A. Safety Instructions
Before Notcher is set up for operation, mount on work bench or stand*.
*IF NOTCHER IS MOUNTED ON ITS OWN STAND, SECURE STAND TO
FLOOR
B. Set-up Procedure
Changing size of tab:
1. Loosen bolts (A) holding lower blade to blade carrier (DO NOT REMOVE)
2. Slide blades forward or back, holding them against shoulder machined in blade
carrier to obtain desired tab.
3. Tighten bolts (A)
4. Loosen bolts (B)
5. Lower ram until upper blades pass by lower blades (it may be necessary to slide
one upper blade back)
6. Slide blade (C) forward into notch in lower blade. Tighten bolts.
7. Slide blade (D) forward until it contacts blade (C). Tighten bolts.
Note: A slight opening at (H) is normal to insure contact at cutting edge

Setting size of notch:
1. Loosen screws (G) and set to required notch depth, reading scale along edge (E).
Note: Scale is set to read from the edge of the notch so tab size must be subtracted
to obtain a corner notch of equal depth.
2. To notch along the side of a sheet remove gauges and turn them upside down.
Screws will fit in outside slot when gauges are set parallel to each other.
Shearing long strips full width:
1. Remove lower left blade and adjust right blade to maximum tab size.
Setting depth of stroke:
1. Adjust screw on cam until upper blade passes slightly by lower blade at bottom of
stroke.

D. Maintenance
Lubricate cam roller and ram occasionally with a few drops of heavy machine oil.
Sharpening blades
1. Blades have two cutting edges. A new cutting edge is obtained by changing right blade
to left side and visa versa.
2. If only a slight amount of sharpening is required, grind wide edge only, as this will
eliminate necessity of resetting clearance.
3. When grinding ends be sure to maintain angle presently on blade.
4. Reset scale to zero, lining up zero on scale with straight edge along blade cutting edge.
Adjusting blade clearance
1. Remove table
2. Loosen blade mounting bolts A and B
3. Loosen blade carrier bolts (J)
4. Adjust lower blades to required tab (per instructions, A “changing size of tab”, 1,2,3)
5. Set upper blades for no tab or a tab smaller than set in lower blades.
6. Back off screws (K) and pull blade carrier away from top blade.
7. Move ram to bottom of stroke.
8. Turn in screws (K) by hand pushing blade in until it contacts upper blade. Placing a shim
or piece of paper between blades will provide clearance to prevent rubbing of blades.
Too much clearance will cause a burr on workpiece. Excessive rubbing of blade will
reduce blade life.
9. Tighten bolts (J).
10. Set upper blade to tab notch in lower blade and tighten.
Adjust ram clearance
1. Remove ram cap (M) and remove a shim from both sides. Color of shim indicates the
thickness: Purple .0015; Red .002; Green .003; Blue .005.
2. Replace cap (M).
