7.10A SQUARE TUBE SHEAR INSTALLATION
SEE FIGURE 25 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
This tool mounts on the tool table. The machine must be in the SHEAR position to operate this tool.
1. Mount the tool over the slug release slot in the table and squarely under the upper arm.
2. Grease the pressure cap (A) before using and every two hours, thereafter.
3. Anchor the tool with the finger clamps (C) provided.
4. Set the upstroke of the machine so that the size of tube you want to shear will feed through the
tool. Make sure that the upstroke is set so that there is spring tension on the pressure block at all
times.
5. Set the down stroke so that the upper blade passes the lower blade by approximately 1/8".
7.10B SQUARE TUBE SHEAR OPERATION
