Blade Adjustments

The fixed (lower) blade on the Model T10051 is adjustable to allow for different materials and to compensate for wear to the blades. The blade position is factory set and only needs to be adjust- ed if there is excessive binding between the fixed and moving blade or if a gap exists between the blades that causes the workpiece to bend, rather than shear between the blades.

The ideal blade adjustment will vary depending on the material and dimensions of your workpiece. Above all, make sure the fixed blade is parallel with the moving blade and contacts it evenly along the entire width.

To adjust the blade:

1.Remove the blade guard.

2.Loosen, but do not remove the four blade cap screws (Figure 7).

3.Use a ball head 3mm hex wrench to adjust the blade adjustment screws to fine-tune the position of the fixed blade (Figure 8).

—Turning the blade adjustment screw clock- wise will move the fixed blade outward, towards the moving blade.

—Turning the blade adjustment screw coun- terclockwise will move the fixed blade inward, away from the moving blade.

4.Once the fixed blade is set parallel to the moving blade, tighten the four blade cap screws, then re-install the blade guard.

5.Test the performance of the shear on a scrap workpiece.

—If the results are satisfactory, no further adjustment is necessary.

—If the results are not satisfactory, repeat Steps 1–5until the results meet your stan- dards.
