OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Operating
Check for alignment and binding of all moving parts, broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any other conditions that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.

1. Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Tool performance is more efficient and safer being used at the rate for which it was intended.
2. Never use the blades if they are dull, worn, or chipped. Blades must be sharpened, repaired, or replaced before use.
3. Check to make sure all bolts are secure but not over-tightened. Check for blade clearance. Make sure clearance is suitable for the workpiece.
4. While being used, the lower blade must be secured with the Clamp (10). When not being used, the Clamp (10) can be loosened.

Operating

1. Adjust the clearance between the Upper Blade (14) and the Lower Blade (8). To decrease the clearance, turn the Adjusting Bolts (15) clockwise. To increase clearance, turn the bolts counterclockwise. The clearance can be adjusted to between 1/4 and 1/10 of the thickness of the workpiece.
2. To gain power and control of the workpiece, start all cuts at the heel of the blades. Circular and irregular cuts are made by turning the workpiece while following through with the downward stroke of the blade.
3. When a cut has been finished, push the workpiece forward while raising the handle to lift the blade above the workpiece. Start the next cut at the heel of the blade.
4. Always keep the material being cut flat on the bed of the shear.

MAINTENANCE

• Periodically use a good graphite oil to lubricate blade edges and gears on the Geared Handle (4).
