Machine Description
The Model T10717 50" Foot Shear is designed to
use the operator's body weight to cut sheet metal.
A stationary blade is mounted to the machine
base and a moving blade is connected to the
foot pedal. When the foot pedal is pressed down,
the upper blade lowers past the lower stationary
blade, creating a shearing action, similar to a pair
of scissors.
The Model T10717 is equipped with front workpiece
support rods that provide additional support for
large stock and rear micro-adjustable work stops
for making repetitive cuts of the same length.

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 avoid
accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material,
and 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!
INTENDED USAGE. Only use machine for its
intended purpose and never make modifications
not approved by Grizzly. Modifying machine or
using it differently than intended may result in
malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to
serious 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.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

Additional Safety for Foot Shears
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 the blades and
hold-down during operation.
BLADE CONDITION. Blades that are sharp,
undamaged, and properly adjusted will reduce the
risk of injury from workpiece or machine breakage
and ensure good results. Always keep blades properly adjusted and sharp.
CAPACITY. Exceeding the capacity of the shear
may eject dangerous metal debris at the operator
or bystanders, or cause machine damage. Only
use sheet metal that is within the rated capacity
of this shear (refer to the Machine Data Sheet on
Page 4).
BLADE GUARD. The blade guard is designed to
reduce the risk of amputation when using the shear.
Always keep the guard properly attached and in
good condition during operation.
SHARP METAL EDGES. Sharp sheet metal edges
can easily cause severe laceration injuries. Always
chamfer and debur the workpiece edges, and wear
leather gloves when handling sheet metal.
FOOTING. The foot shear requires you to apply
moderate force to the foot pedal while cutting.
If your foot slips, you could fall down or into the
shear, which could cause personal injury. Always
stand with one foot comfortably on the floor during operation, and never use both feet on the
foot pedal or jump on it. Never have a foot under
the foot pedal during operation to avoid crushing
injuries.
COMFORTABLE BODY POSITION. The required
body motion to operate the shear can result in
operator injury over time if proper ergonomics are
not used during operation. Always keep your body
centered with the machine and your back straight
when using the foot pedal.
PROPER USAGE. This foot shear was designed
to ONLY cut sheet metal within its rated capacity.
Do not attempt to cut round stock, glass, wood,
drywall, backer board, or plywood. Cutting incorrect materials can produce unexpected results,
which increases the risk of injury, and may result
in damage to the machine.
SHEET METAL PIECES. Sheet metal pieces left
on the floor can easily slide under foot and cause
falling injuries. Always remove sheet metal pieces
from the floor after operation. Keep work area
clean.
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 T10717 (Mfg. Since 1/13)
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.

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:

HEAVY LIF T!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
and use a fork lift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
There are two recommended ways to lift the foot
shear: 1) Use a forklift with lifting straps, or 2) Use
a forklift with chains and safety hooks. Whichever
way you choose to lift the shear, make sure each
component is rated for at least 1000 lbs.
To lift and place the foot shear:
Figure 5. Lifting shear with chains and safety
hooks.
4. With the help of another person to steady
the load, use the forklift to raise the shear
just enough to clear the shipping pallet, then
remove the shipping pallet.
5. Lower the shear into place, and mount it to
the floor as recommended in the next subsection.
1. Move the shear (while it is still on the shipping pallet) to the installation location.
2. Unbolt the shear from the shipping pallet.
3. Wrap the lifting straps around the shear, as
illustrated in Figure 4, or attach safety hooks
and chains to the side lifting brackets, as
illustrated in Figure 5.
Figure 4. Lifting shear with lifting straps.
Mounting
Due to the significant dynamic forces on the shear
during operation, you must secure it to the floor to
prevent tipping. Because floor materials may vary,
floor mounting hardware is not included.
Anchor studs and lag shield anchors with lag
screws (Figure 6) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

Page 14
Leveling
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 negatively
affect the ability of the machine to cut straight or
square.
If needed, use metal shims between the base and
the floor to level the machine.
For best results, use a precision level that is at
least 12" long and sensitive enough to show a
distance movement when a 0.003" shim (approximately the thickness of one sheet of standard
newspaper) is placed under one end of the level.
See Figure 7 for an example of a high-precision
level available from Grizzly.
Figure 8. Workpiece support rod attached.
2. Orient the rear work stop support rods so
the scales face up, slide them into the brackets underneath the rear of the shear (see
Figure 9), then tighten the pre-installed cap
screws to secure the rods in place.

Only lubricate these ball oilers with a pump-type
oil can that has a plastic or rubberized cone tip.
Do not use oil cans with a metal needle or lance
tip, as they can push the ball too far into the oiler,
break the spring seat, and lodge the ball in the oil
galley.
When lubricating the ball oilers, first clean the outside surface to remove any dust or grime. Push
the tip of the oil can nozzle against the ball oiler
to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the oil can
once or twice to add oil.

Adjusting Blade Gap
Slide
Shaft
The gap between the upper and lower blades (as
they pass each other) must remain even along the
length of 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 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 a piece of paper to make cuts along the full
length of the shear blades. All cuts should be
sharp without bending or tearing the paper.
• If the paper does not cut cleanly only on one
end of the shear, the upper blade needs to be
adjusted on that end.
• If the paper does not cut cleanly along the
entire length of the blades, both ends of the
upper blade need to be adjusted.
• If the paper cuts cleanly on the ends but not
the center, or it cuts cleanly in the center
but not the ends, the blade bow needs to be
adjusted (refer to Adjusting Blade Bow on
the next page for detailed instructions).
hex nuts and flat washers from the slide shaft
that needs adjustment.
Note: Remember the order that the hex nuts
and flat washers are arranged on the lock
bolt.
2. Loosen the side lock bolts but do not remove
them.
3. Tap the front or back of the slide shaft a small
amount to increase or decrease the blade
gap.
Adjusting Upper Blade
The blade gap is controlled by the position of the
upper blade as it passes the lower blade. This
gap is adjusted by moving one or both slide shafts
(see Figure 25) forward or backward.
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 Blade Sharpening/Replacing on the next page for
detailed instructions).
Model T10717 (Mfg. Since 1/13)
4. Repeat the previous Checking Blade Gap
procedure to test the adjustment you made.
— If the blade gap is correct, re-tighten the
side lock bolts and re-install the rear lock
bolt with hex nuts and flat washers.
— If the blade gap is not correct, repeat Steps
2–4 until it is.

Page 24
Adjusting Blade Bow
The blade bow is used to keep the upper blade
straight along its full length by adjusting the
amount of force that the bow exerts on the blade
ends.
The blade bow is adjusted by loosening or tightening the bow nut on the centering rod (see
Figure 26).
Blade
Bow
Bow Nut
& Centering Rod
Sharpening/
Replacing Blades
Both blades have two cutting edges so that if one
cutting edge becomes dull, you can reverse the
blade and use the fresh, sharp cutting edge.
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. P10717031. We recommend
you keep an extra set of blades on hand to avoid
downtime.

Another Person .................................................. 1
There are three copper sliding plates for each of
the slide shafts (see Figure 28)—front, rear, and
side. They are made of copper so the plates wear
instead of the shafts. The rear sliding plates act
as gibs that apply pressure to keep the movement
tight and precise.

Hex
Nuts

Sliding Plate
To adjust the gibs:
1. On each side of the shear, loosen the hex
nuts on the gib adjustment bolts.
2. Tighten all four gib adjustment bolts in even
increments until the gibs are snug against the
sliding shafts, then back off the adjustment

bolts
3. Make a test cut to check the sliding action
and the quality of the cut. If necessary, rotate
the gib adjustment bolts clockwise to tighten
the gib or counterclockwise to loosen it, then
then repeat the test and adjust as necessary
until you are satisfied with the gib adjustment.
4. Re-tighten the hex nuts without moving the
adjustment bolts.
⁄8th of a turn.
If the gibs are too loose, the quality of the cuts
will suffer because the movement will be sloppy
when the foot pedal is pressed. 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.
