MAKING CUTS
Your Magnum™ Siding Shear is operated manually.
The handle is grasped by the operator and pushed
down to make a cut.
1. Unlock safety lock (see l).
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 fiber cement
siding 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 a trim molding or transition
cannot be used to cover your cut end.
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 lover and down into slot.
TRANSPORT
It is important to re-engage lock and secure unextended handle
in down position while storing, carrying, or transporting your
Magnum™ Siding Shear.

CUSTOM SETTINGS
BACKSTROKE STOP
To cut approved products over 3/4" / 19mm
thick, loosen Phillips head screw on the
Backstroke Stop; turn the Backstroke Stop 180º
and tighten screw. For more convenience when
cutting thinner products, restore factory setting.
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
ANVIL EDGES
Simply remove the anvil screws and flip
the anvil over. Ensure blade stop is in
place.
CUTTING DEPTH
You may need to adjust the height of the blade
to cut all the way through your product. You can
do this by:
ADJUSTING THE STOP SCREW
1. Loosen the stop screw nut and turn stop screw
until it is loose. Release handle to open blade.
2. Push the handle down until the blade is resting
on the "blade stop"
3. Adjust the stop screw until it makes contact
with the power assembly.

MAINTENANCE
WHEN TO HONE
There are three situations when it isvery 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.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE
Your Magnum™ Siding Shear is equipped with adjustment "jack" screws (see pic on next page) for fine
tuning the angle of your blade or compensating for small blades (Blades shrink every time they are
re-sharpened). To tilt your blade, turn the machine upside down as when removing the blade - loosen
(but don't remove) the Item D screws. Adjust the jack screws to desired position with 5/32" or 4mm
Allen wrench.
TO HONE
With the blade in the machine, it is quick and
easy to hone; Simply pull the Magnum™ Siding
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.

CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING
Blade is extremely sharp! Use hand protection when
removing, honing, or sharpening blade!
LUBRICATING
It is important to spray a fine layer of Slick Shot™ lubricant over the
power assembly at the points indicated (Shown Left) once every
month. Wipe down with WD40™ or a light machine oil to prevent
corrosion.
THE BLADE STOP
The blade stop may become worn. Remove anvil, turn blade stop
over for more use. Replacements can be purchased at your dealer.
1. TURN SHEAR UPSIDE DOWN
Tip: put the shear on the edge of a sturdy table.
2. LOOSEN BLADE
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the Item D
screws.
3. REMOVE BLADE
Hold blade by each end and carefully lift out
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.
5. TIGHTEN THE BLADE
Using a Phillips screwdriver, replace & tighten the
screws, starting with the center screw.
