this model.
7.7A CHANNEL SHEAR INSTALLATION
SEE FIGURE 21 BELOW.
The Channel Shear installs under the upper arm in the tool station. The selector switch must be in the
SHEAR position to operate this tool. Before installing the tool, remove the upper blade. Install the spring
guide pins with the head down in the side plate of the shear. REFER TO THE INSERT IN FIGURE 21
BELOW. Slide the return springs over the guide pins, the short one first, followed by the long one.
Replace the top blade. Mount the shear as close to the frame as possible, with the locking handle to the
cylinder end. Make sure that the slug slot in the tool aligns with the slug slot in the tool table. Anchor the
tool with the finger clamps provided.
