ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer
to the Assembly Diagram on page 13.
NOTE: It is a good idea to make a practice cut on a piece of scrap material before
cuting the work material. This will allow you to be sure you are familiar with the way the
tool operates, and that the cut can be made properly.
1.
CAUTION: Always make sure the Power Cord is unplugged from its electrical
outlet
prior to assembling or making any adjustments to the tool.
2.
Follow all safety precautions already discussed.
3.
Plug the tool into an appropriate, breaker switch protected power outlet.
4.
Position the jaws of the Shear over the edge of the sheet metal you will cut.
5.
Squeeze the Power Switch to begin cutting the metal. The Power Switch is
variable, allowing you to vary the cutting speed by the amount you squeeze it. As
you squeeze more, the tool will increase speed, and it will cut more slowly as you
release the Power Switch.
6.
Move the Cutting Blades along the desired cutting line in the work material.
7.
On large pieces of sheet metal, you may wish to swivel the head to one side or
the other to prevent interference of the tool handle with the work material. Turn to
page 11 for full instructions on how to swival the Cutting Head.
8.
When you have completed the cut, release the Power Switch, unplug the tool, and
store it properly.
