5.3 Unpacking and cleanup
1. Remove crating from around machine. Inspect
contents for shipping damage. Report damage,
or any missing parts, to your distributor. Do not
discard packing material until shear is
assembled and operating satisfactorily.
2. Remove bolts holding machine to pallet. Use
hoist, forklift, or similar means to lift shear off
pallet and move to desired location.
3. Carefully move machine to a level foundation.
Machine location must allow access to all sides.
Secure shear to floor using lag screws (not
provided) or other appropriate fasteners.
4. Remove any protective straps from around
machine, and carefully clean all rust protected
surfaces with a mild solvent or kerosene and a
soft rag. Do not use lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, or gasoline, as these will damage
painted surfaces. Use caution when cleaning
around blade area.
5. Coat all machined surfaces with a light coat of
oil to inhibit rust. Paste wax may be used on the
exposed table surface.
Assembly Note: Prior to shipment the foot shear is
adjusted by the manufacturer for proper operation.
If the machine does not operate properly, or the
stand does not sit squarely on the floor, refer to sect.
