-2) and turn adjustment screws as needed to adjust gap between lower and upper blades on both sides of table. Feeler gauge should be snug but still able to be smoothly removed.
7. NOTE: If a feeler gauge is not available, make incremental adjustments according to step #6, then tighten the screws (C), and make test cuts. Continue to adjust as needed until notcher is cutting properly.
8. Tighten nuts on the adjustment screws (G, Figure 6-2) to secure setting.
9. Tighten center screws (C, Figure 6-2).
10. Reinstall blade guard (A, Figure 6-2).
6.5 Handle adjustment
To adjust T-stop handles (H, Figure 6-1) to more convenient position: pull up on handle and rotate, then release, making sure handle settles back onto pin.
The notcher blades are designed for “splay” cutting, in which the cut begins at outside edge of material. The blades are pre-set by the manufacturer for notching 16-gauge material, with 0.004 in. (0.10mm) blade gap.
If misalignment has occurred, or table has been moved to other side of head, the gap should be inspected and readjusted as needed.
1. Remove blade guard (A, Figure 6-1).
2. Verify that lower blades are secured to table and they are flush at front corner, forming a 90­degree angle.
3. Press f oot pedal to engage blades, and keep pedal in lowered position.
4. As a general rule, blade gap should be approximately 6% of stock thickness. For precise measurement, slide a feeler gauge (not provided) between upper and lower blades. Blade gap should be approx. 0.002 to 0.004­inches (0.05 to 0.10mm). See Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3: gap set for 16ga. material
7.0 Operation
1. Position T-blocks for desired notch size, using attached scales for general reference. Tighten handles.
2. Position workpiece against T-blocks and step on foot pedal to make cut. The cut-off piece will fall through to the floor.
Protective footwear should
be worn during operation.
3. Release foot pedal.
8.0 User-maintenance
8.1 Lubrication
Use caution when working
around blade area to prevent injury to fingers.
Keep blade area free of deposits or shavings, which can impede cut quality and hasten blade wear.
Keep table and T-slots clean. Periodically apply light coat of SAE 30 oil or equivalent to exposed metal surfaces, such as table, blades and T-slots, to inhibit rust.
Periodically insert SAE 20W oil through hole in top cover to lubricate ram mechanism.
Periodically apply oil to foot pedal pivot points.
7
Maintain sharp blades. If they become dull, re­sharpen or replace. NOTE: The two lower blades are double-edged; if one edge becomes dull, remove blade from table and flip it end-for-end for a fresh edge. See Figure 6-3 for identification of the cutting edges.
8.2 Additional servicing
Any additional servicing should be performed by authorized service personnel.
9.0 Troubleshooting FN-16 Corner Notcher
Symptom Possible Cause Correction
Machine cuts with difficulty
Edges of cut are rough or rolled.
