MACHINE ASSEMBLY Foot Pedal Installation 1. Loosen the set screw (A) on each pedal pivot pin (B) and slide the pin out of the pivot block. 2. Lightly grease the inside of the pivot tube on each end of the pedal assembly about 3”-4”...
Installing Front Extension Rails 1. Remove the (4) cap screws and flatwashers (A) to the machined rail pads. 2. Position the rail onto the mounting pads and loosely install the capscrews and flatwashers. 3. Line up the rail channel with the channel on the table, making sure the top machined surfaces are flush.
Installing the Rear Gauge Shafts Note: When using for the first time, verify the dimension “X” from the face of the lower blade to the front edge of the stop angle. 1. Slide the gauge shafts into the housing hole with the scales facing up and lightly tighten each set screw (A).
MACHINE FUNCTIONS Foot Pedal Stepping down on the foot pedal does two things. First it lowers the hold downs which keep the piece part from moving during a cut. Second it lowers the top blade past the lower blade to shear the material. Front and Rear Extension Rods The front extensions help support large sheets of material and the rear extensions provide support for the micro-adjusters.
Material Support Arm CAUTION: When handling large piece parts, you may require assistance in handling the piece as it exits the blades. Failure to adequately support the piece part may result in the piece falling and causing bodily injury. The two material support arms (A) attach to the front of the shear.
SHEARING CYCLE WARNING: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. The shearing blade poses an amputation hazard. Make sure no body part or clothing is near the specific hazard. Failure to follow this warning could result in severed or crushed fingers.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the air supply 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 •...
REPLACING THE SHEAR BLADES The blades on the Baileigh SF-5216 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. The bottom blade has four usable edges.

5. When the blade is in position, secure with the bolts and washers that were removed previously. 6. Set the gap to .005” (.12mm) making sure the blades are parallel along the entire length. 7. The blade gap adjustment screws (B) were preset at the factory. ADJUST ONLY IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
To Rotate or Replace the Bottom Blade: WARNING: The shearing blade poses an amputation hazard. Always wear proper safety footwear and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. Failure to follow this warning could result in severed or crushed fingers. 1.
RAM WAYS ADJUSTMENT The ram ways are adjustable to compensate for wear which can be expected after years of service. Premature wear can occur if the machine is not properly leveled which causes a twisting action. The proper running clearance should be from 0.001” - 0.002” (0.038mm - 0.050mm). This clearance should be checked periodically and maintained to extend blade life and to hold accuracy of the shear.
MATERIAL SELECTION CAUTION: It must be determined by the customer that materials being processed through the machine are NOT potentially hazardous to operator or personnel working nearby. When selecting materials keep these instructions in mind: • Material must be clean and dry. (without oil) •...
BLADE CLEARANCE The blade gap on the shear was set at the factory. At this setting it will shear mild steel up to 16ga. (1.52mm) and stainless steel up to 20ga. (.912mm). To measure the blade gap, gradually lower the top blade and measure the gap going from left to right while facing the rear of the machine.
