4. Release the return arm back into place ensuring
die retaining pin is properly seated into the die.
To remove:
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. Pull and hold the return arm outward and slide
both dies out.
Shearing
Before shearing:
Inspect the dies for cracks or
WARNING
other damage. Do not use dam-
aged dies. Using damaged dies could result in
serious personal injury.
Do not shear stainless steel. Cutting improper
material may damage the shear head or result
in serious personal injury.
• Ensure die retaining pin is properly seated and dies
are properly installed.
• Dies must be used in an APPROVED COMBINATION
of die and strut. Improper combinations can result in
a faulty shear.
• Inspect and discard workpieces with unacceptable
defects.
1. Insert the battery pack.
2. Insert the strut in to the installed dies.
NOTE: When shearing strut channel, the work
piece must always be supported by the strut sup-
port plate. The strut support plate is designed to
support the strut during the shearing operation
and is needed to produce the cleanest possible
shear. The strut support plate is positioned 4" off
the shearing plane. The tool sits at a height that
specifically allows the free end of a strut to be sup-
ported by a piece of 1-5/8" strut when used on a
flat surface. It is not recommended to cut anything
shorter than a 5" piece of strut. The squareness
of the cut piece will be diminished.
3. Ensure the tool is secured either to a table, stand,
or other flat and stable surface. Slide the trigger
lock-off switch to the unlock
trigger halfway to activate the LED worklight. Pull
the trigger all the way to start the strut shear.
4. Once the strut is sheared, release the trigger to
maximize tool life versus letting the tool ram head
"dead head" and return on it's own.
NOTE: If the die gets stuck in the extended posi-
tion, refer to "Lubrication".
5. If service is needed, the LED work lights will blink
repeatedly. After 2000 cuts are made with the
work light blinking, the tool will permanently shut
off until service is performed by a MILWAUKEE
service facility.
Backup Release Valve
If the ram head must be returned without the battery
pack installed, press and hold the backup release
valve. Hold tool securely until the ram head retracts
fully.
The strut shear can be attached to the MILWAUKEE
6" Leveling Tripod Chain Vise, competitive tri-stand,
or be screwed down to a secured work surface by
a 5 mm hole located in the tri-stand chain mount.
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the battery pack, charger, or tool, except as pro-
vided in these instructions. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for all other repairs.
WARNING! Inspect the dies for cracks or other
damage. Do not use damaged dies. Using damaged
dies could result in serious personal injury. Ensure
the die channel within the clevis is clean of debris
before each use.
Hot-dipped galvanized strut may have beads or other
artifacts from the plating process that will cause addi-
tional resistance when inserting the strut into the dies.
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
NOTE: If service is needed, the LED work lights will
blink repeatedly. After 2000 cuts are made with the
work light blinking, the tool will permanently shut off
until service is performed by a MILWAUKEE service
facility.
