DO NOT OPERATE THE SHEAR WITHOUT SAFETY WARNING LABELS AND HOLD DOWN
GUARD IN PLACE.
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.
The 52H shear is available in several electrical configurations, which include both 3-phase and single phase. The
electrics on your shear should be clearly marked on the outside of your electrical box and should be stated on the
original bill of lading from Tennsmith. Only certified electricians should perform electrical connections and any
necessary maintenance on this machine. If you have any questions, please consult Tennsmith.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The mild steel capacity of the Model 52H shear is 16gauge. 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 52H is a fixed angle designed machine. 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.
The model 52H is equipped with a start/stop Power switch (Part #109) located on the right side panel of the shear
facing from the front. Press the green start button to engage the hydraulics and start the shear. Your machine is
now ready to shear. To activate the cutter bar (Part #2); press the footswitch (part #106).
