Stops & Guides

The front stop and angle guide are quickly adjusted by wing nuts on the top of the stops. The rear extension arms have micro-adjusting stops (Figure 15) that allow you to fine tune your cut length. For the most accurate cuts, make sure that you have at least one square edge up against a stop.

Operation Overview

To use the foot shear:

1.Mark the workpiece along the line to be cut.

2.Place the workpiece on the table and adjust it so that the line made in Step 1 is aligned with the edge of the bottom blade.

—If you are making repetitive cuts, place a stop against the workpiece. For each cut that follows, place the workpiece against the stop to create the same cut.

3.Step down on the foot pedal until the cut is complete.

—If the workpiece is longer than the exten- sion arms can support, have an assistant wear heavy leather gloves and boots and support the workpiece while it is cut, so it doesn't fall to the floor and get damaged.

Shearing Tips

•For the best results, never cut any piece nar- rower than eight times the thickness of the material. For example 1⁄2" strip of 0.06" mild steel.

•Keep the blade gap to the smallest distance possible.

Finger Guard

A clear plastic finger guard is fixed to the front of the hold-down. Under no circumstances should this guard be removed. It will keep your fingers away of the blades but it will NOT protect you from the crushing force of the hold-down. Never put any part of your body under or behind this finger guard! Be sure to keep the guard in working order and maintain the position and readability of all the warning labels.
