workpiece can lie horizontally between shear
blades. Place workpiece between blades #14
and #19 and underneath hold-down plate.
Adjust hold-down plate to be positioned at
the top surface of the workpiece, with the
workpiece held horizontally. Secure the hold-
down plate in position by tightening it.
2.Support workpiece between blades and
underneath the hold down plate at position
where cut is desired. Pull handles #4
forward with both hands until blade cuts
through workpiece.
CAUTION
Do not reach in back of shear to grasp fall
out piece.
Shear thicker material is done by “snapping”
crank handles so that upper blade impacts
workpiece.
Upper blade is mounted at an angle so that
workpiece can be sheared in small increments.
To minimize distortion, approximately 5/8”
of workpiece should be sheared with each
impact.
SHEARING ROUND BARS
Round bars up to
1
/
2
” diameter can be cut with
this shear.
Place bar through holes in face of upper blade
#19 and die #2. Position bar where cut is
desired and pull handle #4 forward until bar is
cut.
SHEAR BLADES
Always keep shear blades lubricated and
clean of any dirt or rust. Abrasive particles on
blades will drastically reduce life of blades.
These blades should be sharpened according
to industry standards by a competent grinding
service only.
NOTE
If the material seems too thick or too hard,
do not force the shear ! Instead, use a
metal-cutting bandsaw to cut the workpiece.
Maintenance
1. Consult manual for specific maintaining and
adjusting procedures.
2. Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest
operation.
3. Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of
checking to see that adjusting tools are
removed before using machine.
4. Keep all parts in working order. Check to
determine that the guard or other parts will
operate properly and perform their intended
function.
5. Check for damaged parts. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage,
and mounting or any other condition that may
affect a tool’s operation.
6. Check the handle and base mounting bolts
to ensure they are tight.
7. A guard or other damaged part should be
properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform
makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to
order repair parts.)
