Notcher Setup

."

Use a machinist's level and shims if the

notcher 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 alignment.

Blade Adjustment

corner of inside out. Align blades at the point
flush and tighten screws. In the piercing
capacity the notchers capacity is reduced to 18
gauge mild steel.

Depth of Cut

Adjust set screw (3-08) to stop the ram at a

desired depth andtighten hex nut (3-07).

Ram Brake

The set screw (3-04) acts as a drag on the

ram so that the blade does not free fall. The
screw should be checked and adjusted as

needed

Opening Throat

The notchers throat can be opened by
removing hex socket cap screw (1-08). This will
allow squaring, or shearing. Always replace
screw when notching.

Slitting

The (#) in the text refersto 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
approximately 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

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 tighten the hex socket cap screws (3-03)
until the ram is snug. Tighten set screws from
side to side until the ram has a proper fit.
Lubricatethe ways.

Lubrication

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

01).
