WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION:
Release the Trigger and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet
before adjusting tool or installing accessories.
MAINTENANCE
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only
by a qualified technician.
WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION: Release the Trigger and unplug the tool from its electrical
outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning
procedures.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not use
damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the
problem corrected before further use.
Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow
access to children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without
creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free
movement.
Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent
movement while working.
There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard
while working.
Make a practice cut on a piece of scrap material before cutting the work material.
This will allow you to be sure you are familiar with the way the tool operates,
and that the cut can be made properly.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, long sleeve
shirt, and jeans.
Plug the tool into an appropriate, safety protected power outlet.
Position the jaws of the Shear over the edge of the sheet metal you will cut.
Squeeze the Power Switch to begin cutting the metal. The Power Switch is
variable speed, allowing you to vary the cutting speed by the amount you
squeeze the trigger. As you squeeze more, the tool will increase speed, and it
will cut more slowly as you release the trigger.
Move the Cutting Blades along the desired cutting line in the work material.
On large pieces of sheet metal, you may wish to swivel the head to one side or
the other to prevent interference of the tool handle with the work material. See
previous page for full instructions on how to swivel the Cutting Head.
To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after
use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
