Leveling
Leveling the shear helps the blades and other
cast-iron components remain straight and flat
during the life of the machine. Components on
an unleveled machine may slowly twist over time
due to the dynamic loads placed on the machine
during operation. Twisted components will impair
the ability of the machine to cut straight or square.
If needed, use metal shims between the base and
the workbench to level the machine. Measure with
a precision level that is at least 12" long and sensi-
tive enough to show a distance movement when a
0.003" shim is placed under one end of the level.
Assembly
The machine must be fully assembled before it
can be operated. Before beginning the assembly
process, refer to Needed for Setup and gather
all listed items. To ensure the assembly process
goes smoothly, first clean any parts that are cov-
ered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if
applicable).
Assembly of the Model G0828/G0829 consists of
attaching the work stop support rods, work stop
adjustment assembly, and cutting lever.
