PRODUCT OPERATION
Caution! Wear hand and eye protection while operating the EZ Siding Shear
1 – While gently pushing handle down, pull Safety Lock
pin out, then lift handle.
3 – Push handle down until the material is cut
completely. Some effort may be required depending
of hardness of material.
Double Cutting – Simply make your first cut
/" to /" (3mm to 6mm) longer than your
mark and then make a second cut on your
mark. This is very useful to create a cleaner
cut on exposed ends or when you cannot over
the cut edge with molding or trim.
2 – Place product on table. Bring handle down
until blade touches material.

ANGLED DEGREE CUTS
Firmly lift the friction-fit fence to remove it from the table and press back down in the appropriate 45-degree
position.
MAINTENANCE
Honing the Blade
Push the handle down until the blade ⁄" (3mm) above the tabletop. Place the provided Hone Stone against the
flat side of the blade. Slide the honing stone from one end of the blade to the other 3-4 times. This will remove
any burrs from your blade.
When you first get your shear, you should hone after your 5th cut, then hone your blade every 10th cut for the
first 100 cuts until your blade is broken in. From there, you only need to hone once per job. Use caution when
honing the blade. The blade is sharp and can easily cause injury. Cut-resistant gloves are recommended when
honing the blade.

your blade, scan the QR code or visit

MAINTENANCE
Sharpening the Blade
The blade can be sharpened to restore a one-sided, 21° – 22° 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.
WARNING
USE EXTREME CAUTION! Blade is very sharp.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before troubleshooting double-check the manual:
• Is your shear properly assembled?
• Is it being operated correctly?
• Is it properly lubricated?
• Has the blade been honed as recommended?
Visually inspect shear, watching for objects that might obstruct the blade or powerhead travel:
• Foreign material presence between the blade and anvil, in the pin springs or under the cam.
• Check your blade for chips, cracks or burrs.
• Make sure bearings are intact and lubricated. They should not be spinning/moving on the cam during use.
NOTE: This troubleshooting is for all Bullet shears. If you are uncertain if it pertains to your shear, please contact
Marshalltown customer service.
