Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Double Insulation
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation
between you and the tool’s electrical system. Tools built with this
insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your
tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use
extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground
connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for
added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.
Polarized Plugs
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on
equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When provided, this
plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.

Safety Instructions For All Tools
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power
tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in
dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Air vents often cover
moving parts and should also be avoided.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation
is dusty.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tool with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

holding the paddle depressed. Always be sure that the tool is not
locked on before plugging in. T o turn the tool of f when it is locked on,
squeeze and release the paddle once.
Setting the Blades
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE ADJUSTING BLADES.
VERTICAL CLEARANCE: Position the moving blade at the top of its
stroke. Adjust the vertical clearance so that the “V” shaped opening
appears as in Figure 2.
HORIZONTAL CLEARANCE: The upper movable blade must be
centered to correspond with the position of the lower fixed blade as
shown in Figure 2 by releasing the clamp screw with the key
provided.
The lower blade must be positioned relative to the upper blade according to the thickness of the material to be cut. The shear is supplied with a gauge to facilitate this adjustment. As shown in Figure 3,
loosen the clamp screw “A” and withdraw the lower blade away from
the upper loosening set screw “B”. Insert the appropriate size feeler
gauge between the 2 blades and slowly tighten screw “B” until both
blades are in contact with the gauge. Lock the lower blade by tightening screw “A” and tighten the hex nut “C” to lock set screw “B”.
Operation
Start the shear by depressing the paddle switch. Hold the shear
positioned so the main body is parallel to the work and the cutters are
at right angle to the work (Figure 4). Engage the cutters with the edge
of the material to be cut, and apply only sufficient forward pressure to
start cutting. The relative position of the cutters to the work is critical,
and it may be necessary to tilt the tool forward or backward until the
best cutting rate is achieved. Too much tilt will stop the cut. Blades
must be sharpened in accordance with the angles in Figure 5, using
the template provided.
