GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in serious injury.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and/or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a Shear. Distractions can cause you to lose concentration.
c) This Shear is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the Shear by a person
responsible for their safety.
d) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the Shear. This Shear is not a toy.
2) PERSONAL SAFETY
WARNING! Always wear Australian compliant personal protective equipment.
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a Shear. Do not use a Shear while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating shears may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as gloves, dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes with steel caps, hard hat, full face shield, and/or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries, as the work can create metal splinters and chips.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the Shear at all times.
c) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3) ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SHEARS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool
safety rules. If you use this Shear unsafely or incorrectly, serious personal injury may occur.
a) Do not force the Shear. Use the correct Shear for the application. The correct Shear will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which the Shear is designed.
b) Do not modify or alter this Shear or use it for an unintended purpose.
c) Do not increase the length of the handle temporarily or permanently.
d) Only use this Shear when fixed on a surface that is stable, level, dry and not slippery, and capable of sustaining the load.
e) Do not use the Shear if any parts are damage broken or misplaced. Repair or replace the parts.
f) The workpiece may be sharp after shearing, use caution. Be aware of sharp edges or sharp shreds of metal that may be
created. Use heavy gloves when handling the workpiece.
4) SERVICE
a) Have your Shear serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the correct operation of the Shear is maintained.

UNPACKING
After unpacking, check to make sure that all parts shown in “Know Your Product” have
been supplied. If any parts are missing or broken, please contact the place of purchase.
ASSEMBLY
Minor assembly of the Throatless Shear is required.
1. This machine must be mounted to a stand or workbench, using the mountings holes
(7) in the Base (8) with appropriate fasteners before operation (not supplied) (Fig 1).
The work bench should be anchored to the wall or floor.
2. The unpainted surface of the Throatless Shear are coated with a rust preventing
waxy oil and should be removed before you begin operating.
Use a solvent cleaner that will not damage painted surfaces.
3. Slide the Handle (9) over the shaft of the Geared Handle (1) (Fig 2) and tighten locking
Bolt (11) using a 14mm spanner (not supplied) (Fig 3).
WARNING: Take caution when working around sharp blade edges
ADJUSTMENTS OF SHEAR BLADES
Note: The Shear has been setup in the factory and should not require any initial
adjustments. The clearance should be adjusted to between 1/4 and 1/10 of the
thickness of the workpiece.
To adjust the clearance between the Upper Blade (2) and Lower Blade (3).
1. Loosen the Blade Clamp Bolt (5) securing the Blade Clamp (4) (Fig 4A).
2. To decrease the clearance, turn the Blade Adjusting Grub Screws (6) clockwise (Fig 4B).
3. To increase clearance, turn the Blade Adjusting Grub Screws (6) counterclockwise (Fig 4B).
4. Push the lower blade back against the two grub screws and check clearance.
5. Re-tighen the Blade Clamp Bolt (5), test the cutting action. Repeat above steps
if required.

METAL THROATLESS SHEAR CUTTER
OPERATION
1. For greater control of the workpiece, start all cuts at the back of the blades. Circular
and irregular cuts are made by turning the workpiece while following through with the
downward stroke of the blade (Fig 5).
2. When a cut has been completed, raise the Handle (9) to lift the blade and push the
workpiece forward. Start the next cut at the back of the blade.
3. Always keep the material being cut flat on the Bed (10) of the shear (Fig 6).
Replace the Blades
Caution: To reduce risk of injury, it is recommended that the Handle (1) is removed before
changing the blades.
Moving/Upper Blade (2) Removal
1. Open jaws completely. Be sure to use caution when replacing the blade; if the Handle
(9) is bumped the blades may move, causing personal injury.
2. Using a Phillips head screw driver (not supplied) remove all three counter sunk screws
in the Upper Blade (2) (Fig 7).
3. Remove the Upper Blade (2), and re-secure a new Upper Blade (2) with the counter
sunk screws.
Lower/Table Blade (3) Removal
4. Using a 14mm spanner (not supplied) loosen the Blade Clamping (5) Bolt.
Remove and replace the Lower Blade (3). Align the new Lower Blade (3) against both
adjusting grub screws and replace the Blade Clamp (4) and Blade Clamping Bolt (5)
(Fig 8).
5. Alter the Blade Adjustment Grub Screws (6) to adjust the Lower Blade (3) to required
clearance for the workpiece (Fig 8B).
6. After the Lower Blade (3) is properly adjusted, fully tighten Blade Clamping Bolt (5)
Lock Bolt, to secure it in place (Fig 8A). Re-check clearance and perform test cuts.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Periodically use Graphite Oil to lubricate blade edges and gears on the Geared Handle (1).
2. Keep all areas of the tool clean, particularly those surfaces that contact sheetmetal
workpieces. Dirt and metal chips can mark the workpiece.
3. Use a mild solvent cleaner that will not damage painted surfaces.
Wipe the unpainted parts of the Shear with a light coat of camelia oil to prevent rust.
4. Store in a clean & dry environment when not in use.
