MSD 7R SHEARS BOLT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS 1. All bolts checked for proper torque after eight (8) hours of initial use and then inspected visually every eight (8) hours thereafter. 2. All SAE Grade 8 bolts or metric class 10.9 may only be retorqued after the initial eight hours break-in period, then must be replaced if retorquing is required again.
1. Always replace bolts and nuts with the same size and class of fastener. Replacement fasteners can be ordered from the Stanley LaBounty Parts Department to ensure the correct part is used (refer to fi gure 5-2). Unless otherwise specifi ed, use class 10.9 metric hex head capscrews, class 10.9 metric fl at head capscrews, and class 12.9 metric socket head capscrews.
MSD 7R SHEARS DRY BOLT TORQUE CHARTS METRIC CLASS 10.9 SIZE FT-LBS M10 x 1.5 M12 x 1.75 Always replace bolts and nuts with the same size and class of fastener. Inferior fasteners can fail and M14 x 2 cause injury or death and damage to the equip- M16 x 2 ment.
MSD 7R SHEARS GUIDE BLADE SHIMMING AND ROTATION The guide blade helps keep the shear blades in line and must be checked daily. See fi gure 5-3. 1. With the shear partially closed so the upper wear area is in contact with the guide blade, check the gap between the wear area on the upper and the guide blade.
MSD 7R SHEARS BLADE ROTATION New blades in proper adjustment will increase the cutting performance of the shear. Proper rotation of blades will provide optimum use and the most performance from the shear. Recommended blade rotation is after approximately 80 hours of use; depending on the material being processed, this interval may be extended.
MSD 7R SHEARS BLADE SHIMMING Blade rotating is recommended every 80 hours of shear usage in order to assure uniform wear so shimming is possible. After rotating the blades the fi nal time, there is a possibility there will be a slight gap between the upper and lower blades, and shimming of the lower blades may be necessary.
Never apply more than two layers of hardsurfacing. The quality and attention to detail in welding can signifi cantly affect the life of the shear. LaBounty strongly recommends that only certifi ed welders be used.

MSD 7R SHEARS MAIN PIVOT GROUP See fi gure 6-9. The main pivot group of your shear is a high-tolerance area requiring regular lubrication. The thrust washers in the main pivot are considered wear parts that will have to be replaced when worn. 1.
MSD 7R SHEARS THE ROTATOR The rotator is capable of 360º continuous rotation for easy, accurate cutting at all angles. The rotator requires special attention for maintenance and proper operating procedure. The rotator is to be used only as a posi- tioning feature, not as a means of bending or breaking material.
1. Always replace bolts and nuts with the same size and class of fastener. Replacement fasteners can be ordered from your dealer or from the LaBounty Parts Department to ensure the correct part is used. Unless otherwise specifi ed, use class 10.9 metric hex head capscrews, class 10.9 metric fl at head capscrews, and class 12.9 metric socket head capscrews.
MSD 7R SHEARS TURNTABLE BEARING LUBRICATION LUBRICATION FREQUENCY Rotating shears in storage should be lubricated at least every six months. Equipment operating frequently in extreme environments should be lubricated at least every eight hours. If the old grease is noted to be in good condition and free of contamination, the interval may be extended.
MSD 7R SHEARS HYDRAULIC REQUIREMENTS The rotating shear requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit in order to operate the rotator. This circuit will need to be a medium pressure (1350-2000 PSI / 93-138 BAR), low fl ow (4-10 GPM / 15-37 LPM) hydraulic circuit. There are minimum and maximum pressure and fl...
