H2867 Electric Shear
-5-
Operation
If you are cutting a large dimension of
sheet metal, use a large flat working sur-
face such as a workbench to support the
work as shown in Figure 3. Once the cut
lines have been determined, turn the
shears ON and begin the cut.
If you need to trim small pieces of sheet
metal, use the shear in a stationary posi-
tion while pulling the metal through the
shears, towards your body as shown in
Figure 4. Avoid letting your fingers get to
close to the moving jaws.
If everything is in proper adjustment and
working order, there should be a spiral trail
of sheet metal exiting the shear as you
make your cut.
