KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL

1. Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
2. Keep hands out of path of shear blades.
3. The maximum capacity of this machine is 1/4” mild steel or equivalent.Exceeding capacity may be dangerous to operator and damage may occur to the machine.
4. Bolt machine to floor or sturdy stand that is bolted to floor to prevent sliding or tipping of machine.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT attempt to shear hardened or stainless steel blocks or rods. You will damage or break your shear blades !

ASSEMBLY

MOUNT HANDLE

Remove two hex head bolts #15 from pivot arm#12. Mount handle#13into groove on pivot arm. Secure handle with hex head bolts. Tighten bolts securely securely. MOUNT HOLD-DOWN PLATE.

Insert threaded rod of hold-down plate #1 through hole in support block #4.

INSTALLATION

Machine should be installed on a level surface, with proper lighting. Machine can be floor mounted, stand-mounted or bench mounted. Besure to provide clearance for handlebar rotation. Use four mountingholesonthebase to bolt machine securely to floor, bench or stand (fasteners not included).Area around machine should be clear of scraps, oil or dirt. Apply a suitable non-skid material to floor.

 OPERATION

Rotating handle #13 operates the shear. Be sure to keephandsclearofshear when rotating handle. The maximum capacity of themachinesis¼”mild steel.

SHEARING PLATE AND FLAT BARS

1. Adjust hold-down plate #1 so that workpiece can lie horizontally between shear blades. Place workpiece between blades #7 and #20andunderneath hold-down plate. Adjust hold down plate to be positioned at the top surface of the workpiece, with the workpiece held horizontally. Securethe hold-down plate in position by tightening it.
2. Support workpiece between blades and underneath the hold down plate at position where cut is desired. Pull handles #13 forwardwithbothhandsuntil blade cuts through workpiece.

CAUTION

Do not reach in back of shear to grasp fall out piece.

Shear thicker material is done by “snapping” crank handles sotha tupper blade impacts workpiece.Upper blade is mounted at an angle so that workpiece can be sheared in small increments. To minimize distortion, approximately 5/8” of workpiece should be sheared with each impact.

SHEARING ROUND BARS

Round bars up to 7/16” diameter can be cut with shear HS-5/ 6.Round bars up to 1/2” diameter can be cut with shear HS-8 / 10 / 12.Place bar through holes in face of upper blade #7 and die #10. Position bar where cutis desired and pull handle #13 forward until bar is cut.

SHEAR BLADES

Always keep shear blades lubricated and clean of any dirt or rust. Abrasive particles on blades will drastically reduce life of blades. These blades should be sharpened according to industry standards by a competent grinding service only.

NOTE

If the material seems too thick or too hard, do not force the shear ! Instead, use a metal-cutting bandsaw to cut the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE

1.  Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting procedures.
2. Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation. All exposed iron surfaces should be coated with light oil to prevent rushing.
3. Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that adjusting tools are removed before using machine.
