CUTTING SHEET METAL
To cut sheet metal:
1. Mark the cut line across the width of the workpiece.
2. Make sure the gap between the shearing blades is correct for the
workpiece material (refer to “Shearing Blade Gap Adjustment” on page 26
for detailed instructions).
3. Position the workpiece up against
the guide block on the right side
of the table, then align the cut
mark with the upper shear blade,
as shown in Figure 37.
NOTE:
The shearing action begins
on the right side of the
workpiece and moves to the
left.
NOTE:
If you need to adjust the gap
between the shearing blades to accommodate your workpiece,
refer to the “Shearing Blade Gap Adjustment” on page 26 for
detailed instructions.
NOTE:
If you are using the rear work stop, adjust the stop so that at least one
square edge of the workpiece is against it.
4. Use the hold down adjustment bolts to adjust the holddown bar so that it
firmly holds the workpiece in place without marking or denting it.
5. Keeping all body parts away from the blades, rotate the hand crank with
an even and steady pressure to complete the cut.
