FRONT HANDLE
The front handle should always be used to
guide and balance the tool. Use the front
handle for safe control and ease of operation.

OPERATING TIPS

Following a few simple tips will reduce wear
on both the tool and the operator.
1. Before beginning a cutting operation with
the shear, check the recommended
clearances for the material being cut.
2. Dull blades produce dull results! Always
cut with properly maintained blades. Refer
to blade Sharpening for instructions.

BLADE SHARPENING

After regrinding on a grinding stone suitable
for alloy tool steel, check the accuracy of
angles with the gauge provided in the
accessory group for the tool.
For very thick materials (8 and 10 gauge
shears), easier starts and longer blade life
can be realized if the working surface of the
upper blade has been ground to a .08"
radius and .004" depth as shown.

3. With the tool in the "OFF" position,
become familiar with handling the tool. The
tool may be held along the handle wherever
it is fond comfortable while cutting.
4. For clean and fast cuts, hold the shear so
that the upper (reciprocating) blade is at
about a 10º angle to the material being cut.
Do not force the shear through the work. If
the shear does not cut correctly, recheck for
proper blade clearances and dull blades.
5. Do not exceed the recommended
capacities.
