An apparatus for manufacturing roof cladding panels (15) has a roll forming assembly for profiling a sheet-metal strip (1) in the longitudinal direction, a pressing assembly (8) for forming transverse steps (22) on the strip (1) and cutting means for cutting the strip (1) into said roof cladding panels (15). Further, there is a notching assembly (7) for notching each longitudinal edge portion (1a, 1b) of the strip (1) in such way that two diagonally opposite corner portions (11, 12) of each roof cladding panel (15) are obliquely cut. A cutting assembly cuts away a transverse scrap portion of the strip (1) for separating the roof cladding panels (15) from each other. The apparatus operates in accordance with corresponding method steps.
