Control Panel Angle Shear Station Accessory Power your Edwards hydraulic accessory tools by rotating the three position switch to the vertical position. This function allows for operations of Edwards hydraulic accessories only. The four, female, M12 plug connections coordinate with accessory controls when power is shifted from the Ironworker operation to Hydraulic Accessory tool operation. An additional M12 connection allows for an optional, auxiliary light.

Set upstroke for rapid cycling of your punching, shearing and notching stations. 2. Turn machine on. The shear blades will be in their neutral position. Place bar stock on the feed table and push the material under the material hold-down. Position your desired cut mark adjacent to the moving shear blade. 1.
Punch Station Punch Operation Round Holes 1. Clear the punch station of any tools or debris prior to powering the machine on. 2. Place the material to be punched between the punch and die. Check to see that your material is spanning the stripper plate and that adequate material is available to safely position the material. 3. Clear your hands from the working area and depress the foot pedal to move the punch through the material and into the die. 4.
Notcher Station 50/60/65/75/100DX/120 Ton Ironworkers Optional Tooling - Angle Notcher Notcher Operation 1.

Check for punch and die alignment by powering on the machine and slowly inching down the punch to meet the bottom die with the foot pedal. Power the machine off. 4. In the event that the punch and die are not aligned, simply loosen the bolts under the table allowing the die block to be moved to center the punch. When aligned, tighten the table bolts to secure the table. 5.
Optional Tooling - Notcher 25/40/55/100 Ton Ironworkers Install the notcher table: 1. Install the notcher table assembly to the base table. The notcher table includes three blades secured within the table housing. Install with the open “U” facing the center of the machine. The guide foot of the top blade should be centered within the base table blades.
Optional Tooling - Oversize Punch 3. With die table hardware loosely installed, insert die into die holder and secure with set screw. 4. Turn Ironworker on and inch down the punch to meet the die with the foot pedal jog control. Check to see that the punch is centered within the die. Optional Tooling - Pipe Notcher Install the Pipe notcher Assembly: 6. Install the oversize punch stripper assembly to the Ironworker frame with the hardware provided.
Optional Tooling - Rod Shear/Multi-Shear Optional Tooling - 241 Punch Install the bump-die assembly: “Bump-die” tooling and accessories fit within the punch station, open station or open tooling cavity of the machine. Verify recommended location per Ironworker model below. Edwards “bump-die” tooling consists of a housing which holds a stationary blade, a moving blade, return springs and a push block.
Accessory Light Optional Tooling - Hydraulic Accessory Package 3. The strong magnetic fields of neodymium magnets can damage items such as television, computer monitors, credit cards, bank cards, computers, diskettes and other data carriers, video tapes, mechanical watches, hearing aids, loud speakers and VCRs. Pacemakers may be damaged or switch to “Test Mode” in the presence of a strong magnetic force, if a pace-maker is in use, keep a minimum of 3 feet distance.
