OPERATION
• Place the cutting blades against work piece and depress trigger to actuate cutting.
Only moderate pressure is required for tool to cleanly cut through metal. Do not force.
Always use two hands to control tool.
• Speed is regulated by pressure applied to the trigger.
POSITIONING CUTTING HEAD
The Cutting Head may be rotated 360° in
relation to the Handle of the Shears Body to
accommodate cutting in difficult to reach
areas. To do so:
• Using the included Allen wrench,
loosen (but do not remove) the three
socket head cap screws on the
Cutting Head adequately to release
clamping pressure.
• Rotate the Cutting Head about
the axis of the Shears Body to the
desired position then re-tighten the
three screws
(FIG 1)
.
MAINTENANCE
• Add several drops of light machine oil occasionally to all pivot points and moving blade
contact surfaces.
• Periodically clean any accumulation of metal chips and dust from the blades and motor
cooling vents.
FIG. 1
TECH TIP:
The use of a lightweight oil when cutting can help to create a cleaner cut,
especially when cutting stainless steel.
INJURY HAZARD!
The Electric Metal Shears can quickly start up when handling while plugged in
to electrical supply causing serious personal injury. Always unplug the tool from
the electrical supply before changing Cutting Blades or performing maintenance.
