SECTION 3 : OPERATIONS
Handle Adjustment
The handle is shipped mounted to the right side of
the machine. If left hand operation is required the
handle can be moved to the opposite side of the
machine:
1.
Remove one of the handles.
2.
Loosen the handle adjustment knob and
slide the handle arm out of the slot.
3.
Slide the handle arm into the opposite side
and tighten the handle adjustment knob.
4.
Re-attach the handle.
5.
The handle arm can be positioned for the
desired torque. The longer the handle arm,
the greater amount of torque which can be
applied.
Operating this equipment has the potential
for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when oper-
ating equipment. Everyday glasses or read-
ing glasses only have impact resistant lens-
es, they are not safety glasses. Be certain
the safety glasses you wear meet the appro-
priate standards of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI).
G6089 12" Sheet Metal Machine
Shearing
For precision shearing from 2'' to 10'' lengthwise,
first attach the back measurement assembly to
the receiver holes in the back of the crossbeam:
1.
To adjust the position of the back measure-
ment assembly, first loosen the two (2)
knobs.
2.
Move the assembly forward and back using
the handwheel. When it is at the desired
position, tighten the knobs to lock it into posi-
tion.
3.
If a precise 90˚ angle is desired, attach the
guide to the left side of the cutting table
using the two (2) Allen
4.
Using the handle assembly, raise the upper
cutting die to the highest position. Slide the
workpiece in between the braking die and the
work surface.
5.
Rotate the handle assembly to shear the
workpiece at the desired location.
During shearing operations, there are two condi-
tions which may cause uneven cuts:
1.
Shear Bow. There is a tensioning adjustment
on the shear plate which can create a bow
necessary to cut certain materials. Adjust the
tension on the bolt attached to the shear
frame adjustment bar. Tightening the bolt will
cause the ends of the shear to bow out, loos-
ening the bolt will cause them bow in.
