Adjusting the Cutting Blades
1. Using a probe through the motor vents in the side of the cover, turn the fan until the cutting blades
are open to the maximum amount. You can measure the gap between the blades using an
automotive feeler gauge (not included).
2. To determine the best spacing, use the following formula:
Distance in mm (L) =0.2x thickness of steel plate in mm.
This is the same as the gap being equal to the material thickness divided by 5. For example, a thin
steel plate which is 1 mm thick should be cut with a metal shear blade setting of 0.2 mm. This
assumes a hardness of the material of 390N/mm. For softer material, reduce the gap. For harder
material, increase the gap.
3. Loosen the socket head screw (6) that holds the upper shear blade (12) in place. Adjust the upper
shear blade until the space between the upper and lower cutting edge is between 0.1 mm and 0.6
mm. Then tighten the socket head screw (6) to move the upper shear blade (12) in position.
Note: Hold the metal shear by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
