RECEIVING THE SHEAR
Examine the shear and accessories package for evidence of any possible damage sustained during transit.
Any damage should be reported to your distributor immediately.
INSTALLING THE SHEAR
Carefully remove the shear from the shipping pallet. Locate the shear in a well-lighted area on a solid level
floor. Use lag screws or bolts with expandable shields or similar holding devices through the mounting feet,
located on the bottom of the side panels.
Place an accurate machinist level on the table top, and check the level of the machine in both directions.
Use metal shims between the floor and the shear mounting surface to adjust the level. After the machine is
level, tighten the mounting bolts.
Periodically, recheck the unit for levelness.
NOTE: Proper levelness greatly affects the performance of your shear, it is very important to ensure
your machine is level prior to operation.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The mild steel capacity of the Model 36 and 52 shear is 16 gauge. Included in the manual is a standard
shearing, bending, and forming conversion chart for various materials including Aluminum, Stainless, and
Plastics. If you have any capacity related questions on materials that do not appear on the chart, please
contact Tennsmith technical support to help determine the exact capacity ratings.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO SHEAR ANY MATERIAL GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM RATING FOR YOUR
SHEAR.
The 36 and 52 is a fixed angle designed machines. Reducing the maximum width of your material does not
increase the capacity rating of this shear.
Never attempt to shear any material which would be less than a ½” cut across the full length of the
table under full capacity.
