Note: To aid in re-installation, record the ori- entation of each die as your remove it.

7.Thoroughly clean the dies and mounting area with a solvent or mineral spirits to remove debris, mill flash, and built-up grime.

Note: If you will be storing the dies, protect them with a light coat of an anti-rust prod- uct like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on Page 35 for more details).

11.Install the bottom die and fully tighten the flat head cap screws to secure the die tight to the front panel.

12.Install the top die and fully tighten the cap screws to secure it in place.

Angle Iron Shearing

Dies

Each of the dies at the angle iron shearing station have four different mounting positions to use a different set of cutting edges.

Because of the critical positioning in relation to each other, these dies cannot be sharpened. When they become damaged or dull, call Grizzly Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 to order new ones.

To re-install the angle iron shearing dies, use the same tools, clearance specification, and proce- dures used in re-installing the flat stock shearing dies (refer to Page 45).
