PX810 SHEAR CONTROL PANEL OPERATION Please refer to the previous page which shows the 4 functions of the control panel box on your PX810 Shear 1. On/Off Push/Pull Switch. This switch is located on the upper left corner of the box. It is labeled 1.on the previous page.
BLADE CLEARANCE The blade clearance on the PX810 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. However, when shearing lighter gauge materials a tighter blade gap may be desired.
Page 12
REPLACING/ROTATING BLADES The blades on the PX 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.
BACKGAUGE INFORMATION The PX shear is fitted with a front operated 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. The gauge has 30 inches of travel.
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.

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;...
