Before Each Use
WARNING:
• Inspect the shear and accessories for damage or excessive wear before each use. If you find
damage do not use the shear.
• Clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces.
• Refer to the weight and footprint specification of your machine. Some residential floors may
require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator.
• Considering existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each
machine and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a
location for your new machine.
• Check the condition of the shear and that its free of scraps or other debris and clean enough
for the next operation.
• Test the functionality of the shear, possibly with test material, to verify it is ready for
operation.
Operating Instructions
The chart below is a material conversion comparison to show equivalent capacities of material
other than mild steel.
BACK GAUGE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the back gauge, loosen the adjustment knobs (66), slide the angle (61), move the rod
(59) forward or backward so the scales (69) to read zero on the pointers. (See Figure 1) Lock the
bracket again and perform a further adjustment with the wheel (62).
Tighten the socket screws to lock the rods in place. (See Figure 2)
BLADE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust blade clearance, loosen the front screws (18, 19) and table lock screws (21), then
loosen the table bolts on both sides (62).
1. Loosen the table lock screws (21) on both sides.
2. Adjust the front screws (19) to move the worktable (1) forward and adjust the screws (18) to
move it backward. (see Figure 3)
3. For fine adjustment, it is no need to loosen the table lock screws, but adjust the front screws
