ASSEMBLY
Caution:
It is recommended bolting this Shear to the concrete floor when cutting large
capacity materials.
Caution:
If mounting to a work bench, the work bench should be anchorded to the wall
and/or floor.
1. The Shear must be assembled and operated indoors on a flat & level work bench
(capable of holding the static weight of the unit plus the stresses from operation), or
concrete floor. Leave adequate working space around the shear for safe operation.
2. Use the mounting holes in the base as a template, drill the mounting holes (Fig 1).
Note
: Use a minimum of M13 fasteners (not supplied) to secure the shear.
3. Bolt the Handle (1) to the Metal Shear using the two bolts (3) and washers supplied
(Fig 2).
OPERATION
WARNING!
The Handle (1) of this tool is spring loaded. Take caution when using the
shear to avoid injury if the Handle (1) is released before fully returned
upright.
WARNING!
The work place must be well illuminated to prevent any possible incorrect
operations.
WARNING!
Never exceed the maximum cutting capacity. If material is too thick or too
hard, do not force shear! Instead, use metal-cutting bandsaw or larger
shear to cut workpiece.
WARNING!
Keep fingers, hands, and all body parts away from blades and cutting area
at all times.
WARNING!
Prevent unauthorized use by untrained users or children. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance while operating the shear.
Cutting Flat Bar or Sheet Metal
1. Place workpiece between the Upper Blade (2) and Lower Blade (9) ensuring the
Material Clamp (4) is just touching the top of the workpiece (Fig 3A).
2. The Material Clamp (4) height can be adjusted for different thicknesses of
workpieces by rotating clockwise to decrease the height or anti-clockwise to
increase the height. Ensure that the Material Clamp (4) always keeps the workpiece
flat and level (Fig 3B).
3. Using slow and even pressure, pull Handle (1) down to cut the workpiece.
