ROTATION
The third blade rotation will be performed exactly the same as the rst rotation. After completing the third rotation,
order a complete LaBounty blade kit, as all blades will need to be discarded and replaced with new blades during the
fourth rotation.
1. Set the shear on the ground, as shown. Remove the
lower blades. Rotate each lower blade, end over end,
180° (Pitch Rotation). Return them to their original
blade seats.
2. Place the shear upside down so that the upper is
close to the ground. Rotate each upper blade, end
over end, 180° (Pitch Rotation). Return them to their
original blade seats. Shim as shown in “Measuring &
Shimming Blade Gaps” on page 28.
