WORK AREA SAFETY

•  Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well lit. 

Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. 

•  Do not use the shear where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the 

presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The tool can create sparks, which may ignite 

the dust or fumes.

•  Do not allow the shear to come into contact with an electrical source. Contact will cause a 

shock.

•  Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the shear. Do not 

allow children to operate the shear. 

•  Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in 

your work area. Some of these hazards may be below the work surface hidden from your 

view and may cause personal harm or property damage if unintentionally contacted.

PERSONAL SAFETY

•  Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the shear. Do 

not use the shear while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. 

A moment of inattention while operating the shear may result in serious personal injury.

•  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, 

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be 

caught. 

•  Use ANSI-approved safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields, or when needed, a 

face shield. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, 

hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. 

•  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

CAUTION:

SHEAR USE AND CARE

•  Do not force the shear. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which 

they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.

•  Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the tool will operate properly 

and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never 

operate the tool with a damaged part.

•  Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with the shear. 

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used with 

another tool. 

•  Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the tool without the guards in 

place.

•  Inspect the shear and accessories for damage or excessive wear before each use. If you find 

damage do not use the shear. 

Specific Operation Warnings

WARNING:

•  The blades are very sharp. Take extra care in operating the shear and keep hands away from 

the reach of the blades.

•  Never take off the protective guard. Keep the clearance down to the minimum gap required 

to feed the material.

•  Never use the shear to cut rod or material exceeding its designed capacity.

•  Never attempt to cut any material less than a 1/2" cut across length of the table under full 

capacity.

Assembly

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Read the following instructions carefully and thoroughly to ensure the shear functions perfectly 

and avoid possible dangers.

RECEIVING AND UNPACKING 

On first receiving the shear, examine if the outer packing is in good condition. Then, remove the 

cover to inspect whether there is any damage or loss caused during transportation. If any is 

found, please immediately notify the transportation and your supplier. 

Some parts are shipped detached from the shear to save transportation space. You must check 

those parts and accessories in extra care. Then, attach them on to the shear according to the 

parts diagram.

INSTALLATION

Install the shear on a solid level floor. The work area should be well light to help prevent any 

incorrect or dangerous operation.

Secure the shear to the floor with anchor bolts to help prevent vibration.  Use a precision level 

on the table surface to level the shear. Insert metal shims between floor and the shear mounting 

surface to adjust the level. Tighten all of the bolts after those being adjusted.

Carefully clean all painted surfaces with a mild soap and a soft rag. Do not use lacquer thinner, 

paint thinner, or gasoline as these will damage painted surfaces.

Coat all machined surfaces with a light coat of oil to inhibit rust.
