Read and understand the entire
contents of this manual before attempting set-
up or operation! Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
5.0 Setup and assembly
Open shipping container and check for shipping
damage. Report any damage immediately to your
distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any
shipping material until machine is assembled and
running properly.
Compare the contents of your container with the
following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your
distributor. Read the instruction manual thoroughly
for assembly, maintenance and safety instructions.
5.1 Shipping contents
1 Pneumatic Notcher
1 Angle gauge
1 0.3mm feeler gauge
1 14mm combination wrench
1 5mm hex key
1 Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
1 Warranty Card
5.2 Location and cleanup
1. Remove any fasteners holding machine to
pallet.
2. Use forklift or hoist with straps to carefully move
machine off pallet and into position. Lifting
equipment must be properly rated for weight
of machine. Position forks or straps below
table as shown in Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1: lifting the machine
3. Position notcher so there is enough room on all
sides for general maintenance and feeding of
materials. Level the machine; use shims if
needed.
If there is any tendency for
machine to move or slide during operation,
it must be anchored to floor using lag
screws or other appropriate fasteners
through two holes in base (inside cabinet).
4. Exposed metal surfaces have been given a
protective coating. Remove this with a soft cloth
and a cleaner-degreaser. Do not use gasoline,
paint thinner, acetone, etc., as these may
damage painted surfaces. Do not use an
abrasive pad, as it may scratch polished
surfaces.
5.3 Air settings and lubrication
NOTE: Lubricator bowl (H, Figure 5-2) is not
supplied with oil. Fill bowl to indicator line before
operating notcher.
1. Make sure air compressor supplies clean, dry
air at correct CFM for the machine. Blow out air
supply line to remove any dirt or moisture, and
connect hose to fitting (A, Figure 5-2) using a
quick-connect coupling. Hose should be just
long enough to serve the working area.
Excessive hose length may cause pressure
drop.
Excess air pressure and/or
unclean air will reduce the machine’s
service life and may create a hazardous
situation.
2. The sliding valve (B) is used to turn air flow on
and off. ON: slide toward regulator, OFF: slide
away from regulator.
3. Air pressure has been pre-set for 115 psi (8
kg/cm
2
). If adjustment is needed, turn on air and
pull up on pressure regulator (C) and rotate.
Check pressure gauge (D) to confirm setting,
then push regulator down to lock setting. Do
not exceed 140 psi air pressure.
4. Adjust oil flow by turning adjustment knob (E).
Clockwise decreases oil flow, counterclockwise
increases. A setting of 1 drop per every 5 cycles
is sufficient for regular operation.
