4.5. The Blade Guard
The Shear is equipped with a Blade Guard which also acts as an Infeed Clamp. The
Guard is adjustable and is locked in place using the Blade Guard Handle. The Guard
should always be adjusted to leave minimum space for the feeding of material in order to
prevent the material being sheared from kicking up or skidding forward.
