Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avoid using these products to clean machinery. Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.
SETUP
Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of
cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.
. Wipe off surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is
effective, the coating will wipe off easily.
Tip: An easier way to clean off thick coats of rust preventative from flat surfaces is to use a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you may scratch your machine.)
. Repeat cleaning steps as necessary until all of the
compound is removed.
. To prevent rust on freshly cleaned surfaces,
In a pinch, automotive degreasers, mineral spirits or WD•40 can be used to remove rust preventative coating. Before using these products, though, test them on an inconspicuous area of your paint to make sure they will not damage it.

Physical Environment
The physical environment where the machine is operated is important for safe operation and longevity of components. For best results, operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are generally those where the ambient temperature range is outside 41°–104°F; the relative humidity range is outside 20–95% (non-condensing); or the environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/ covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.

Machine Placement
Refer to the Machine Specifications for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate enough that operations can be performed safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during operation, resulting in a machine that runs slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the machine to the floor is an optional step. If you choose not to do this with your machine, we recommend placing it on machine mounts, as these provide an easy method for leveling and they have vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see Figure) are a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move the machine later, if needed. However, anytime local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring methodology specified by the code.

Model M1117 (For Machines Mfd. Since 9/21)
1. Use level to check shear table.
— If table is level, no adjustment is required. Proceed
to Step 2.
— If table is not level, use shims between floor and
base to level machine before proceeding. Leveling shear helps blades and other components remain straight and flat during life of machine so machine can continue to cut straight and square.

additional training from experienced machine
, and do additional research outside of this
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:
Examines workpiece to make sure it is within
1.
capacities of machine.
Adjusts rear work stop length for cut.
2.
3. Puts on safety glasses, leather boots, and leather
gloves.
Places workpiece on front extension arms.
4.
5. Slides workpiece under blade guard and upper blade,
and up against rear work stop.
6. Adjusts front work stop (or bevel gauge, if angled
workpiece) against workpiece to keep shearing force from pushing workpiece forward.
To reduce your risk of serious injury or damage to the machine, read this entire manual BEFORE using machine.
Bodily injury could result from using this machine. Always wear safety glasses, leather work boots, and heavy duty leather work gloves when operating this machine or whenever handling sheet metal.
Shear blades or hold-down/blade guard can easily pinch, crush, or amputate fingers or other body parts. Always keep body parts away from blades and hold-down during operation.

Cutting Tips
• Never attempt to cut any workpiece narrower than
1
⁄2". The workpiece must be long enough to be
engaged by the hold-down/blade guard.
Model M1117 (For Machines Mfd. Since 9/21)
Shearing Action
• Keep the upper blade properly adjusted to the lower
blade (refer to Adjusting Blade Gap on Page 29 for detailed instructions). This will help ensure good cutting results and avoid blade damage.
Before each operation, clean cut-offs or debris away
• from the shear.
• Use the foot pedal to engage the hold-down/blade guard with the workpiece, then pause to check the workpiece position. If the workpiece position is correct, continue lowering the foot pedal to complete the cut.
• The shearing action of the blades works similarly to a pair of scissors (see illustration in Figure 17). Use even pressure on the foot pedal throughout the entire cut to produce a straight, even cut.

Sharpening/Replacing
Blade
The upper blade of the Model M1117 has 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 the upper blade cutting edges are dull, or the cutting edge of the lower blade is dull, sharpen the blade(s) on a surface grinder and make sure the blade is flat along the entire length. Re-sharpen each blade edge as needed until it is too thin to safely install (as described in the following steps), then replace the blade. We recommend you keep an extra set of blades on hand to avoid any downtime.

Adjusting Blade Gap
The gap between the upper and lower blades (as they pass each other) must remain even along the length of the 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 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 bind when lowering past the lower blade and the cutting edges may become damaged.

To adjust blade gap, do these steps:
1. Make cuts on piece of paper along full length of
shear blades.
— If paper cuts cleanly on full length of shear blades,
blade gap requires no adjustment.
— If paper does not cut cleanly on only one end of
shear, lower blade needs to be adjusted on that end. Proceed to Step 2.
— If paper does not cut cleanly along the entire
length of blades, both ends of lower blade need to be adjusted. Proceed to Step 2.
— If paper cuts cleanly on ends but not center of
blades, or it cuts cleanly in center but not ends, blade bow needs to be adjusted (refer to Adjusting Blade Bow on Page 30 for detailed instructions).
. Loosen (2) table bolts, (2) table adjustment bolts,
