Machine Description

The Model T26470 is a benchtop Hand Shear
designed to cut light-gauge sheet metal. A station­ary blade is mounted to the machine base and a
moving blade is connected to the handles. When
the handles are pulled down, the upper blade
moves past the lower stationary blade, creating a
shearing action, similar to a pair of scissors.

The Model T26470 is equipped with a rear adjust­able work stop for making repetitive cuts of the
same length.

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

proper operation of the machine.

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 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
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
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

Model T26470 (Mfd. Since 1/14)

-5-

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!

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.

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.

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

Model T26470 (Mfd. Since 1/14)

Additional Safety for Shear Machines

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.

RATED CAPACITY. Only use sheet metal that is
within the rated capacity of this shear (refer to the

Machine Data Sheet on Page 4).

SHARP METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet

metal workpieces can easily cause deep cuts
while handling. Wear leather gloves when han­dling sheet metal, and always chamfer and debur
sharp workpiece edges.

PROPER WORKPIECE MATERIAL. 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.

SECURE SHEAR BEFORE USE. Before using,
fasten shear to a sturdy surface that can with­stand the dynamic forces involved in cutting sheet
metal. Otherwise, shear may unexpectedly move
or fall, causing serious injury or property damage.

STABLE FOOTING. This shear requires you to
apply moderate 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 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.

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 T26470 (Mfd. Since 1/14)

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.

NOTICE

If you cannot find an item on this list, care­fully check around/inside the machine and
packaging materials. Often, these items get
lost in packaging materials while unpack­ing or they are pre-installed at the factory.

Model T26470 (Mfd. Since 1/14)

Cleanup Site Considerations

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some workbenches may require additional rein­forcement to support the weight of the machine
and workpiece materials.

Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and addi­tional space needed for auxiliary stands, work
tables, or other machinery when establishing a
location for this machine in the shop. Below is
the minimum amount of space needed for the
machine.

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)

Workbench Load

Placement Location

⁄2"

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative
will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint
scraper, scrape off as much as you can first,
then wipe off the rest with the rag.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.

Cleaning the Model T26470 is relatively easy. Use
a brush to clear away any metal debris from the
blades and the table.

Use a shop rag to carefully apply a thin coat of
quality metal protectant to all exposed surfaces of
the blades to prevent corrosion (see Page 14 for
offerings from Grizzly).

Adjusting Blade Bow

Tools Needed Qty

Wrench 14mm ................................................... 1

Hex Wrench 6mm .............................................. 1

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 bow.

The blade bow is adjusted by loosening the
hex nut and rotating the cap screw shown in
Figure 25 clockwise or counterclockwise.

Cap Screw

To adjust the blade bow:

1. Cut a piece of paper with shear.

2. If entire length of paper is cut cleanly, there is

no need for adjustment.

— If paper cuts cleanly at ends but not cen-

ter, rotate cap screw clockwise
a time until paper cuts cleanly along the
entire length of blades.

— If paper cuts cleanly at center but not ends,

rotate cap screw counterclockwise
at a time until paper cuts cleanly along
entire length of blades.

3. Retighten hex nut to secure cap screw in
place.

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.

After both cutting edges become dull, resharpen
the blades on a surface grinder and make sure
they remain flat along their entire length. The
blade must be replaced once it becomes too thin
and the hex bolts that secure it extend beyond the
opposite side of the cutting edge. If the blade is
nicked, regrind it if possible.

We recommend you keep an extra set of blades
on hand to avoid downtime. Order Part No.
PT26470002 by contacting Grizzly at (800) 523­4777 or online at grizzly.com to purchase.

To remove/re-install either blade:

1. Support blade so it does not fall and

remove the four hex bolts that secure it
(see Figures 26 & 27).

Hex Bolts Securing Lower Blade

2. Before re-installing blade, clean it with min-

eral spirits, then apply a thin coat of quality
metal protectant.

3. Secure blade in place with four hex bolts
removed in Step 1.
