4. Connect the motor leads to the incoming power
source, according to the diagram on inside
cover of motor junction box. Similar diagrams
are in sect. 12.0 of this manual.
5. If using a plug, replace the 230V plug with a
proper 460V, UL/CSA-listed plug.
6. Turn on machine (see sect. 8.1 for controls). If
abrasive belt moves wrong direction from that
shown on operating panel (Figure 8-1),
disconnect from power and switch any two of
the 3 wires to the motor (not the green ground
wire).
7. Reinstall rear panel before operating.
6.2 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded. 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 tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor. If a plug is used, it must be inserted into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug – if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
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.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
6.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, be
sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 2 shows recommended size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

7.0 Adjustments
Disconnect machine from
power source before making adjustments,
unless indicated otherwise.
7.1 Dust and chip collection
The chip boxes (see F, Figure 7-2) are located to
catch swarf/chips at point of workpiece contact. The
box near the jaw assembly freely slides in and out;
the box beneath the wheel grinder is secured by a
screw.
The circular plate at bottom of each chip box can be
removed to connect a dust collection hose using a
hose clamp. It is strongly recommended that a dust
collection system (not provided) suitable for metal
working be used with the Notcher.
7.2 Jaw adjustments
See Figure 7-1.
Handle (A) – Moves jaw assembly toward and away
from belt. Adjust handle sensitivity by loosening or
tightening socket head screw (A
1
) beneath handle.
Locking lever (B) – Push to right to lock lateral slide;
left to unlock.
Handle (C) – Rotate to move floating jaw.
Angle locking screw (D) – Loosen to rotate jaw
assembly for angular work. Refer to adjoining angle
scale. Always tighten screw before operating.
Workstop assembly (E) – Loosen handle to adjust.
