Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
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

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
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Electric Metal Shears

Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the shear blades during
operation, adjustment, or maintenance. To reduce this risk, anyone using this machine MUST
completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

FINGER AMPUTATION. The shear blades or hold-

down can easily pinch, crush, or amputate fingers or
other body parts. Always keep hands, fingers, and
other body parts away from blades and hold-down
(point-of-operation) during shearing operations.

GUARDS. Keep all guards in place, properly
positioned, and in working order. Never operate
shear with blade guard removed. If blade guard is
removed or not properly positioned, fingers may
accidentally be cut or amputated by shear blades.
Always position guard just high enough to allow
workpiece to enter, but not fingers.

CAPACITY. Exceeding cutting capacity of shear
may result in breakage or machine damage that
ejects dangerous metal debris at operator or
bystanders. Only use sheet metal within the rated
capacity of this shear (refer to the Machine Data

Sheet).

PROPER WORKPIECE MATERIAL. Shear is only

intended for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous mild
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 risk of
injury, and may result in damage to machine.

USE OF HAND TOOLS. Hand tools are intended
for placing and removing materials from shear
point-of-operation. Use of hand tools is intended to
prevent need for operator to place hands or fingers
within point-of-operation. Always use hand tools
to place or remove any workpiece within point-of­operation, in conjunction with all blade guards.

WORK AREA. Provide sufficient clearance around
machine to permit safe use by regular opera­tors and performance of maintenance procedures.
Keep work area clear of materials or substances
that may create a slip, trip, or fall hazard.

SHARP METAL EDGES. The sharp edges of
sheet metal can easily cut fingers, hands, and
other body parts. Always wear heavy leather
gloves when handling sheet metal. Always cham­fer and deburr sharp workpiece edges.

OPERATOR POSITION. Avoid awkward body
and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand or body to enter point-of-opera­tion or make accidental contact with shear blades.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Always disconnect
machine from power and wait for all moving parts
to come to a complete stop before performing any
adjustments, service, or maintenance.

BLADE CONDITION. Sharp, undamaged, and
properly adjusted blades will reduce risk of injury
from breakage or sharp burrs left on workpiece.
Always keep blades properly adjusted and sharp.

SHEAR BLADE ADJUSTMENT. When adjust­ing or replacing shear blades, always disconnect
machine from power, wear heavy leather gloves to
protect hands, and wear safety glasses to protect
eyes.

CHECK MACHINE. Before using machine, care­fully check components for wear that could affect
operation. Check blade alignment and gib play,
and ensure guards are properly installed. DO NOT
operate machine until all defects are corrected.

STRAY SHEET METAL PIECES. Sheet metal
cut-off pieces left on the floor can easily slide
under foot and cause falling injuries. Always
remove cut-off sheet metal pieces from the floor
after operation. Keep work area clean.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

For your own safety and protection of

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Since this machine must be permanently con­nected to the power supply, an extension cord
cannot be used.

Connection Type

A permanently connected (hardwired) power sup­ply is typically installed with wires running through
mounted and secured conduit. A disconnecting
means, such as a locking switch (see following
figure), must be provided to allow the machine
to be disconnected (isolated) from the power
supply when required. This installation must be
performed by an electrician in accordance with all
applicable electrical codes and ordinances.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

process. DO NOT connect to power until

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. A permanently connected machine must
be connected to a grounded metal permanent wir­ing system; or to a system having an equipment­grounding conductor. All grounds must be verified
and rated for the electrical requirements of the
machine. Improper grounding can increase the
risk of electric shock!

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work­piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main­tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Lifting & Placing

2. Remove (2) hex nuts and (1) flat washer on
each mounting foot (see Figure 12).

This is an extremely heavy machine! Serious
personal injury or death may occur if safe
lifting and moving methods are not fol­lowed. To be safe, you will need assistance
and power equipment when moving the
shipping crate and removing the machine
from the crate. Seek assistance from a
professional rigger if you are unsure about
your abilities or maximum load ratings of
your lifting equipment.

DO NOT attempt to lift or move machine without
using proper lifting equipment (such as forklift or
crane) and assistance from other people. Each
piece of lifting equipment must be rated for at
least 4000 lbs. to support dynamic loads that
may be applied while lifting.

Review the Power Supply section beginning on
Page 10, then prepare a permanent location for
the machine.

Model G0845P (Mfd. Since 01/18)

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con­crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect­ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.

Leveling

Anchoring to Floor

Leveling the machine helps the blades and other
cast-iron components remain straight and flat dur­ing the life of the machine. A machine placed on
an unleveled floor may have components slowly
twist over time due to the dynamic loads placed
on it during operation. Twisted components will
negatively affect the ability of the machine to cut
straight or square.

Items Needed Qty

Open-End Wrench 17mm .................................. 1

Precision Level (at least 12" long) ..................... 1

Use the square-head bolt in each mounting foot
to level the machine (see Figure 14). If needed,
place a metal shim under the mounting foot.

newspaper) is placed under one end of the level.
