INTENDED USE
Niedax GmbH & Co. KG - Asbacher Straße 141 - D-53545 Linz/Rhein
Tel.: [phone] - Fax: [phone] - [email protected] - www.niedax.de
The notching tool is to be used exclusively to notch (punch) the side walls (Figure 01.1,
Figure 01.2) of a surface metal raceway (LLK …/LUK …) as well as the industrial surface
metal raceway (LUE …/LI …) by the Niedax GmbH & Co. KG, made out of steel or stainless
steel.
• NotchingtoolW-ALS 50X35 (Figure 01.1) allows a notch of 50 x 35 mm;
Of a surface metal raceway (LLK …/LUK …) with a height of 40 mm
(Length of the notch: 50 mm; height -: 35 mm)
• NotchingtoolW-ALS 50X55 (Figure 01.2) allows a notch of 50 x 55 mm;
Of a surface metal raceway (LLK …/LUK …) and the industrial surface metal raceway
(LUE …/LI …) from a height of 60 mm
(Length of the notch: 50 mm; height -: 55 mm)
Larger notches, by moving the tool back or forth, are at any time possible. For this purpose
an additional hydraulic drive (basic unit) is required. The hand hydraulic W-HHA 360-3 can be
ordered from Niedax GmbH & Co. KG and can be used together with the notching tool.

The completely assembled unit primarily consists of 2 parts (Figure 02):
1. Drive / basic unit (Manufacturer for example Klauke, Makita, Alfra, Milwaukee, Cimco etc.).
For the drive / basic unit, observe the operating instructions of the manufacturer or sup-
plier. As an alternative to the illustrated hydraulic punch, the hydraulic tool W-HHA 360-3
(operated manually) by the Niedax GmbH & Co. KG can be ordered and used.
2. Notchingtool(W-ALS50X35;W-ALS50X55);exclusivelyusabletonotchthesidewalls
of a surface metal raceway as well as the industrial surface metal raceway by the Niedax
GmbH & Co. KG.
• Thebatteryhastoberemovedbefore,whileassemblingthenotchingtoolwiththedrive/

OPERATION
Firstly the positions of the notches are marked on the side walls of the surface metal raceway.
The notch, produced by the complete unit, has a height of 35 mm respectively 55 mm and
a length of 50 mm. The cover of the surface metal raceway is removed and no cables and
foreignobjectsetc.arelocatedintheareaofthenotchingtool.
The nut (2.2) of the notching tool has to be fully loosened to open the notching tool. The mo-
vable punch (2.3) is thereby the furthest from the mould (2.4). Now the notching tool can be
inserted over the side wall into the surface metal raceway.Afterwards the nut (2.2) has to be
manually tightened up to the stop in order to minimalize the distance between the punch (2.3)
andthemould(2.4)andinordertocreateatighttbetweenthenotchingtoolandtheside
wall of the surface metal raceway (see Figure 04 and 05).
Is the required notch at the end of the surface metal raceway, the entire tool can be inserted
from the side (lengthwise) as well.
In any case, attention must be paid to tighten the nut (2.2) up to the stop in order to minimali-
ze the distance between the punch (2.3) and the mould (2.4) before operating the tool.

• Risk of crushing exists between the punch and the mould of the notching tool.
• Risk of cutting exists at the cut. Depending on the material of the cut metal sheet, it is
possible,thatthecutsheetsectiongetsejectedinthedirectionofthedrive/basicunit.
One hand grips the blank head (1.1) of the basic unit while the other grips the handle (1.6)
includingtheoperatingswitch(1.4)ofthebasicunit(seegure06).
The notching tool has to be held vertically to the side wall of the surface metal raceway in
ordertoinsureacleanandverticalcutofthesidewallandtoeliminatetheriskofjamming
thenotchingtool.Theredhydraulictankpointstotheoor.Thepunchingprocesshastobe
visually observed by the operator.

DISASSEMBLY (SEE FIGURE 02, 03)
Now the punching process can be started by pressing the operating switch (1.4). The opera-
ting switch has to be pressed until a clear crunch from the metal sheet, signifying the comple-
te cut, can be heard and the loose metal sheet section can be seen.
The „drive on block” of the punch on the mould is to be avoided!
Afterwards the reset lever (1.5) of the basic unit is pressed and the notching tool opens (the
punch separates from the mould).
In case the basic unit has reached the end position beforehand, it is now required to press
theresetlevermorermly.
The entire tool is now either removed from the surface metal raceway by lifting it up or moved
sideways for punching further notches.
It is not permitted to punch more than 40 notches in a row due to the risk of overheating the
hydraulic punch.
Forthenextuseonadi󰀨erentsurfacemetalracewaythenut(2.2)hastobefullyloosenedto
open the notching tool and tightened again after putting the notching tool in position.
No sheets of metal should remain in the mould of the notching tool. If there are they must be
removed.
• Whendisassemblingthenotchingtoolitisabsolutelynecessarytoremove the battery
(1.3) of the drive / basic unit.
• Afterwardsthenotchingtoolcanbeunscrewedfromthebasicunitviathethreadedbolt
(2.1).
• Theinnergearofthebasicunitdoesn’thaveaself-lockingcapacity.
• Becauseofthisitispossibleforthegearofthebasicunittoturnwiththemotionof
unscrewing the notching tool and making disassembly impossible.
• Inthiscasethebatteryhastobeinsertedagain.
• CAUTION: Risk of injury, keep hands out of the area of the notching tool!
• Thentheoperatingswitch(1.4)isactivateduntiltheendpositionisreached.Afterwardsthe
battery is removed. Now the gear of the basic unit (1) is blocked and the notching tool (2)
can be unscrewed. Once this is done, the reset lever has to be pushed for the gear to be
loosened again by the hydraulic system.

The surface metal raceway does have sharp edges in the area of the notch due to the pun-
ching process. This can cause damages to the isolation of cables and the cables themselves
CAUTION: Risk of injury, use personal protective equipment!
Thesharpedgesaretoberoundedo󰀨andcoveredwithasuitableedgeprotection.
For this purpose the edge protection RKBA 5 of the Niedax GmbH & Co. KG can be ordered
and used.
