IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning

When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, and personal injury, including the
following:

Read all instructions.
Save these instructions.

For KL-200 and all double insulated tools:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Keep Work Area Clean

Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Keep work area well lit.

Avoid Dangerous Environment Don’t expose power tools to rain or snow. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations.
The symbol on the Caution Label is mean to convey this message. Ne pas exposer a la pluie et ne pas utiliser dans les emplacements humides.

Defi nitions of Symbols

Gaurd Against Electric Shock
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces, for example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

Keep Children Away
Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

Store Idle Tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, high or locked-up place out of reach of children.

Don’t Force Tool

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Use Right Tool

Don’t force a small tool to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don’t use tool for on purpose not intended, for example-don’t use a circular saw for cutting tree
limbs or logs.

Dress Properly

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and footwear are recommended when working out doors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Use Safety Glasses

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protecion.

Don’t Abuse Cord

Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Secure Work
Use clamps or vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

Don’t Overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Maintain Tools with Care
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing center blades and side knives. Inspect tool
cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and if damaged or replace. Keep
handles dry, clean, and be free from oil and grease.

Disconnect Tools

When not in use; before servicing; when changing Center Blades, Side Knives, Brushes, etc.

Remove Adjusting keys and Wrenches

Form Habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

OPERATION

Avoid Accidental Starting

Don’t carry plugged-in tool with fi nger on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in. Use of any accessory with this power unit might increase the
hazard. The tool should be used only for the purpose for which it is designed.

Plug

THE POLARIZED PLUG IS A SAFETY FEATURE. This tool is equipped with a polarized two wire AC line plug. The two wire polarized plug (having one
blade wider than the other) will fi t into the power outlet only one way. DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED PLUG, by tam-
pering with it. If the plug does not fi t you should still be unable to fully insert the plug into the socket, you may fi nd that a proper outlet is needed to meet
today’s electrical standards. An electrician will replace your outlet safely.

Extension Cords
Always check the extension cord and repair or replace if damaged.

Outdoor Use Extension Cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords marked W-A or W.

Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing, use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.

Check Damaged Parts

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment if moving parts, binding or moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
DO NOT OPERATE power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Motors in these tools normally
spark and sparks can possibly ignite fumes.

Read all instruction.
Save these instructions.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Please read carefully all safety rules and operating instructions. The Model KL-200 Shear is recommended for CR sheet steel up to 18 gage. Secure
work piece. To start cut, place side knives of shear slightly on the edge of the top side of the work piece to steady the tool and ready it for the cut.
Depress the trigger switch and guide shear into the work. Do not force it. Avoid double thicknesses of material which exceed the 18 gage recommended
capacity. For cutting within perimeter of work piece, drill a 1/2” diameter starting hole and follow instructions above. If resistance to tool develops or cut­ting becomes diffi cult, discontinue cutting and check the following: lubrication; thickness of material; sharpness of cutting blades.

Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. Use Alternating Current Only (50 to 60 Cycles), 120 volts. Voltage variation of more than
10% will cause loss of power and overheating. Motors are factory tested. If this shear does not operate, check the following: supply line for blown fuses;

plug and receptacle for contact. This tool will stop when the brushes wear to a preset length. Damage to the motor is thus avoided.

MAINTENANCE

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Tool may be cleaned and lubricated by the user, but any other servicing, including the changing of
carbon brushes, should be performed by the manufacturer or any authorized representative or service station.

Cable

The cable or cord is the “life line” of your tool. Keep it clean by wiping it off occasionally. Keep it out of oils and greases. Coil it neatly when not in use
and avoid dragging it across sharp surfaces or using it as a handle to lift the tool.

When using the tool at a considerable distance from power source, an extension cable of adequate size must be used to prevent loss of power and over­heating.

For extension cables up to 75 feet use number 18; for 100 feet use number 16; and for up to 200 feet use number 14 wire gage. If you are working with
a 230 volt fool, cable lengths may be doubled using the same wire gage sizes as prescribed above for the 120 volt tool.

Lubrication
Always disconnect KL-200 Electric Shear from power source before lubricating.

Once every three months, depending upon usage, remove the shear Head from the power unit following the instructions given on the service sheet un­der the heading “Disassembly-To remove the shear head assembly (60-20) from the drive motor.” Put a few drops of heavy oil on the Eccentric Bearing
Assembly (60-24), so that it saturates the needle bearing (60-24-2). Grease is even better if it can be forced or pressed into the needle bearing rollers.
The outside surface of the Eccentric Bearing Ring (60-24-3) should also be greased.

Tools that have seen continuous use should also have the gear train lubricated periodically, preferably at the same time the eccentric bearing assembly
is serviced. To lubricate the gears remove the screws that hold the gear case to the motor shell. Remove the gear case from the cover plate and wipe
out the old grease with a cloth. Wash the gears and spindles with kerosene or cleaning fl uid. Refi ll the gear case ONLY 1/3 FULL with a good standard
gear grease. Never fi ll more than 1/3. The Ball bearing in the gear case is a closed type bearing. It has been permanently lubricated at the factory to last
the life of the bearing. This bearing should NEVER be immersed in a solvent or cleaning fl uid.

Adherence to these maintenance instructions will greatly increase the life of your Model KL-200 Electric Shear, so it will give you long and satisfactory
service.
