SECTION 1: SAFETY
For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating This Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.
This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that
safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved

observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.
Always discon-
Model G0828/G0829 (Mfd. Since 02/17)
-7-
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle

Additional Safety for Metal Shears
AMPUTATION HAZARD. The shear blades can
easily pinch, crush, or amputate fingers or other
body parts. Always keep hands, fingers, and other
body parts away from the blades during operation.
SHARP METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on newly
cut sheet metal workpieces can easily cause deep
cuts while handling. Wear leather gloves to help
protect your hands when handling workpieces, and
always chamfer and debur sharp workpiece edges.
PROPER WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This shear is
only intended for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous
sheet metal or flat stock. Do not attempt to cut
round metal stock, glass, wood, drywall, backer
board, plywood, or other material not intended for
this machine. Cutting incorrect materials can produce unexpected results, which increases the risk
of injury, and may result in damage to the machine.
SECURE SHEAR BEFORE USE. Before using,
fasten shear to a sturdy surface that can withstand
the dynamic forces involved in shearing sheet
metal. Otherwise, shear may unexpectedly move
or fall, causing serious injury or property damage.
STABLE FOOTING. This shear requires you to
apply a moderate/high level force while cutting.
Without stable footing, you could slip or fall, which
could cause personal injury. Always stand with
both feet comfortably on a non-slip surface during
operation.
BODY POSITION. The forces and body motion
required to operate this shear can result in operator injury over time if proper technique is not used.
Always keep your body centered with the machine
and your back straight when applying pressure
against handles.
BLADE CONDITION. Blades that are sharp,
undamaged, and properly adjusted will reduce risk
of injury and improve cutting results. Always keep
blades properly maintained.
BLADE GUARD. The blade guard is designed
to reduce risk of amputation. Always keep guard
properly attached and in good condition during
operation.
RATED CAPACITY. Only use sheet metal that is
within the rated capacity of this shear (refer to the
Machine Data Sheets on Page 5 and 6).
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
Model G0828/G0829 (Mfd. Since 02/17)
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

all
To ensure the assembly process
goes smoothly, first clean any
covered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if
applicable).
Leveling the shear helps the blades and other
cast-iron components remain straight and flat
during the life of the machine. Components on
an unleveled machine may slowly twist over time
due to the dynamic loads placed on the machine
during operation. Twisted components will impair
the ability of the machine to cut straight or square.
2. Remove blade guard and upper cover.
3. Secure each support rod with (1) M8-1.25 x

If needed, use metal shims between the base and
the workbench to level the machine. Measure with
a precision level that is at least 12" long and sensitive enough to show a distance movement when a
0.003" shim is placed under one end of the level.

Cutting Tips
• Keep the upper blade properly adjusted to
the lower blade (refer to Adjusting Blade
Gap on Page 24 for detailed instructions).
This will help ensure good cutting results and
avoid blade damage.
• Before each operation, clear cut-offs or debris
away from the shear.
• Make sure the 90° guide is square with the
blades (see Page 18). This will help ensure
the cut is square.
• Use the cutting lever to engage the holddown bar with the workpiece, then check the
workpiece position. If it is correct, continue
lowering the cutting lever to complete the cut.
• The shearing action of the blades works similarly to a pair of scissors (see the illustration
in Figure 12). Use even pressure on the cutting lever to produce good results.
Adjusting
Hold-Down Bar
The hold-down bar secures the workpiece to the
bed before the blades shear the workpiece.
The hold-down bar is adjustable for height. The
G0828 uses two adjustment hex bolts and hex
nuts (see Figure 13). The G0829 uses three
adjustment hex bolts and hex nuts.

To position rear work stop:
1. Slide work stop adjustment assembly evenly
along support rods so rear work stop leading
edge is at approximate desired distance from
cutting edges of blades (see Figure 15).
Note: Move work stop assembly evenly on
both sides to keep it parallel with blades. Use
scales on top of support rods for approximate
positioning. Use fine ruler or tape measure
for precise positioning.
2. To keep rear work stop assemblies secured
in desired position, tighten knurled thumbscrews (see Figure 15).

Adjusting Blade Gap
The gap between the upper and lower blades (as
they pass each other) must remain even along
the length of the blades to produce clean cuts.
Initially, this adjustment has been made at the
factory. However, over time and with normal wear,
you may need to re-adjust the blade gap.
If the paper does not cut cleanly after proper
adjustment of the upper blade, the blades may
need to be sharpened or replaced (refer to
Replacing Blades on Page 25).
Tools Needed Qty
Open-End Wrench 14mm .................................. 1
Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1
Feeler Gauge 0.002" ......................................... 1
If the blade gap is too wide, the workpiece will
not cut correctly and show signs of bending, ripping, or tearing. If the blade gap is too narrow, the
upper blade will have difficulty lowering past the
lower blade and the cutting edges may become
damaged.
Checking Blade Gap
Use the shear to cut a piece of paper along the
full length of the blades. All cuts should be sharp
without bending or tearing the paper.
—If the blades do not cut the paper cleanly on
one end of the shear, the upper blade needs to
be adjusted on that end.
—If the blades do not cut the paper cleanly
along the entire length of the blades,
both ends of the upper blade need to be
adjusted.
To adjust upper blade:
1. Remove blade guard.
2. Loosen hex nuts on set screws identified for
adjustment in Checking Blade Gap (see
Figure 32).
Set Screw
Upper Blade
Figure 32. Adjusting set screws to align upper

3. Use feeler gauge to adjust blade gap to
0.002":
— To move blade toward front, rotate rear
set screws clockwise and front set screws
counterclockwise.
— To move blade toward back, rotate rear
set screws counterclockwise and front set
screws clockwise.
4. Repeat previous Checking Blade Gap procedure to test adjustments.
— If blade gap is correct, hold each set screw
in position and tighten its hex nut.
— If blade gap is not correct, repeat Steps
2–4 until cut is even.
5. Re-install blade guard when complete.
Model G0828/G0829 (Mfd. Since 02/17)
Replacing Blades
Both upper and lower blades are identical and
have two cutting edges, so that if one cutting edge
becomes dull, you can reverse the blade and use
the fresh, sharp cutting edge. Both blades can be
resharpened as an alternative to replacing.
If both cutting edges are dull, re-sharpen the
blades on a surface grinder and make sure they
stay flat along their entire length. If the blade
becomes too thin and the cap screws that secure
it extend beyond the opposite side of the cutting
edge, you will need to replace it. If the blade is
nicked or damaged, replace it. Contact Grizzly
at (800) 523-4777 or online at grizzly.com to purchase Part No. P08280010 (Model G0828), or
P08290010 (Model G0829). Keep an extra set of
blades on hand to avoid downtime.

Adjusting Gibs
2. On each side of shear, loosen hex nuts on gib
set screws (see Figure 39).
There are two copper gibs on each end of the
upper blade base (see Figure 38). They are made
of copper so the plates wear instead of the upper
blade base. Each copper gib screws into a steel
plate and is adjusted with four set screws and hex
nuts. The set screws maintain pressure between
the copper gibs and upper blade base to keep the
movement tight and precise.

If the gibs are too loose, the quality of the cuts will
suffer because the movement will be sloppy when
the cutting lever is pulled down. If the gibs are too
tight, it will be difficult to lower the upper blade,
and the cutting edges of the blades may become
damaged.
The goal of adjusting the gibs is to keep the frontto-back movement of the sliding shafts snug without interfering with the sliding action.

knives. If necessary, rotate set screws clockwise to tighten gib or counterclockwise to
loosen, then repeat test cut and adjust until
you are satisfied with gib adjustment and
shearing action.
5. Hold set screws with hex wrench and retighten hex nuts (see Figure 40).
