WORK TABLE AND STOCK GUIDES
The work table supports the work stock and the
stock guides (A) provide positive alignment of
the work stock for accurate, repeatable notching.
The stock guides (A) are locked in place with cap
screws (B). The guides can be placed in any of
the slots in the work table.
STRIPPER
The stripper performs two important jobs; it
supports the work piece while the notcher is
retracting, and partially guards the operator from
the upper blade.
The stripper consists of two fixed guards (A) and
two adjustable screws (B) locked in place by lock
nuts (C).
Adjusting the stripper:
The stripper must be correctly adjusted to provide
uniform contact with the work piece while the
upper blade is retracting from the workpiece.
Avoid serious injury.
Turn off the machine's power
and
lock
it
out
before
replacing the lower blades.
1.
Turn
off
the
main
electrical disconnect switch and lock it in
the "Off" position.
2.
Loosen the lock nut (C) on each stripper.
3.
Place the work material under the stripper
and turn the adjusting screws (B) until the
end of each screw is no more than 1/32"
above the work material.
4.
Tighten the lock nuts (C).
SLIDE AND UPPER BLADE
The slide (A) is the portion of the notching station
that moves when the foot switch is pressed. The
upper blade (B) is attached to the slide with a
large socket head cap screw which is inserted up
through the bottom of the blade and threaded into
the slide.
The lower blade (B) is mounted to the slide (A)
with a single socket head cap screw.
Replacing the Upper Blade
The upper blade needs to be replaced when the
work piece develops burrs as a result of the
notching process, or when the blade shows visible
signs of wear.
