Page 4: Extension Cords
. When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXTENSION COrDS Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size. Guidelines for Using Extension Cords • If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use. Electric Metal Shear Operator’s Manual GES40... - Page 5 • Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. • Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Page 8: Assembly And Adjustments
Never hold the workpiece with one hand and the tool with the other hand. Severe injury may result. NOTE: Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the ratings plate. 1. Secure the workpiece. 2. Place the side blades on the top side of edge of the workpiece where you want to begin your cut. 3. Pull the Trigger Switch and guide into work. > Hold the shear so the main body is parallel to the workpiece. > Blades are to be at right angles to work. > Engage the blades at the edge of the material. > Apply sufficient forward pressure to begin cutting. Too much tilt in operation will stop the cut. > Do not force. 4. To make an inside cut (a cut completely inside the perimeter of the workpiece), drill a starting hole and follow instruction above. 5. If there is a problem in the operation, stop using the tool. Check for the following: proper lubrication, thickness of the material and sharpness of the blades.

Page 9: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE BLADE MAINTENANCE (FIG 3) 1. unplug the tool. 2. using the Hex key remove the three head bolts (5). 3. The left blade (3), right blade (2), center blade (1) and the two bushings (6) will be loose. 4. Clean, replace or sharpen the blades as required. Replace blades as a set only. 5. Reassemble by repositioning the blades and bushings as illustrated. Replace the head bolts and tighten them securely. 6. Test the product to be sure that it is working properly. FIG 3 7. The left and right blades are slotted. They can be adjusted to change the direction of the curl of waste material. To adjust: a) unplug the tool. b) Loosen all three head bolts. c) Make a slight adjustment to the left or right blade as needed. -
