SET UP
1.
It is important to read all instructions before attempting to
use this tool as there is vital information describing what
not to do to avoid serious injury and damage as well as
what to do.
2.
The Eastwood Tubing Notcher is supplied with the Arbor
Shaft installed in a reversed position for shipping purposes.
It will need to be removed and re-installed in the correct
position (Fig. A). Pull out the retaining pin, slide the Arbor
Shaft out of the bore and reposition it with the threaded
arbor toward the mounting base and the Arbor Shaft end
with the tri-fl at outward.
3.
Also, for shipping purposes, the mounting foot is attached
in a reversed position. Remove the vertical through bolt
and mounting foot and reattach it as shown in Fig A.
The mounting foot is designed to facilitate a vertical drill
press mount or a horizontal bench top and hand drill
mount. It is advisable to use a square to be sure the mount-
ing foot is square to the main body in the desired position
then tighten both bolts securely.
4.
Note that the threaded end of the Arbor Shaft has 1⁄2”
threads and a 5/8” threaded adapter loosely attached
(Fig. B). This is to accommodate smaller sized hole saws
with 1⁄2” Dia. mounting holes or larger (up to 2”) hole
saws with 5/8” Dia. mounting holes. For smaller hole saw
use, the adapter must be removed from the Arbor Shaft
however if the 5/8” adapter is to be used, be sure that it is
securely tightened. Use the retaining pin to keep the arbor
shaft stationary while tightening.
Only specifi cally designed threaded metal
saws are to be used with this unit, severe personal injury can
occur with improper saw use!
