cable aligned with the flutes in the plate), and slide

the cable into the notcher until desired length.

Refer toFigure4.

4. Cycle the power unit.

5. Advance the cable to the location of the next

notch.

6. Remove the cable by pulling the cable either

straight front or back and out of the notcher.

5.3. Scrap Removal

The frequency of scrap removal will depend on the

number of notches.

Compressed air used for scrap removal must be

reduced to less than 206.8 kPa [30 psi]. Effective

chip guarding and personal protective equipment

(including eye protection) must be used.

1. Connect the air control valve to a suitable air

supply.

2. Periodically depress the air control valve button

to remove scraps. Depress the button for a

maximum of two seconds.

6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

6.1. Daily Maintenance

It is recommended that each operator be responsible

for the following four steps of daily maintenance:

1. Remove dust, moisture, and outer contaminants

with a clean, soft brush or a soft, lint--free cloth; or

clean the notcher with compressed air.

Compressed air used for cleaning must be

reduced to less than 206.8 kPa [30 psi]. Effective

chip guarding and personal protective equipment

(including eye protection) must be used.

2. Make sure that the upper tooling is in place and

secure.

3. Lubricate the upper tooling dowel pins and

pressure plate dowel posts daily with an extreme

pressure (EP) lithium grease or equivalent.

DO NOT lubricate excessively.

For location of components, refer to the drawing

included with the notcher.

4. When not in use, store the notcher in a clean,

dry area.

6.2. Periodic Inspection

Regular inspection should be performed by

quality--control personnel. A record of scheduled

inspections should remain with the notcher or be

supplied to personnel responsible for notcher. Though

recommendations call for at least one inspection a

month, the frequency should be based on amount of

use, working conditions, operator training and skill,

and established company policies.
