OWNER’S MANUAL

CUTTER HEAD ADJUSTMENT

The bow bolt (70) can be adjusted if the cutter head cannot cut the workpiece. Tighten the bolt 

with forward strength, which can help reduce the clearance between upper blade (24) and lower 

blade (25). (See Figure 5)

To adjust the blade up or down, loosen the nut (52) and drop the pin (52) on the treadle (54). 

Adjust the yoke (2) up or down. Reassemble them. (See Figure 6 & 7)

Loose lock screws may cause shake of blade in operation. Check and make sure they are 

rightly against shims. But be careful not to dimple them.

TO SHARPEN THE BLADE

The upper blade (24) has two cutting edges which are ground with a 2-edge relief. Reverse the 

blade to expose the new cutting edge as soon the first edge is dull. The blade can be 

sharpened on both sides using a surface grinder or grinding machine.

The lower blade (25) has one cutting edge with a 2-edge relief and a 1-face relief. It can be 

sharpened on a surface grinder by grinding the wide side of the blade having the 1-face relief. 

(See Figure 8)

After Each Use

•  Clear away any scraps or debris to setup for the next operation.

•  Check for loose bolts, cracked welds, casting, or fingers and replace damaged parts

•  To prevent rust, all unpainted cast iron surfaces should be regularly maintained with a 

surface protectant.

Maintenance

Maintain your shear. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined 

before it is used. Keep the shear in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair 

and maintenance in accordance with the recommended procedures found in this manual. 

•  Keep the cutting blades sharp and clean. Properly maintained blades with sharp cutting 

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 

•  Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. 

•  

Daily Check:

Loose bolts, cracked welds, casting, or fingers.

Worn or damaged pins.

Any other unsafe condition

• 

 Lubrication

Four main areas need to be lubricated:

•  Shearing blades (24, 25). (See Figure 9)

•  Micro adjusting stop assembly (59, 61, 62). (See Figure 10)

•  Gibs and slides (31). (See Figure 11)
