DANGER! Do not attempt to remove the hold down before inserting and bottoming out the hold down compression bolts (71). The compression bolts were shipped with the machine. When receiving the shear the bolts are located inside of the electrical box. Please remove them and store them in a location to be accessible.
The unit is shipped with a lifting bolt attached on the top of the cutter head. The shear should be lifted and positioned by using a sling or chain passed through the lifting bolt. CAUTION! The LM1014 shear weighs approximately 7,000 lbs. net. Be sure to verify the maximum load permissible for a given chain or sling.

Please note if your switch does not illuminate in the out position, you must immediately replace the bulb located within the switch. It is unsafe to operate this shear without the illuminated switch. Please contact Tennsmith if you need assistance replacing the bulb. 2. To the right of the Push/Pull Switch is the Jog/Run Switch: This selector type switch is designated 2 on the previous page.

If you have any questions on this procedure, please consult the factory prior to any adjustments on your shear. 4. Stroke Selector Switch: This switch is located towards the bottom of the panel and is designated 5 on the previous page. The switch has two options: Cont –...
BLADE CLEARANCE The blade clearance on the LM1014 was set at the factory to .003 in. on the ends of the blades with a .002 gap in the center of the machine. At this setting, your shear should provide satisfactory results over a broad range of materials and thickness.
Page 15
REPLACING/ROTATING BLADES The blades on the LM Series shears are four edged blades constructed of high carbon, high chromium tool steel. Top and bottom blades are interchangeable. Upon utilizing all four edges of you blades, you may return the blades to the factory for re-sharpening or to a qualified blade re-sharpener, such as a blade manufacturer.
Page 16
With all bolts in place, securely torque the bolts while insuring that the blade is properly seated in the machined blade slot of the cutter head by using either a brass or wood pry bar. Repeat the above procedures similarly to reposition the bottom blade. Use the procedures outlined in the BLADE CLEARANCE section of this manual to reset the proper baled gap.
Hold Down Adjustment The following is the instructions to raise the hold down height to reduce the pressure (Hold down) on your LM shear: Using the jog mode, depress the jog button until the machine cutter head reaches the bottom or its lowest position.

SHEET SUPPORT SYSTEM a. Single Stroke: When the foot pedal is activated, the sheet support will drop down and remain down until the cycle is complete and then return to the up position. b. Continuous Stroke: When the foot pedal is activated, the sheet support will drop down and stay down as long as the foot pedal is activated.
MAINTENANCE On a monthly basis, remove the top cover (11) of each side panel and grease the gib plates (9, 10, 15). This can be best accomplished by jogging the cutter head down to the extreme down-stroke position, thus exposing a majority of the gib surface. WARNING! MAKE SURE THE POWER TO THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURN OFF WHEN APPLING LUBRICATES.

There are specific instances when the brake voltage can be tapped from the motor's terminal block. The advantage of brake systems wired in this way is when power is applied to the motor, the brake releases, (requiring no additional brake supply power wiring). The brake can be wired to the motor terminal block under the following conditions: a single speed motor;...
