REPLACING THE SHEAR BLADES
The blades on the Baileigh SH-8008HD shear have multiple usable edges. If you have not
already used both cutting edges on the top blade you can rotate it end for end to expose a
sharp edge. The bottom blade has four usable edges. After all edges have been used, the
blade can be reground or replaced.

replacement blades.
CAUTION:
It must be determined by the customer that materials being
processed through the machine are NOT potentially hazardous to operator or

sure no body part or clothing is near the specific hazard. Failure to follow this
warning could result in severed or crushed fingers.
