MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. Use Alternating Current Only (50 to 60 Cycles), 120 volts. Voltage variation of more than
10% will cause loss of power and overheating. Motors are factory tested. If this shear does not operate, check the following: supply line for blown fuses;
plug and receptacle for contact. This tool will stop when the brushes wear to a preset length. Damage to the motor is thus avoided.
