CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, al ways wear
NIOSH/OSHA approved, properly fit ting face mask or res pi ra tor when us ing
such tools.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
instructions listed below may result in electric

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
2. Keep hands awayfrom cutting area. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
3. Stay clear of end piecesthat may fall after being cut off. Contact with a
sharp edge could result in personal injury.
4. Always keep the power cord away from the edge of the material being
sheared. Sharp edges can result in the cord insulation being cut. This
condition may create an electrical hazard.
5.Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards.
Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.
6.
other airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust
and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always
operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis
(a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and
avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth
or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material.
Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and
water.
Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or

MOTOR
Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60
cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on
the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for A.C.
current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage and
current rating.
Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is not
within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C. current. To do so
may seriously damage the tool.
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to
prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible
motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in this
section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for 230
volts) at 150% of rated amperes.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A
or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it is
acceptable for outdoor use.

TO INSTALL THE CUTTER BLADES
NOTE: Change the side knives after they show a width wear pattern of fifty
percent (50%). Swap the knives left to right and use them until the patterns meet.
When the patterns meet, invert the left and right side knives and use them until
they show a width wear pattern of fifty percent (50%). They can then be swapped
from left to right until you use all four (4) sides of the blades. Never exceed 10,000
feet of cutting on a set of side knives. The tool will continue to cut after these
landmarks are reached, but to do so will overload the power unit.
Disconnect the tool from the power source!
1. Place the side knives (D) and (E) Fig. 3 back into the shear housing. Insert a
cap screw through the center hole in the shear housing, the side knife (E),
the spacer bushing (C), the other side knife, (D). Thread the screw into the
housing one or two turns. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
2. Coat the remaining spacer bushing (C) Fig. 3 with lubricant and insert it into the
hole in the center blade (F). Start the center blade (with the spacer bushing) into
the rear of the shear housing. Tap it forward until the hole in the spacer bushing
aligns with the front hole in the shear housing. Insert a cap screw and thread it
into the housing one or two turns. DO NOT TIGHTEN. Coat the center blade
yoke area with lubricant.
3. Insert the remaining cap screw into the rear hole in the shear housing and
thread it into housing one or two turns. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
4. Place the shear head on the motor unit. Seat it with a light twisting motion.
Rotate the shear head to the desired position (any radial position), and
tighten all three cap screws (A).
