Please verify that the following safety decals are attached to the LM Shear. If you do not locate all of the decals, please contact Tennsmith to replace any missing or unreadable safety labels. NEVER operate this machine without the proper safety labeling.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not operate service or perform maintenance prior to reading and understanding the instruction manual. Become familiar with and understand the hazards and limitations of your shear. Wear approved eye protection and protective footwear while operating the machine. Be certain this machine is properly wired and grounded to conform to the National Electric Code.

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 LM1010 shear weighs approximately 10,000 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.

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 – This is for continuous operation of the cutter head of the shear. To engage the continuous mode, select run on switch 2 (Jog/Run Switch) and select Cont.
BLADE CLEARANCE The blade clearance on the LM1010 was set at the factory to .004 in. on the ends of the blades with a .003 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.

Reposition the hold down assembly. BACKGAUGE INFORMATION The LM1010 shear is fitted with a front operated powered back gauge as standard equipment. The gauge was installed and calibrated at the factory and shipped intact mounted on the shear. Inspect the gauge carefully to determine any possible movement or damage in transit.
Page 17
USING THE DRO BACKGAUGE To operate the backgauge: 1. Press and hold the “IN” button located on the control box to move backgauge in. 2. Press and hold the “OUT” button located on the control box to move backgauge out. NOTE: FORWARD AND REVERSE OVER-TRAVEL SWITCHES ARE INSTALLED TO PREVENT BACKGAUGE CRASHES.
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;...
