5.3. Scrap Removal
The frequency of scrap removal will depend on the
number of notches.
DANGER
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.
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.
DANGER
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.
NOTE
i
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.
