OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont)
2. Whenever a change of operation is performed, check for proper alignment between the punch and
punch hole in the die. Inadvertent movement of the die block may have caused punch
misalignment.
3. Always remove the punch from the ironworker whenever the punching operation is completed.
SEVER ANGLE SHEAR OPERATION
1. To avoid crooked cuts, adjust the hold-down bolt on the front of the housing so material to be
sheared is level.
2. Be sure there are no obstructions in the shearing area before beginning operation.
NOTE: The severing angle shear does not remove a slug (large amount) of material, thus material
loss is minimal.
NOTE: If the blades finish the return stroke slowly, remove the blades. Clean all slag from the
housing, coat the blades with a light film of oil and re-install; refer to Removing and
Replacing Sever Angle Blades.
NOTCHER STATION OPERATION
CAUTION Never cut less than half the width of top blade, this will cause side pressure.
1. Adjustment of table: Loosen six (6) jam nuts, back off six (6) 7/16 x 3/4 set screws. Loosen
eight (8) 7/16 x 1-1/4 locking bolts. Fine adjust clearance by running top blade down 1/32 into
bottom blades, shut machine off. Adjust 7/16 x 3/4 set screws up until clearance is the same on
both sides of the top blade. Clearance on front of notcher should be approximately .005. Lock
jam nuts on set screws. Tighten top two (2) table bolts and six (6) side bolts. Run machine up and
recheck clearance of blades.
BAR SHEAR OPERATION
NOTE: Rotate the blades as they dull so all four (4) cutting edges may be used. To help achieve
maximum protection, adjust the stroke control to match material thickness. Maximum cut
in the bar shear is:

3/8” x 14”

½” x 10”

5/8” x 6”
