Uncrating and Clean-Up
1. Remove the crate from around the machine.
2. Carefully clean all rust protected surfaces
with a mild solvent or kerosene and a soft
rag. Do not use lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, or gasoline. These will damage
painted surfaces.
3. Coat all machined surfaces with a light coat
of oil to inhibit rust.
4. Remove the bolts holding the machine to the
skid.
5. Carefully move the machine to a level
foundation. Machine location must allow
access to all sides.
Assembly Note: Prior to shipment the foot
shear is adjusted at the factory for proper
operation. If the machine does not operate
properly, or the stand does not sit squarely on
the floor proceed to setup.
Stop Assembly
The (#) in the text refers to the breakdown.
1. Attach the two front arm extensions #6 to
the bed with four hex socket cap screws and
washers.
2. Attach the stop to the front extension arms
with T-nuts #72.
3. Attach the rear stop #59 to the adjusting
block assembly #61.
4. Insert the rod # 58 through the adjusting
block assembly and into the cutter bar.
Tighten in place with setscrews.
Setup
1. Loosen four bolts #21. Loosen adjusting
screws #18 & 19. The bed must rest
squarely on the right and left hand side
panels at all four corners while screws are
loose. Shim legs at floor if necessary.
Tighten hardware.
2. Use set screw #18 and hex cap screw #19,
to adjust the lower blade towards or away
from the upper blade.
between the upper and lower blades should
be 0.002-0.005".
Do not let the blades overlap.
3. Place a heavy sheet of paper (~0.005") in
the cutting position, along the entire length
of the bed, and slowly press the foot lever.
4. If the shear does not cut the paper move the
lower blade towards the upper blade.
5. If the shear cuts the paper on the ends, but
not the center, turn the tie-rod adjusting
screw #37, clockwise until the paper is cut
the entire length.
6. If the shear cuts the paper in the center, but
not the ends, turn the tie-rod adjusting screw
#37, counter-clockwise until the paper is cut
the entire length.
7. Make sure the scales #15 and #16 on top of
the bed are square to the blade, and also
show the correct distance from the blade.
8. Make test cuts to verify the scale is correct.
Blade Care
The 2-way upper blade can be removed and
flipped 180°, for a sharp edge before having to
sharpen the blade.
Wipe the blade lightly with oil. Lubricate all pivot
points on the machine daily.
Spring Tension
The spring return can be adjusted on the foot
lever by tightening #46 hex nuts.
The spring return can be adjusted on the hold
down #3 by tightening #10 hex nuts.
Gib Adjustment
There are three hex cap screws #32 that can be
adjusted for play in the shim #31. Adjust for
smooth travel.
