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.
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.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.
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.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly.

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.

Lifting & Placing
get help from other people
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).

Dead-Blow Hammer .......................................... 1
To adjust the upper blade:
1. Completely remove the rear lock bolt with the
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).

& 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.

To adjust the blade bow:
1. Perform Steps 1–2 in the previous Adjusting Upper Blade procedure for both sliding
shafts.
2. Perform the Checking Blade Gap procedure on the previous page.
— If the paper cuts cleanly at the ends but
not the center, turn the bow nut clockwise until the paper cuts cleanly along the entire length of the blades.
— If the paper cuts cleanly at the center but
not the ends, turn the bow nut counter­clockwise until the paper cuts cleanly along the entire length of the blades.
To remove/re-install a blade:
1. Have another person support the blade so
it does not fall as you remove the nine cap screws that secure it (see Figure 27).

2. Before re-installing the blade, clean it with
mineral spirits, then apply a thin coat of qual­ity metal protectant.
3. Re-tighten the side lock bolts, and re-install the rear lock bolts with hex nuts and flat washers.

3. Orient the cutting edge to the other blade, then secure the blade in place with the nine cap screws removed in Step 1.

Adjusting Gibs
Tool Needed Qty
Wrench 16mm ................................................... 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.

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
1
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.
