MAKING CUTS
The EZ Shear™ is operated manually. The two-part handle is grasped by the operator and pushed down
to make a cut. ALWAYS KEEP HANDS / FINGERS AWAY FROM THE BLADE!
CUTTING
1. Unlock safety lock by sliding knob over and down.
2. Insert material. It is recommended that you HOLD MATERIAL IN PLACE until the cut is complete.
3. PUSH HANDLE DOWN TO CUT. Some effort may be required depending on hardness of material.
4. CAUTION: Handle is spring loaded. DO NOT ALLOW HANDLE TO SLAM BACK AFTER MAKING A CUT.
TIP: DOUBLE CUTTING
Most materials (listed on p. 10) shear very well with just one
cut. However, some brands of laminate flooring and other
products may require cutting twice to produce a better cut.
Simply make your first cut 1/8" to 1/4" (3 to 6mm) longer
than your mark, then go back and make your second cut on
your mark. This is very useful to create a cleaner cut when
trim cannot be used to cover your cut end.
USE EXTREME CAUTION! Blade is very sharp.
!
SAFETY LOCK
For maximum security, the safety lock will automatically
reset in the "locked" position unless disengaged. The safety
lock can be disengaged by sliding the knob over and down,
hooking into slot. (Shown Right)
TRANSPORT
It is important to re-engage lock and secure handle in
down position while storing, carrying, or transporting your
EZ Shear™.

CUSTOM SETTINGS
THE ANVIL
The Anvil has two edges: a 1/32" (0.75mm) narrow edge and a
3/16" (4.5mm) wide edge. Either edge can be used according
to the support needed to make a clean cut. (Some soft-backed
products require the wider anvil edge).
TO CHANGE
BETWEEN EDGES
Simply remove the anvil screws and flip the anvil over. Ensure
blade stop is in place.

MAINTENANCE
REPLACING BLADE
The blade must be placed with the flat side toward
the table. Only use compatible blades, see blade
compatibility chart on page 2. Any other blade
will not perform properly and may damage your
machine.
WHEN TO HONE
There are three situations when it is very important
to hone the blade (remove burrs) on the flat side of
the blade.
1. After the first 30-100 cuts on a new blade
2. Every 100+ cuts on the job
3. When the blade has been re-sharpened
SHARPENING THE BLADE
The blade can be sharpened to restore a one-side, 21º - 22º knife edge. It is important to note that the
blade must be sharpened only on the beveled side, leaving the flat side flat.
We recommend that power grinding only be done professionally, as the blade must be fluid cooled during this process.
TO HONE
With the blade in the machine, it is quick and
easy to hone; Simply pull the EZ Shear™ handle
down until the blade is just above the blade stop
(approximately 1/8"). Then, lay the wide flat side
of the hone stone against the flat side of the
blade and move hone stone from end to end 2
to 3 times to remove any burrs.
Use Hand Protection! Blade is very sharp!
Note: It is not necessary to remove the small nicks or chips from
the blade edge when sharpening or honing.

screws.
3. REMOVE BLADE

of pocket.
4. INSTALL BLADE
Hold blade by each end and carefully place into the
blade pocket in the head, with the flat side of the
blade facing the table. Be sure that it is firmly seated
and the pocket is clear of debris.
