Motor
Your D WALT tool is powered by a D
E
with the nameplate marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power
and overheating. D WALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check power
E
supply.

COMPONENTS (FIG. 1)

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could
result.
A. Blades
B. Shoe
C. Curl Deflector
D. Paddle Switch
E. Lock Button
INTENDED USE
The DW893 12-gauge shear is designed for professional cutting at various work sites (i.e.,
construction sites). DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or
gases.
These 12-gauge shears are professional power tools. DO NOT let children come into contact
with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Switches (Fig. 1)
To start tool, depress the paddle switch (D). To turn the tool off, release the paddle. The paddle
switch can be locked on by engaging the lock button (E) located near the rear of the tool, while
holding the paddle depressed. Always be sure that the tool is not locked on before plugging in. To
turn the tool off when it is locked on, squeeze and release the paddle once.
OPERATION (FIG. 2)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
Most blade wear (dulling of edges) is on the back edge. Symptoms of blade wear include: difficulty
in cutting material, ragged cut edge, heavier burr, and increased vibration while cutting.
Your shear is equipped with two identical blades with four cutting edges on each blade. The
moving blade wears faster than the stationary blade. However, it is advisable to rotate both
blades to fresh edges at the same time.
TO ROTATE THE BLADES
Remove the two blade clamp screws (H, J). Rotate each blade to a fresh edge. Replace screws
exactly as they were removed. Note that the stationary blade clamp screw is longer and will
cause damage to the tool if it is used to secure the moving blade (G, Fig. 2).
Stationary blade (L) must be snug against the gap adjusting screw (K). Check and adjust blade
gap (I) if necessary. (See following section on adjusting the blade gap.) Tighten all screws.
To Adjust the Blade Gap
Loosen the clamp screw (J) and set the blade gap by moving the set screw (K) in or out to the
specification chart (Fig. 3). Tighten all screws.
Cutting Tips
• Proper blade gap (I) is important.
• Dull blades increase user pressure on tool to cut and could result in damage to tool.
• Always start tool before engaging material.
• Keep metal surface dry. Otherwise, shear will tend to rebound (slide back) at each cutting
stroke.
• Cut material so that scrap is to the right. This cutting direction will move curl down and out
of the way.
• When cutting a radius, turn the shear counterclockwise for easier maneuvering.
• Best cutting (least effort) can be achieved when back of tool is lowered 5º - 10º.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at least once a week. Wear
proper ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) eye protection and proper NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts
of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
Lubrication
D WALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready to use. Tools should be
E
relubricated regularly every 60 days to 6 months, depending on usage. Tools used constantly
on production or heavy-duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrica-
tion. This lubrication should only be attempted by trained power tool repairmen such as those at
D WALT certified service centers.
E

Règles générales de sécurité concernant
les outils à piles
AVERTISSEMENT : Lire toutes ces directives. Tout manquement aux directives
suivantes pose des risques de choc électrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessure
grave. Le terme « outil électrique » dans tous les avertissements ci-après se rapporte
à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).
CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES
1) SÉCURITÉ - AIRE DE TRAVAIL
a) Maintenir l'aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont
propices aux accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner un outil électrique dans une atmosphère explosive, en
présence par exemple de poussières, gaz ou liquides inflammables. Les outils élec-
triques peuvent engendrer des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer toute émanation ou
poussière ambiante.
c) Tenir les enfants, ou toute autre personne, éloignés pendant l'utilisation d'un outil
électrique. Toute distraction pourrait vous faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.
2) SÉCURITÉ – ÉLECTRICITÉ
a) La fiche électrique de l'outil doit correspondre à la prise murale. Ne jamais
modifier la fiche en aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un
outil électrique mis à la terre. L'utilisation de fiches d'origine et de prises appropriées
réduira les risques de choc électrique.
b) Éviter tout contact corporel avec des éléments mis à la terre comme tuyaux,
radiateurs, cuisinières ou réfrigérateurs. Les risques de choc électrique augmentent
lorsque le corps est mis à la terre.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l'humidité. Toute pénétration d'un
outil électrique par un liquide augmente les risques de choc électrique.
