Follow the manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning, wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.

Important :
This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING

NOTICE : Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operators, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well-balanced.

Follow these guidelines when lifting with a truck or trolley:

• The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 – 2 times the machine’s gross weight.
• Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
• Use a forklift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks that are long enough to reach the complete width of the machine.
• Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet.
• Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
• Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
• Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no rocking is taking place.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:

• The overall weight of the machine.
• Weight of material being processed.
• Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
• Space is needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
• Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
• Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
• Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
• Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
• Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from obstructing objects.
• If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend into any aisles.
• LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it should be in position before placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on its precise placement on it the mounting surface.
• FLOOR: This machine distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator. The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to eliminate by using shims.
• WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
• POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.

ASSEMBLY AND SET UP

WARNING : For your safety, DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and understand the entire instruction manual.

1. Remove the machine from the skid it was shipped on and install the casters.
2. Check the oil level and top off if necessary.
3. Read through the remainder of the manual and become familiar with the tool installation and settings as well as normal operation.
4. Position the machine as desired following the installation guidelines.
5. Follow the electrical guidelines to connect the machine to a power supply.

ELECTRICAL
CAUTION : HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BYA A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.

WARNING : Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.

Power Specifications
Your machine is wired for 220 volts, 60hz alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the power source is OFF.
Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if they meet the requirement, the allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency is ±1%.

Considerations

• Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
• The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with an amperage rating slightly higher than the full load current of the machine.
• A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine.
• All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded per all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING : In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

Extension Cord Safety
The extension cord should be in good condition and meet the minimum wire gauge requirements listed below:

| LENGTH
---|---
AMP RATING| 25ft| 50ft| 100ft
1-12| 16| 16| 14
13-16| 14| 12| 12
17-20| 12| 12| 10
21-30| 10| 10| No
| WIRE GAUGE

An undersized cord decreases line voltage, causing loss of power and overheating. All cords should use a ground wire and plug pin. Replace any damaged cords immediately.

Power cord connection:

1. Turn the main disconnect switch on the control panel to the OFF position.

2. Unwrap the power cord and route the cord away from the machine toward the power supply.
   a. Route the power cord so that it will NOT become entangled in the machine in any way.
   b. Route the cord to the power supply in a way that does NOT create a trip hazard.

3. Have an electrician install the correct power supply for the application.

4. Connect the power cord to the power supply and check that the power cord has not been damaged during installation.

5. When the machine is clear of any obstruction. The main power switch may be turned ON to test the operation. Turn the switch OFF when the machine is not in operation.

OPERATION

CAUTION : Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
WARNING : BEFORE THE MAIN LEXAN GUARD IS OPENED, THE POWER CORD MUST BE UNPLUGGED FROM ITS SOURCE.

Mandrel / Belt Selection and Installation

1. Before any notching can take place, the proper mandrel must be chosen. The material size is stamped or marked on each mandrel’s end.

2. To install a Mandrel, first, unplug the power cord and open the main Lexan guard.

3. Loosen the belt tension handwheel (A) until the belt is loose.

4. Grab the mandrel and lift it out of the bearing saddles.

5. Find the desired mandrel and reinstall it the same way, making sure the bearings are fully seated in their respective saddles (B).
   Note : It may be necessary to clean any grinding debris from the saddles to ensure an unobstructed fit for the bearings.

6. Retighten the belt tension hand wheel until the belt tension spring (C) is compressed to 1.25” (31.75mm). This is the proper tension for all belts.

7. Plug the machine in and start momentarily to check the tracking of the belt.
   a. The belt should track right down the center of the mandrel. If the tracking is off, the tracking screw (D) is located slightly behind and below the motor.
   b. Adjust by loosening the lock nut and turning the adjuster until the correct tracking is achieved. Care should be taken when tracking so the belt does not track off the mandrel. Always know where the off switch is.

8. The stock 36 grit belts that the machine comes with work best for most notching applications, although other grits are available.

Material Insertion

1. Once the proper mandrel and belt are installed, the material to be notched can be inserted into the vise.

2. Open the vise an insert the material so that the end toward the mandrel extends past the vise jaw approximately 2-3” (51-76mm) and re-tighten the vise.
   Note : Angled notches may require more material extending from the vise.

3. If an angle notch is required, loosen vise assembly by opening the locking lever and rotate and position the vise assembly to the desired angle and retighten the lock lever, not to exceed 60 degrees.

4. Position the material so the notch will end up being centered on the belt.

5. The depth of the notch is limited by the stop screw; this can be adjusted as needed, always check for interferences before actually notching.
   Off-center notches can be accomplished by raising the “V” jaw of the vise to the desired offset.

6. To raise the “V” Jaws, loosen the
   (4) bolts, (2) on either side of each jaw.

7. Turn the top jack screws (E) until the desired offset is reached on each of the jaw assemblies.

8. Retighten the lock bolts.

Notching

1. With the motor running and the material clamped tightly in the vise, grab the main feed lever and slowly pull the material into the spinning grinding belt.
2. Continue to feed until the desired notch depth is achieved. Don’t feed too fast, this will cause the belt to wear prematurely and may push the belt off the mandrel. Thinner wall material can be notched faster than thick wall.
3. After the desired notch depth is reached, activate the stop switch.
4. Make sure the spindle has stopped completely before removing and installing the material.

MATERIAL SELECTION
CAUTION : It must be determined by the customer that materials being processed through the machine are NOT potentially hazardous to the operator or personnel working nearby.

When selecting materials keep these instructions in mind:

• The material must be clean and dry. (without oil)
• The material should have a smooth surface so it processes easily.
• The dimensional properties of the material must be consistent and not exceed the machine capacity values.
• The chemical structure of the material must be consistent.
• Buy certificated steel from the same vendor when possible.
