Connecting cable to pedestal
Orientate the fittings and push them together. Turn the threaded
ring clockwise (
cw ) until snug, ensuring a solid electrical
connection.
Light Beam / Shearing Line
A wire is stretched down the full length of the top blade. See
(fig. 22) The operator first scribes the material where it is to
be sheared. The shadow line that is cast on the material
allows the operator to line up the scribed line with the edge
of the blade providing for a more accurate cut.
Note : Shown with guard removed. (For
identification purposes only!)
Material Hold down
There are 12 hold down cylinders (F) along the length of the blades. For operator safety the
yellow guard must be in place at all times.
Rake Angle
The Baileigh SH-8008HD shear has a variable rake angle that can be adjusted to suit the
width of the piece part that is being cut. Rake angle is the angle of the moving blade as it
passes the fixed blade and is a factor in determining a quality cut. In a majority of the cases,
the lower the rake angle the better the quality of the cut. Bow, twist, and camber are typically
seen on shorter pieces.
