Unpacking the 2001EVO Shear
Care should be exercised unpacking the shear. To facilitate proper packing, the shear was
partially disassembled. In order to reassemble the shear for safe operation, it is essential that you
locate all of the parts for the shear before any packing materials are discarded. The following is a list
of the parts or assemblies included with your shear:
If any parts are missing, please call Accu Cutter before attempting to reassemble the shear.
Work Surface
Make sure the work surface is clean and free from debris. The shear should sit flat and level.
There should be sufficient room on all sides of the shear so nothing will interfere with its safe opera-
tion.
Assembling the 2001EVO Shear
1. Install the Handle. If the safety shield has been removed, it is easier to install the handle
before the safety shield is installed. However, the shear should not be used before the safety
shield is installed. To install the handle, locate the two 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolts and lock nuts. Slide the
flat end of the handle between the two aluminum triangles, line up the holes, and insert the bolts.
(No. 6, Figure 3, Page 4) A large Phillips screwdriver and 9/16" wrench are required.
