7.15 MULTI-SHEAR TOOL
The Multi-Shear tool is designed to shear standard Unistrut profiles, as well as many other specialty
profiles.
7.15A MULTI-SHEAR TOOL INSTALLATION
SEE FIGURE 30 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
If the punch and die are mounted on the machine, REMOVE THEM.
1. Turn the machine on and put it in the SHEAR position. Run the punch beam above the tool table
up to its highest setting.
2. Place the tool on the tool table under the punch beam, keeping it towards the punch end of the
tool table.
3. Use two finger clamps (B) and loosely mount the tool, using the 1st and fourth set of holes from the
left on the tool table, using one "front" hole and one "rear" hole, as shown.
DO NOT place the Multi-Shear tool any further towards the rear of the machine, due to possible
"bottoming out".
4. Make sure that the tool is located under the beam correctly by aligning the pressure cap (A) under
the beam. Once the tool is squarely under the beam, tighten the finger clamps (B) to hold the tool in
place.
5. Set the upstroke of the machine so that the size of material that you want to shear will feed through
the tool.
6. Make sure that the upstroke is set so that there is spring tension on the pressure block at all times.
7. Set the down stroke of the machine so that the moving blade travels only far enough to shear the
material and no further.
7.15B MULTI-SHEAR TOOL OPERATION
1. The selector switch must be in the SHEAR position to operate this tool.
2. Set the down stroke of the machine so that the moving blade travels only far enough to shear the
material and no further. "Bottoming out" this tool may ruin it!!
3. Feed the material through the shear to the desired length and depress the foot pedal. Put the
Material Length Stop (C) screws into the back of the tool, if so desired.
4. The pressure cap (A) has a grease zerk and the tool has two (2) grease zerks; one on each side.
Grease before using and every two hours thereafter.
5. Lubricate the blades every ten to fifteen cuts.
CAUTION: ALWAYS REMOVE THIS TOOL WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
