Read and understand all of the instruc-
tions and safety information in this
manual before operating or servicing
this tool.
Strut channel and threaded rod
ends can be sharp. Gloves are

injury from ying debris or hydraulic oil.
SAFETY
ALERT
SYMBOL
This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards or
unsafe practices which could result in an injury or
property damage. The signal word, dened below,
indicates the severity of the hazard. The message after
the signal word provides information for preventing
or avoiding the hazard.
Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result
in severe injury or death.
Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in severe
injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, MAY
result in injury or property damage.
Skin injection hazard. Do not use
hands to check for oil leaks. Oil under
pressure easily punctures skin. If
injured, seek medical attention imme-
diately to remove oil. Failure to observe
this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
If operating the tool continuously for
more than 2 hours hearing protection
is recommended. Longterm exposure
to high noise levels could result in
hearing damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not overload cart
Pinch points: Keep hands away from
the cutting unit during the shearing
process. Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury or death.

Rotate the Service Cart on its side.
Attach the Rigid and Swivel Casters to the bottom
shelf of the Service Cart with the included caster
mounting hardware. Torque the nuts to 25 ft lbs.
Reposition the Service Cart with casters in its
upright position.
Transporting and Storage
Remove all dies from the Cutting Unit. Lower the Rear
Rod Rest and Measurement Stop. Center both Extension
Arms; lock the arms by tightening the Rear Arm Knob
and Measurement Stop Knob.
Connecting to Power Source
Attach your 10,000 psi rated pump to the Hydraulic
Ram’s universal coupler with a similarly rated hydraulic
hose. The Service Cart has an opening in its upper
shelf for the hose to feed through if the pump is seated
on the lower shelf. Tighten the hydraulic tting and
test cycle the Cutting Unit unloaded to conrm a
proper connection.
Caster Mounting
Cart is heavy, advise having two persons when
turning cart.

Die Loading/Changeover
If a die set is already loaded in the cutting unit, pull the
Swing Arm out of the Mobile Die and rotate it onto the
Die Spacer. Pull back the End Stop and slide out the
Mobile Die within the Cassette Frame, then push the
Stationary Die forward and slide it out also. Load the
new die set in a reverse matter. Be sure to reengage the
Swing Arm before beginning cutting.
Note: if having difculty removing or inserting dies, clear
debris from the Cassette Frame die pockets.
Note: it is recommended to apply a moly-base
spray lubricant to the die and frame working surfaces
whenever changing dies.

Setting the Measurement Stop
The Measurement Stop can be set to repeatedly cut
lengths from 12 to 48 inches. Turn the Measurement
Stop Knob holding down the Extension Arm counter-
clockwise to unlock. Set stop to required cut length by
moving the arm left or right as needed, then retighten the
knob. Raise or Lower the stop such that the workpiece
being cut just makes contact.

Operation
Cutting Strut Channel
When cutting strut channel, the work piece must always
be supported by the Front Material Rest. Do not cut
total channel lengths of less than 7.5” as they cannot be
properly supported and can cause a die to fracture.
Place the workpiece on the Front Material Rest and Rear
Channel Rest (if long enough) and push through the
Stationary and Mobile dies up to the Measurement Stop
(if being used) or to desired nished length. The Rear
Rod Rest should be lowered out of the way. Activate the
hydraulic pump to begin the cut cycle. Wait for the strut
to shear then release the hydraulic pressure. The Mobile
Die will return to its original position to begin another cut.
Lower the Measurement Stop and unload the nished
workpiece, then return the stop for the next cut.
Note: cutting nished lengths of less than 2 inches may
warp the channel prole.
Note: the Rear Channel Rest was designed to support
up to 10ft workpiece lengths. Additional support may be
required when cutting lengths longer than this.
Engage caster brakes before operating unit.
When cutting short pieces of strut channel the
nished workpiece can pop out due to the shock
of the cutting cycle, always wear safety glasses.
Shearing across holes and slots can leave sharp
points on nished workpieces.
Do not cut single box strut workpieces with the
double strut dies, the dies will fail quickly.

Operation (cont’d)
Cutting Threaded Rod
Push the workpiece through the Stationary and Mobile
Dies up to the Measurement Stop (if being used) or
to desired nished length. The Rear Rod Rest can be
raised to support longer workpieces. Firmly seat the
rod against the threads of the Stationary Die and keep
the workpiece perpendicular to the dies. Activate the
hydraulic pump to begin the cut cycle. Wait for the rod
to shear then release the hydraulic pressure. The Mobile
Die will return to its original position to begin another
cut. Lower the Measurement Stop and unload the
nished workpiece, then return the stop for the next cut.
Note: The threaded rod dies have been designed so that
the nut threads onto the cut rod by hand. Thread quality,
surface nish (i.e., galvanized or plated), dirt and scale
could affect the ability of the nut to thread freely onto the
cut rod.
Filing of the rod end or use of a pliers may be necessary
if nut does not easily thread on due to these factors.
Note: The Rear Rod Rest was designed to support
single workpieces up to 10ft lengths. Additional support
may be required when cutting lengths longer than this or
multiple pieces at once.
Tip: If a nut begins to thread and locks up, tapping
it on a surface will often loosen it and allow
continued threading.
Finished workpiece length should not be less than .25”.

Maintenance
Lock out power to the Cutting Unit before performing any maintenance.
Change the hydraulic oil annually or after 10,000 cycles. Use ASTM 215 hydraulic uid (or equal).
At least monthly, clean the inner track portions of the Cassette Frame and Die Retaining Rails. Apply a moly based,
spray lubricant to the working surfaces. A dry lm lubricant such as Molykote 557 is recommended.
The material cutting dies are wear parts and will fail over time. Order additional dies through Greenlee distributors.
The unit experiences a shock during each cutting cycle which can loosen bolt connections over time. Periodically
check all fasteners on the Cutting Unit and retighten where needed.
Available Dies
Note: The hot-dipped galvanized nished available from many manufacturers will often leave beads of nish on the
product and can be more difcult to get through dies.

To mount the Cutting Unit to another surface, rst
unfasten the three 3/8-16 by 5/8” long hex bolts
underneath the top shelf of the service cart to free
the unit.
The following bolt pattern will be required on the new
surface. Longer bolts may be needed if attaching the unit
to a surface thicker than 12 gauge (.105 steel).

heridas graves o la muerte.
Peligros que, de no evitarse, PUEDEN provocar heridas
graves o la muerte.
Peligros o prácticas inseguras que, de no evitarse, QUIZÁ
provoquen heridas o daños a la propiedad.
Riesgo de inyección en la piel. No
utilice las manos para revisar si
existen fugas de aceite. El aceite bajo
presión perfora fácilmente la piel. Si
se lesiona, busque atención médica
inmediatamente para retirar el aceite.
Si no se respeta esta advertencia,
podrían producirse heridas graves o la
muerte.
Si opera la herramienta continuamente
durante más de 2horas, se recomienda el
uso de protección auditiva. La exposición
a largo plazo a altos niveles de ruido puede
resultar en daños auditivos.
INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE DE SEGURIDAD
No sobrecargue el carro.
Puntos de enganche: Mantenga las manos
alejadas de la unidad de corte durante el
proceso de corte. Si no se respeta esta
advertencia, podrían producirse heridas
graves o la muerte.
