"always on" running motor. The 10M14-G shear runs very quiet as a result of this motor actuation system. The shear blades are two edged, and upper and lower blades are interchangeable. The shear comes standard with a manual style backgauge that is offered either as a front or rear operated type gauging system.
208/230/460 VAC, 3 PHASE, 60 HZ 8. Approximate weight 5500 lb. * Roper Whitney of Rockford, Inc. recommends the use of high carbon/high chrome blades for shearing stainless steel in production quantities. Note, that these high carbon/high chrome blades are standard on all 10M14 shears.

ROPER WHITNEY of ROCKFORD, INC. SAFETY RULES --- 10M14-G SHEAR 1. WARNING: Electrical Danger -- Misuse or improper installation of machinery connected to a source of electricity may result in accidental shock that could cause injury or death. Installation must conform to National Electric Code (Article 250 - Grounding, etc.) Electrical connections must be made by a trained and qualified electrician.

10. Do not use machine if servicing is required. 11. Use safety glasses and required protective tools. 12. Keep work areas clean and in proper order. 13. Be alert to all potential hazards.

Report any loss or damage to the delivering carrier promptly to insure proper handling of your claim. Also contact your Roper Whitney of Rockford Dealer. Prior to uncrating your 10M14-G shear, read the instructions to remove and lift the shear. Note the "red" instruction tag attached to the lifting eye.
The ram gib-guide bearings are made from bearing bronze, and have grease-pockets packed with bearing grease at the Factory. These are long-life bearings; however, if a problem occurs consult the Roper Whitney of Rockford, Service Department. The motor gear-box is grease packed and requires no maintenance.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING -- Never operate, install blades, or perform maintenance work on your shear without proper supervision, instruction and without first reading and understanding the Operating Instructions in this manual. NEVER OPERATE SHEAR WITH LIFTING EYE INSTALLED! REMOVE THE LIFTING EYE BEFORE OPERATING SHEAR! This shear has been inspected and tested at the factory to cut full length stock of capacity gauge.
Page 15
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!! WARNING: The 10M14-G shear is designed as a single action shear, and each stroke requires a repeat foot switch actuation. Once the foot switch has been tripped, the shear will make one complete stroke unless the stop button is pushed during the stroke.
BLADE REPOSITIONING/REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE The upper and lower blades are two edge blades that can be rotated 180° to provide a new cutting edge. Either when rotating blades or replacing them after regrinding, a procedure is applicable: 1. Refer to Figure 5. 2.
Remove upper blade (item 7) and rotate forward 180°. With new cutting edge in position, replace all bolts (21 each, item 8), and work from center to the ends. Use a wood "pry-bar" to seat top of blade tight to ram blade seat. Tighten all bolts, working from center to the ends, very securely -- recommended tightening bolt torque of 40 ft/lb.

BLADE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE Blade adjustment is factory set to handle rated capacity materials and other various materials of varying thickness. When a blade is replaced, re-positioned or re-sharpened, though, the cutting clearance needs to be checked and adjusted to make sure that the blades do not interfere, and/or an acceptable sheared-edge is obtained.
Page 20
BLADE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE, cont. The blade adjustment is made with the ram adjustment screws as follows -- refer to Figure 6a. 1. Warning: Always set a larger clearance prior to running ram downward after the blades have been replaced, repositioned or re-sharpened. They must not hit! And holddown must be installed while performing the adjustment procedure.

SIDE EXTENSION SQUARING GAUGES Part No. 273940042 The side extension squaring gauges are in 4-foot sections that can be assembled, with multiples, in 8 or 12 foot total gauge lengths. For most applications the four-foot section will be adequate. The four-foot sections are packaged in kit form with applicable scales for dimensional extension.
LIGHT BEAM ASSEMBLY Part No. 273940005 The light beam assembly fits onto the legs and is held with 1/4-20 screws. Electrical connections are made through the control box wall, and connected to terminal strip as shown in Figure 7. WARNING: The electrical connections must be properly grounded by the Green wire, and the 24 volt AC black and white wires must be appropriately connected to the box per Figure7.

REAR OPERATED-MANUAL BACKGAUGE INSTRUCTIONS Part No. 273940002 The backgauge, commonly called a parallel gauge, will travel 24 inches by rotating the handwheel on the right hand cast carrier that's located on the carrier rack-rods. Holding vertical knobs are used to lock the backgauge in position.
FRONT MATERIAL RETURN PART NO. 273940004 The front material return is an optional item that, when shipped as separate components, can be assembled to the shear according to the following procedure: 1. Refer to Figure 8. 2. Attach pusher bar assemblies (items 1 & 2) to pre-tapped holes in bottom of ram using (4) spacers (item 3), (4) 3/8-16 x 2-1/2 long socket head cap screws, (4) 3/8 dia.
