INSTALLATION Levelling The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on the precise placement of it to the mounting surface. Level the table to within .003”/ft.
Electrical WARNING: Baileigh Industrial is not responsible for any damage caused by wiring up to an alternative 3-phase power source other than direct 3- phase. If you are using an alternate power source, consult a certified electrician or contact Baileigh Industrial prior to energizing the machine.

WORKPIECE COUNTER – The counter registers each completed cycle that the upper blade makes. The slide switch at the upper right of the counter, when in the locked position, keeps the counter from accidentally being reset. To reset the counter, press the button in the upper left corner.
Page 25
CUTTING MODE SELECTOR SWITCH – This is a 3- position selector switch which allows you to pick one INCH of three shearing modes. Pressing the foot pedal in AUTO the SIN (singular) mode will complete one full shear cycle. In INCH mode the top blade can be stepped down gradually.
Blade Gap Adjusting Handle The process of shearing can produce a shear edge burr. This burr can be minimized by adjusting the blade gap to the thickness of material being sheared and by keeping the blades sharp. The gap distance (fig.12) is changed by positioning the handle up or down as in (fig.
Manual Back Gauge The back gauge is used to adjust the setting of the back gauge dimension to control the size of the pieces dropping behind the blades. The manual back gauge assembly will need to be attached to the back end of the shear. There are two blocks with holes in them for this purpose.
Squaring Arm The squaring arm is used to square the material to the shear blade. It can also be used for front gauging by utilizing the graduated scale or as a material support. The adjustable rotating dog pivots out of the way when material passes over it. The dog pops up when the material passes allowing it to be used as a stop at a predetermined dimension.
Rake Angle The Baileigh SH-8008HD shear has a variable rake angle that can be adjusted to suit the width of the piece part that is being cut. Rake angle is the angle of the moving blade as it passes the fixed blade and is a factor in determining a quality cut.
SHEAR OPERATING PROCEDURE Start Machine Power 1. Turn the main disconnect clockwise to the ON position (A). 2. The POWER lamp (B) will be illuminated. Start Hydraulic Pump Motor 1. Verify that the inlet and outlet valves on the hydraulic tank are open.
Single Mode CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. Keep hands and fingers clear of the shearing blade and clamping cylinders. When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported. When performing a cut in the SIN mode, pressing the foot pedal will complete one full shear cycle.
Auto Mode CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. Keep hands and fingers clear of the shearing blade and clamping cylinders. When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported. When performing a cut in AUTO mode, pressing and holding the foot pedal will cycle the upper blade continuously as long as the foot pedal is depressed.
Inch Mode CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. Keep hands and fingers clear of the shearing blade and clamping cylinders. When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported. When in the INCH mode the upper blade can be stepped down gradually.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. Daily Maintenance ...
The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and also must lubricate the running parts of the pump. The hydraulic reservoir was filled to approximately 80% of capacity before leaving Baileigh Industrial. After installation of the machine and before machine startup, bring the oil level up to 90% of capacity.
The blades on the Baileigh SH-8008HD shear have multiple usable edges. If you have not already used both cutting edges on the top blade you can rotate it end for end to expose a sharp edge.
To Rotate or Replace the Top Blade: CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. Keep hands and fingers clear of the shearing blade and clamping cylinders. 1.
