1. Remove the crating material from around the
machine.
2. Clean the protectant from all exposed metal
surfaces with a mild solvent or kerosene, and
a soft rag. Do not use lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, or gasoline, as these may damage
painted surfaces.
3. Coat all machined surfaces with a light coat of
oil to inhibit rust.
4. Remove the bolts holding the machine to the
skid.
5. Place straps below the table (you may have to
remove front cover), and use propery rated
lifting equipment to move the machine to a
level foundation. Machine location must allow
access to all sides. Use shims at floor if
needed.
Assembly Note:
Prior to shipment, the pneumatic
shear is adjusted at the factory for proper
alignments and operation. If the machine does not
operate properly or the stand does not sit squarely
on the floor, proceed to
