BACKSTROKE STOP
The blade should be set so it cuts into the plastic blade stop (F) when the
handle is pressed down.
To open the blade to cut materials over 3/4" (19mm) thick, loosen Phillips head
screw on the Backstroke Stop (D); turn the Backstroke Stop 180º and tighten
screw. For more convenience when cutting thinner products, restore factory
setting.
CUTTING DEPTH
You may need to adjust the height of the blade to cut all the way through your
product. You can do this by adjusting the stop screw.
ADJUSTING THE STOP SCREW
1. Loosen the stop screw nut (E) and turn stop screw until it is loose. Release
handle to open blade.
2. Push the handle down until the blade is resting on the blade stop (F)
3. Adjust the stop screw until it makes contact with the power assembly.
TRANSPORT
It is important to re-engage lock and secure unextended handle in down
position while storing, carrying, or transporting your Magnum Siding Shear.
TIP: DOUBLE CUTTING
Most materials shear very well with just one cut. However, some brands may
require cutting twice to produce a better cut.
Simply make your first cut 1/8" to 1/4" (3 to 6mm) longer than your mark, then
go back and make your second cut on your mark. This is very useful to create
a cleaner cut when a trim molding or transition cannot be used to cover your
cut end.
ADJUSTMENTS
THE ANVIL
The anvil has two edges: a 1/32" (0.75mm) narrow edge
and a 3/16" (4.5mm) wide edge. Either edge can be used
according to the support needed to make a clean cut.
Some soft-backed products require the wider anvil
edge.
TO CHANGE BETWEEN ANVIL EDGES
Simply remove the anvil screws and flip the anvil over.
Ensure blade stop is in place.
