6.5.1 Lower Blade Adjustment
Upper and lower shear blades have been factory
aligned and should not require immediate
adjustment. Should re-alignment be needed in
the future, proceed as follows:
1. Place a heavy sheet of paper in the cutting
position, along entire length of bed, and
make a cut.
2. If the shear does not cut the paper, loosen
screw (L, Figure 8) at each end of table, with
8mm hex key.
3. Rotate adjustment screws (M, Figure 9) to
shift table and change the gap between
blades. Do not allow the blades to
overlap.
Figure 9
4. If the shear cuts the paper on the ends, but
not the center, slightly turn screw (N, Figure
10) clockwise until paper is cut the entire
length.
5. If the shear cuts the paper in the center, but
not the ends, turn screw (N)
counterclockwise until paper is cut the entire
length.

6.5.2 Blade Rotation/Replacement
Exercise caution when
working with or near the blades. Use work
gloves when handling them.
The shearing blades are reversible and
interchangeable; when the edges dull, rotate
them to the new edge, as follows:
1. Remove hold-down by loosening screws (O,
Figure 11), using 6mm hex key.
2. Raise upper blade to highest position.
3. Remove seven screws (P, Figure 11) and
carefully remove blade.
4. Rotate or replace blade and re-install screws
(P).
5. Reinstall hold-down. When blade is in
highest position, the gap between the hold-
down and the table should be within 1/4”.
Adjust to this position by turning the two
screws (O, Figure 11) as needed. When the
blade starts its downward travel, the hold-
down should immediately hold workpiece in
place.
