•
When notching your panel, set the "female side" by pulling it towards you slightly biting the panel. Notch your "male side",
followed by the female side then release the panel by pushing the handle away from you. From here, you will be able to pull
your panel through to the next station. *Sometimes your panel may stick to the notchers and most times this is simply due to
the force of notching. You will need to push down on your panel to get the panel to unstick. Recheck your alignments to be
sure there is not too much give.
•
Would recommend doing all straights, then adjust and do angles (ex. 2/12, then 6/12, then 8/12).
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I hem a trailing edge instead of leading edge?
Rotate the Hemmer to 180 degrees for trailing edge hems.
What if I do multiple profiles?
One set of notchers are included with each SnapTable PRO purchase. Additional notchers are available to accommodate
multiple profiles.
What if I need to close the rib of the standing seam panel?
Follow these steps to create your tab over:
•
Once notchers are set at correct offset, shift the notcher to add an additional inch on female rib.
(Example: if you are doing a 9/12 valley- move to 10/12 on offset chart). This allows you to snip back 1" of female rib to create
the tab bringing you back to correct offset.
•
Notch, then cut panel to length.
•
Use your Tin Snips to cut 1" back on pan against the rib, cut top of rib back 1", cut up and remove outside of rib, then fold it
over with your hand. Snip excess to clean up tab.
•
At the hemming station, both sides of standing seam must hit flush against fencing inside the hemmer. Clamp down and hem over.
What gauge thickness will the machine allow for?
The suggested maximum panel thickness is 20-gauge.
How do I swap profiles?
For a standard set of Notchers, insert safety pin and lift the notcher directly up to remove notcher from carriage, then
insert new notchers into carriage.
To change from a standard set of nocthers to an angle set, you will need:
9
/
16
wrench, extension and rachet.
•
Slide carriage over to the side so you’re out of the way of the cross beam.
•
Remove the bolts that go through the top of the carriage, you will need to loosen the NY lock nut from the bottom of the
carriage. Note – leave the bolt and 2 washers – they are spacers.
•
Remove the bolts on the front, the bolt will stay in.
•
Grab the angled notcher (be careful with the knives – they are sharp!) put the 2 bolts through the sub-carriage and slide the
angle notcher forward over the bolts.
•
Reinstall the bolts by starting them by hand and tighten.
Can I do an up hem?
Yes
•
Fully open the hemmer and pull out the hemming bar.
•
Using the higher handle (nobbed one) and push that back to its original position.
•
Finish bringing the lower handle down.
•
Slide the panel through and clamp down.
•
Rotate the lower handle slightly up, while holding it, grab the hemming bar and rotate until its flat against your panel.
•
Hem up.
