KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
1. Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
2. Keep hands out of path of shear blades.
3. The maximum capacity of this machine is 1/4” mild steel or equivalent.
Exceeding capacity may be dangerous to operator and damage may occur
to the machine.
4.Bolt machine to floor or sturdy stand that is bolted to floor to prevent
sliding or tipping of machine.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT attempt to shear hardened or
stainless steel blocks or rods. You will
damage or break your shear blades !
ASSEMBLY
MOUNT HANDLE
Remove two hex head bolts #15 from pivot arm #12. Mount handle #13
into groove on pivot arm. Secure handle with hex head bolts. Tighten bolts
securely.
MOUNT HOLD-DOWN PLATE
Insert threaded rod of hold-down plate #1
through hole in support block #4.
INSTALLATION
Machine should be installed on a level surface, with proper lighting.
Machine can be floor mounted, stand-mounted or bench-mounted. Be sure

- 7 -
to provide clearance for handlebar rotation. Use four mounting holes on the
base to bolt machine securely to floor, bench or stand (fasteners not
included).Area around machine should be clear of scraps, oil or dirt. Apply
a suitable non-skid material to floor.
OPERATION
Rotating handle #13 operates the shear. Be sure to keep hands clear of
shear when rotating handle. The maximum capacity of the machines is ¼”
mild steel.
SHEARING PLATE AND FLAT BARS
1.Adjust hold-down plate #1 so that workpiece can lie horizontally between
shear blades. Place workpiece between blades #7 and #20 and
underneath hold-down plate. Adjust holddown plate to be positioned at the
top surface of the workpiece, with the workpiece held horizontally. Secure
the hold-down plate in position by tightening it.
2.Support workpiece between blades and underneath the hold down plate
at position where cut is desired. Pull handles #13 forward with both hands
until blade cuts through workpiece.
CAUTION
Do not reach in back of shear to grasp fall
out piece.
Shear thicker material is done by “snapping” crank handles so that
upper blade impacts workpiece.Upper blade is mounted at an angle
so that workpiece can be sheared in small increments. To minimize
distortion, approximately 5/8” of workpiece should be sheared with
each impact

- 8 -
SHEARING ROUND BARS
Round bars up to 7/16” diameter can be cut with shear HS-5 / 6.Round
bars up to 1/2” diameter can be cut with shear HS-8 / 10 / 12.Place bar
through holes in face of upper blade #7 and die #10. Position bar where cut
is desired and pull handle #13 forward until bar is cut.
SHEAR BLADES
Always keep shear blades lubricated and clean of any dirt or rust. Abrasive
particles on blades will drastically reduce life of blades. These blades
should be sharpened according to industry standards by a competent
grinding service only.
NOTE
If the material seems too thick or too hard,
do not force the shear ! Instead, use a
metal-cutting bandsaw to cut the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE
1. Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting procedures.
2. Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation. All exposed iron
surfaces should be coated with light oil to prevent rushing.
3. Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that adjusting
tools are removed before using machine.
4. Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the guard or
other parts will operate properly and perform their intended function.
5. Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding,
breakage, and mounting or any other condition that may affect a tool’s
operation.
6. Check the handle and base mounting bolts to ensure they are tight.
7. A guard or other damaged part should be properly repaired or replaced.
Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order repair
parts.)
