IN ADDITION TO THE SIX BASIC STEPS OF OPERATION, THE OPERATOR SHOULD ALSO
BE FAMILIAR WITH THE FOLLOWING:
A. MAINTAIN PROPER BLADE CLEARANCE.
The quality of the cut is an immediate indication of the condition of the Shear Blades, the amount of
clearance between the blades or the amount of "spring-back" in the Shear Arm.
The Shear Blades are symmetrical and can be rotated to expose four (4) cutting edges.
For recommended clearances, SEE FIGURE 12 ON PAGE 33.
B. ALL CUTS SHOULD BE MADE AS FAR FROM THE ARM PIVOT AS POWER WILL
PERMIT.
The Shear Blades should contact the workpiece as flat as possible, to reduce to a minimum the amount of
"curl" on the cut-off piece. More shearing force is obtained as the operator moves the workpiece toward
the left. The machine is designed to shear mild steel rated on 60,000 tensile.
The maximum capacity of the bar shear is 1 x 6 inch (25 x 150mm) mild steel.
