Assembly

The  machine  must  be  fully  assembled  before  it 
can be operated. Before beginning the assembly 
process,  refer  to 

Needed for Setup  and  gather 

all listed items. To ensure the assembly process 
goes smoothly, first clean any parts that are cov-
ered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if 
applicable).

To assemble machine:

1.  Use level to check shear table.

— If table

 is

 level, no adjustment is required. 

Proceed to 

Step 2.

— If  table 

is not 

level,  use  shims  between 

floor  and  base  to  level  machine  before 
proceeding.  Leveling  shear  helps  blades 
and other components remain straight and 
flat during life of machine so machine can 
continue to cut straight and square.

2.  Cut cable ties securing foot pedal to table.

3.  Have  another  person  press  and  hold  foot 

pedal  about  halfway  through  full  range  of 
movement.

4.  Insert  (2)  12  x  45mm  clevis  pins  in  holes  in 

foot pedal frame and secure with (2) M3 x 50 
cotter pins, as shown in 

Figure 10.

Arm

 

T-slots must line up with table 

T-slots, and surfaces must be flush (see

 

Figure 12

).

6.  Install (1) M12-1.75 x

 

45 T-bolt in each T-slot 

and secure front work stop to extension arms 
using  (2)  12mm  flat  washers  and  M12-1.75 
wing nuts (see 

Figure 13).
