OPERATION

WARNING! Do not operate this tool until you have read this entire manual. Follow all safety information,
warnings, cautions, and notes provided.
WARNING! The edge of sheet metal is very sharp. Always wear protective gloves when handling sheet metal.
CAUTION! Do not cut across a welded seam as this may damage the blades.
CAUTION! Do not obstruct the motor vents in the Cover (no. 48) during use. Obstructions may cause the motor to
overheat during use, possibly damaging the tool.
1. Plug the power cord into a circuit breaker protected 120V 60Hz power outlet.
2. To turn on the tool slide the power switch (38) forward to the ON position. The upper shear blade (12) will
begin to move up and down at high speed.
NOTE: It is a good idea to make a few practice cuts on scrap material before cutting your workpiece.
3. To cut material, fit the tool rest (1) over the edge of the material and slowly move the tool forward along the
desired cut line of the material.
NOTE: It is the movement of the upper shear blade against the lower shear blade that causes the material
to be cut.
4. To stop cutting, slide the power switch back to the OFF position.
5. Unplug the tool.
