Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed unpainted metal surfaces.
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING CAUTION: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced. Choose a location that will keep the machine free from vibration and dust from other machinery.
• The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 – 2 times the machines gross weight. • Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
• LEVELING: 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. •...

Manual Back gauge The back gauge adjusts 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.
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 The two material support arms (A) attach to the front of the shear. Remove the capscrews and washers, Position each arm and secure with the washer and capscrew.
BLADE GAP CHART 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.

SHEARING OPERATION 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 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. Initial Start Up •...
Lubrication Locations Located at each end on the top of the shear are two oil fill caps. Keep filled with oil such as Mobil Vactra #2 way oil (or equivalent). The wick inside the fitting helps to slowly distribute the oil to the slide ways. A grease fitting as shown in the figure at right, is located at both ends of the shear.
Air Control Unit The arrow on the lubricator's top surface must point in the direction of air flow. For proper operation, oil must drop through the lubricator sight glass at a rate of 1 to 4 drops per minute. This rate is checked while the air tool is running free.
The bottom blade has four usable edges. After all edges have been used, the blade can be reground or replaced. Contact Baileigh Industrial for replacement blades. To Rotate or Replace the Top Blade 1.
To Rotate or Replace the Bottom Blade 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.
BLADE CARE The blades are made from High Carbon / High-Chrome Alloy tool steel. The multiple shearing edges available will prolong blade life considerably. NEVER allow the blades to contact one another. Lubricate the blade with a light oil when shearing stainless steel or galvanized material. Brush oil on the lower blade as the upper blade will pick up oil during the shearing cycle.
FINGER GUARD WARNING: DO NOT remove the clear plastic finger guards under any circumstances. They are provided to keep your fingers away from the blades. NEVER put any part of your body under or behind this guard and in the path of the hold downs which can crush.
