Apply oil to the upper and lower blades before the first cut is made and every 10 to 15 cuts, thereafter.
Grease the slide block every two hours of operation. This reduces cutting tonnage and increases blade
life.
6.2B THREE IN ONE COMBINATION TOOL OPERATION
USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
1. Feed the workpiece through the tool, keeping it horizontal with the tool.
2. For the plate shear section of the tool, adjust the hold down screws to the size of material being
sheared.
3. Depress the foot pedal and shear the material.
IN ADDITION TO THESE BASIC STEPS, the operator should be familiar with the following:
A. MAINTAIN PROPER BLADE CLEARANCE.
Do not work with dull or damaged blades. If the blades are chipped or dull, they should be replaced.
The movable blade for the multi tool is designed to fit only one way. Installing the blade backwards will
cause damage to the tool. The blade must be installed so that the angle on the plate shear portion of the
blade runs from smallest to largest, from left to right. SEE FIGURE 8 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
B. MITER CUTTING.
The angle shear on this model is capable of mitering angle up to 2" x 2" x 1/4" inch (51 x 51 x 6mm) to forty
five (45) degrees. To miter cut, raise the guard and feed the material into the shear until it contacts the
lower blades, opposite the side it is being fed from.
NOTE: If tool ever jams or gets stuck - REMOVE THE TOOL
FROM THE MACHINE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FREE IT.
► CAUTION: IF THIS TOOL GETS STUCK AND REMOVED FROM MACHINE, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO FREE IT BY HAND!! USE A PRY BAR OR SIMILAR DEVICE.
REPLACE THE BLADES OR INSTALL SHIMS, DEPENDING ON WHAT
CAUSED THE JAM. ALWAYS REMOVE THE TOOL WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
