LM1014 SHEAR CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
Please refer to the previous page which shows the 4 functions of the control panel box on your
LM1014 Shear
1. On/Off Push/Pull Switch:
This switch is located on the upper left corner of the box. It is labeled 1.on the previous page. To
operate the shear, turn the main disconnect power switch to the on position and pull the
Push/Pull
switch to out position until the light illuminates the switch. The shear is now ready to operate.
Please note if your switch does not illuminate in the out position, you must immediately replace the
bulb located within the switch. It is unsafe to operate this shear without the illuminated switch.
Please contact Tennsmith if you need assistance replacing the bulb.
2. To the right of the Push/Pull Switch is the Jog/Run Switch :
This selector type switch is designated 2 on the previous page. In normal shearing operation this
switch should be in the
Run position.
3. The Jog Button is located under the Push/Pull switch on the panel:
It is designated 3 on the previous page. The Jog function allows the operator to engage the motor
and move the cutter head of the shear up or down slowly and hold the cutter head at a particular
position. A secondary function of the Jog function is move the cutter head up if material is ever
wedged between the blades and stalls your machine. The primary use of the Jog function is to
check the clearance between the upper and lower blades at various points within the shearing
cycle
.
To operate the Jog function, select Jog on the switch 2 in the upper right corner of the panel. Next, select
either Forward or Reverse on the switch designated 4 next to the Jog switch, and finally push the Jog
switch to move the cutter head of the shear
.
CAUTION!
If you are performing a check of the clearance or blade gap of the shear, the shear must be in
an off position at the Push/Pull switch 1 and at the main disconnect power switch located on the outside of
the box. In addition a lockout tag must be securely placed on the main electrical connection anytime you
are verifying the blade clearance.
