KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. Avoid placing any part of your body near belts, cutters, gears, etc. 3. DO NOT EXCEED RATED GAUGE CAPACITY on this hand notcher. 4. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and work benches invite accidents. 5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area. 6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. 7. DON'T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. 8. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don't force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. 9. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 10. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. 11. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 12. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 13. NEVER STAND ON A MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine tipped. 14. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. 15. SHEET METAL STOCK HAS SHARP EDGES. To prevent cuts, use caution when handling. 16. KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS clear of the area in front and rear of the hand notcher. 17. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE for any purpose other than for which it was designed 18.

Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead based paint crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. 20. YOUR RISK FROM THOSE EXPOSURES varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles 21.

Align blades at the point flush and tighten screws. In the piercing capacity the notchers capacity is reduced to 18 gauge mild steel. Uncrating and Clean-Up 1. Remove the HN-16N from the crate. 2. Carefully clean all rust protected surfaces with a mild solvent or kerosene and a soft rag. Do not use lacquer thinner, paint thinner, or gasoline. These will damage painted surfaces. Depth of Cut Adjust set screw (3-08) to stop the ram at a desired depth and tighten hex nut (3-07). Ram Brake 3. Lubricate all moving parts of the machine with light grease, or heavy oil. The set screw (3-04) acts as a drag on the ram so that the blade does not free fall. The screw should be checked and adjusted as needed 4. Carefully move the machine to a well lighted area and attach to a solid, level work bench. Notcher Setup ." Opening Throat Use a machinist's level and shims if the notcher is not level. The notcher has been adjusted at the factory for proper use of capacity material. During shipment of this unit the machine may have come out of alignment. The notchers throat can be opened by removing hex socket cap screw (1-08). This will allow squaring, or shearing. Always replace screw when notching. Blade Adjustment Slitting The (#) in the text refers to the breakdown. Remove the upper left blade (4-02) and mount the right blade in the splay position, and open the throat. Always replace screw (1-08) when notching. 1. Remove the table (8-01) and position the ram (3-01) to its lowest position. 2. Slightly loosen socket head cap screws (503). 3. Ram Adjustment Normal wear on the ram (3-01) may require adjustment. Loosen set screws (3-04) and evenly tighten the hex socket cap screws (3-03) until the ram is snug. Tighten set screws from side to side until the ram has a proper fit. Lubricate the ways. Use the set screw (7-02) to adjust the positioning block (7-01). The blade gap should be approximately 0.002". As a general rule the blade gap should be approximately 6% of stock thickness. 4. Tighten screws (5-03). Lubrication Blades Lubricate the ways weekly, and lightly oil machined surfaces to prevent rust. lubricate daily oil pinholes that are located on the eccentric bushing (2-02), and top of the ram (301). The upper blades (4-01 & 4-02) are factory set for "splay" cutting. This method provides that the cut begins at the outside of the material. The capacity at this setting is 16 gauge. The notcher is also capable of piercing. To accomplish this, interchange upper blades end for end so that the cut begins at the apex or 4 Breakdown for the HN-16N Hand Notcher '" 'I, i i /2-04 : 2-01 II ' i 2-06 , /. 2-02 <, 2-03 " ",,- ~ , ""-J ! ~ :" 3-06 " ./I I " ie ""-" : I ,/ 3-09 , j ( /',./~; "/.1-03 05 1° 1- ~ /Q 't:. 3-05"'--..
