7.4B PIPE NOTCHER OPERATION
The pipe notcher is a vendor item for Scotchman Industries. The following is the manufacturer’s
recommendation for maintenance and alignment of this tool.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE OF TOOLING.
TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR UNIT, please observe these simple rules.
A. Keep the unit clean. Whenever dirt or metal chips accumulate, remove the 8mm limit screw
located in the center, at the rear of the punch. Lift out the punch holder and the two springs.
Clean the unit with solvent.
B. Never remove the M-10 dowel pin from the upper die (Vendored item). Generally, it should not
be necessary to remove the set screw that holds the insert in the top die (Scotchman product).
C. Check the alignment of the unit. After cleaning the unit, always check the alignment of the punch
and die. To check the alignment, insert the punch and die holder, without the springs, into the
housing and check the gap.
SEE FIGURE 15 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
If proven correct, tighten the two M-10 socket head screws holding the lower die section in place. Apply
some high pressure lube all around the inside of the housing. Re-assemble the unit, reversing the above
procedures.
Before operating, lubricate the back and sides of the upper die with way oil. Repeat this lubrication once
daily. Apply cutting oil or motor oil to the cutting dies before the first cut and every 10 to 15 cuts,
thereafter.
7.4C PIPE NOTCHER CAPACITIES
Two inch (2") schedule 40 pipe is the maximum thickness that can be cut.
Lighter weight tubing may be cut but will probably require different dies for best cutting results.
Separate dies are required for each size of pipe or tubing being notched.
CAUTION: ALWAYS REMOVE THIS TOOL WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
