6.0 Adjustments
6.1 Back stop adjustment
1. To position back stops, loosen all knobs (A
1
,A
2
,
Figure 4) and slide adjustment blocks close to
desired position on scale.
2. Tighten knob (A
1
) and rotate dial (A
3
) to adjust
to final position.
3. Tighten remaining knobs (A
2
).
6.2 Table/side panel adjustment
If floor is level but shear does not sit evenly, adjust
as follows:
1. Loosen two bolts (R, Figure 5) on each side of
shear.
2. Loosen hex nuts and bolts (S, Figure 5). Table
must rest squarely on right and left side panels
at all four corners while screws are loose. Shim
legs at floor if necessary.
3. Securely tighten bolts and hex nuts (R,S) when
adjustments are complete.

6.3 Blade clearance adjustment
Blade clearance has been adjusted by the
manufacturer for the gauge capacity of the shear. If
the shear does not cut properly during operations,
identify the specific problem: Place heavy sheet of
paper (such as brown craft paper approximately
0.005 in. thick) in cutting position, along entire length
of table. Slowly press foot lever.
If shear does not cut paper: Move lower blade
toward upper blade. Slightly loosen bolts (R, Figure
5) and loosen hex nuts and turn bolts (S, Figure 5)
to move lower blade toward upper blade. Distance
between upper and lower blades should be 0.002 to
0.005 inches. Do NOT let blades overlap.
Repeat test cut of paper. When satisfied, tighten hex
nuts (S, Figure 5) and bolts (R, Figure 5).
If shear cuts paper on the ends, but not the
center: Loosen hex nut and turn tie-rod adjusting
screw (Figure 6) clockwise, as viewed from back,
until paper is cut the entire length. Retighten hex nut
against frame.
If shear cuts paper in the center, but not the
ends: Loosen hex nut and turn tie-rod adjusting
screw (Figure 6), counter-clockwise until paper is
cut the entire length. Retighten hex nut against
frame.
Figure 6
Make sure scales on table top are square to blade,
and also show correct distance from blade. Make
test cuts to verify that scales are correct. If
adjustment is needed, loosen bolts and shift scales
as needed. Retighten bolts before operating.
7.0 Operation
1. Slide material beneath hold-down and against
back stop and side stops or bevel gauge.
Do not place hands
between material and table while operating
shear.
2. Press foot lever all the way down until cutting
action is complete.
3. Release foot lever, which will rise to original
position.
