2. This is the RUN/JOG selector switch for the PUNCH/TOOL station of the machine. When this
switch is in the RUN position, the station will operate with the foot pedal only. When the switch is
in the JOG position, the station will only operate with the jog control. The jog control is very
useful for setting the machine’s stroke for various tooling and for finding center punch marks
when punching.
CAUTION: WHEN THE JOG FEATURE IS USED, THE MACHINE WILL REMAIN AT
WHATEVER POINT THE JOG CONTROL IS RELEASED. WHEN THE RUN/JOG SWITCH
IS MOVED TO THE RUN POSITION, THIS STATION WILL TRAVEL TO WHATEVER
POSITION THE SELECTOR SWITCH (4) IS IN.
3. There is an emergency stop switch on each end of the machine. On the punch end, it is located in
the control panel; on the notcher end, it is located in the base of the machine. When these switches
are depressed, they must be manually reset by pulling them out.
4. This is the selector switch for the PUNCH/TOOL stations. This switch (4) & the SHEAR/NOTCH
switch (6) must both be in the START position and Disconnect Switch (7) in the ON position to
power the machine. Any time that the power has been turned off, both selector switches (4 & 6)
must be placed in the START position to power it again. Placing this switch in the PUNCH position
will cause the punch to retract and the tooling arm to travel down. Placing it in the TOOL position
will cause the arm to extend and the punch to close.
CAUTION: WHENEVER YOU ARE USING THE PUNCH STATION, REMOVE ALL TOOLS
FROM THE TOOL TABLE AREA. WHEN USING THE TOOL TABLE AREA, REMOVE THE
PUNCH AND DIE FROM THE PUNCH STATION.
5. This is the Start Switch for the machine. The Disconnect Switch (7) must be in the ON position and
both selector switches (4 & 6) must be in the START position before you can power the machine.
6. This is the selector switch for the SHEAR/NOTCH stations. This switch (6) & the PUNCH/TOOL
switch (4) must both be in the START position and the Disconnect Switch (7) must be in the ON
position to power the machine. Any time that the power to this station has been turned off, both
selector switches (4 & 6) must be placed in the START position to power it again. Placing this
switch in the SHEAR position will cause the notcher blades to close and the flat bar shear blades
to open. Placing the switch in the NOTCH position will cause the notcher blades to open and the
flat bar shear blades to close.
CAUTION: WHEN THE MACHINE IS USED IN THE FLAT BAR SHEAR POSITION, MAKE
SURE THAT THE NOTCHER GUARD IS CLOSED. WHEN THE MACHINE IS USED IN THE
NOTCH POSITION, MAKE SURE THAT THE HOLD DOWN DEVICE ON THE FLAT BAR
SHEAR STATION IS IN THE DOWN POSITION.
7. This is the main Disconnect Switch for the machine. When this switch is in the OFF position,
none of the other operating controls for either station will function. It can be locked out in
the OFF position for safety if the machine needs maintenance or repairs.
8. This is an optional switch for machines equipped with an electronic back gauge.
