REPLACING THE SHEAR BLADE
When the blade edge has been ground to the point that the blade gap can no longer be set
correctly, replace the blades as a set.
Contact Baileigh Industrial for replacement blades.
Replace Blades
1. Remove the material hold down by
unscrewing the bolts (
#70
) from the hold
down bar (
#41
).
2. Raise the shearing blade assembly to the top of its stroke and secure either by blocking the
frame or tying off the handlebar.
MAKE SURE
it is secure to avoid accidental shearing.
3. Remove the eight flathead screws holding on the upper blade (
#40
) and remove it from the
movable blade (
#39
). When handling the blade always wear leather gloves to protect your
hands.
4. Grind or replace the blade. Replace the flat head screws and tighten securely.
5. To replace the lower blade you must work from the other side (rear) of the machine.
6. Remove the eight flathead screws holding on the lower blade (
#40
) and remove it from the
shear table (
#2
). When handling the blade always wear leather gloves to protect your hands.
7. Grind or replace the blade. Replace the flat head screws and tighten securely.
8. While keeping fingers clear of the blades, shear a piece of paper all along the full length of
the blades.
Shear Results
Shear cuts properly along the full length. Reinstall the hold down and follow the adjustment
procedure.
Shear cuts poorly at the blade ends. Follow the blade adjustment procedure.
Shear cuts all but one or two locations in the center. Loosen the flat head screw at the
location where the cut is poor. Apply a piece of shim material between the blade and the
backup and then retighten the screw. Check cut again.
WARNING:
The shear blade poses an amputation hazard. Make sure no
body part or clothing is near the specific hazard. Failure to follow this warning could
result in severed or crushed fingers.
