OPERATION

Adjustments

Your Model H2867 includes a set of three
thickness shims: 0.005", 0.008" and

0.013". These shims are used to set the
gap size between the side of the shear jaw
and the moving cutter. Depending on the
thickness of the material you intend to cut,
one of the three thickness shims is used to
set the desired gap. The following is a gen­eral guideline for correct adjustment:

Sheet Metal Shim

• 25 Gauge 0.005"

• 19 Gauge 0.008"

• 16 Gauge 0.013"

Use the supplied Allen®wrench to adjust
the gap of the cutting jaws as shown in

Figure 1.

Test Run

Your Model H2867 has a slide style
ON/OFF switch as shown in Figure 2.
Before performing any cutting operations,
turn the shear ON and listen for any
unusual noises. If everything appears to
be in working order, you are ready to begin
cutting.

Operating this shear can propel
objects into the air, causing immedi­ate eye damage. To protect yourself,
always wear American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) approved
safety glasses or goggles when oper­ating this equipment. To protect your
hands, always wear leather hand pro­tection when operating this shear.

Operation

If you are cutting a large dimension of
sheet metal, use a large flat working sur­face such as a workbench to support the
work as shown in Figure 3. Once the cut
lines have been determined, turn the
shears ON and begin the cut.

If you need to trim small pieces of sheet
metal, use the shear in a stationary posi­tion while pulling the metal through the
shears, towards your body as shown in
Figure 4. Avoid letting your fingers get to
close to the moving jaws.

If everything is in proper adjustment and
working order, there should be a spiral trail
of sheet metal exiting the shear as you
make your cut.

Cleaning Shear

Use a good solvent to clean the jaw
assembly of the shear. Avoid getting sol­vent on the plastic body of the shear as it
may damage the plastic. Always be sure
that the shear is dry before using it again.

Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into the
air vent holes. This could lead to motor fail­ure and premature bushing failure.

Never use use gasoline or other flam­mable liquids to clean this tool.
Vapors in the tool may ignite, causing
the tool to explode. Ignoring this
warning may lead to serious personal
injury or even death!

Oiling Shear

Periodically oil your new Grizzly shear to
help maintain its useful life. Place one drop
of light machine oil in the shear jaws (as
shown in Figure 5) before every use. Wipe
off any excess oil to avoid dust build-up.

Figure 5. Lubricating shear.

MAINTENANCE

Changing Brushes

Over time, the motor brushes will become
worn and loaded with carbon deposits.
This will dramatically lower the perfor­mance of the electrical motor.

An extra pair of brushes has been includ­ed. To change the brushes, unscrew the
small caps on the sides of the shear body
as shown in Figure 6.

Slide the old brushes out of the slots and
replace with the fresh set as shown in
Figure 7. Screw the caps back into the
shear body and the shear is ready for use.
