WARNING
For your own safety, read the owner’s manual before operating the foot shear.
This foot shear is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel
only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a foot shear, do not use until
proper training and knowledge has been obtained.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. Avoid placing any part of your body
near belts, cutters, gears, etc.
3. DO NOT EXCEED 16 GAUGE RATED CAPACITY on this shear.
4. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and work benches invite accidents.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
8. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
9. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
10. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
11. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
13. NEVER STAND ON A MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine tipped.
14. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the machine, 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 of moving parts, binding of 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.
15. SHEET METAL STOCK HAS SHARP EDGES. To prevent cuts, use caution when handling.
16. KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS clear of the area in front and rear of the shearing blades.
17. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE for any purpose other than for which it was designed
18. FAILURE TO COMPLY with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
19. SOME DUST CREATED BY power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•
•
•
Lead from lead based paint
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, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles
20. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

from the upper blade. The distance between
the upper and lower blades should be 0.002-
0.005”. Do not let the blades overlap.
3. Place a heavy sheet of paper (~0.005”) in
the cutting position, along the entire length
of the bed, and slowly press the foot lever.
4. If the shear does not cut the paper move the
lower blade towards the upper blade.
5. If the shear cuts the paper on the ends, but
not the center, turn the tie-rod adjusting
screw #37, clockwise until the paper is cut
the entire length.
Uncrating and Clean-Up
1. Remove the crate from around the machine.
2. Carefully clean all rust protected surfaces
with a mild solvent or kerosene and a soft
rag. Do not use lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, or gasoline. These will damage
painted surfaces.
3. Coat all machined surfaces with a light coat
of oil to inhibit rust.
4. Remove the bolts holding the machine to the
skid.
6. If the shear cuts the paper in the center, but
not the ends, turn the tie-rod adjusting screw
#37, counter-clockwise until the paper is cut
the entire length.
5. Carefully move the machine to a level
foundation. Machine location must allow
access to all sides.
7. Make sure the scales #15 and #16 on top of
the bed are square to the blade, and also
show the correct distance from the blade.
8. Make test cuts to verify the scales are
correct.
Assembly Note: Prior to shipment the foot
shear is adjusted at the factory for proper
operation. If the machine does not operate
properly or the stand does not sit squarely on
the floor, proceed to setup.
Blade Care
Stop Assembly
The 2-way upper blade can be removed and
flipped 180°, for a sharp edge before having to
sharpen the blade.
The (#) in the text refers to the breakdown.
1. Attach the two front arm extensions #6 to
the bed with four hex cap screws and
washers.
2. Attach the stop #71 to the front extension
arms with T-nuts #72.
Wipe the blade lightly with oil. Lubricate all pivot
points on the machine daily.
Spring Tension
3. Attach the rear stop #59 to the adjusting
block assembly #61.
4. Insert the rod #58 through the adjusting
block assembly and into the cutter bar.
Tighten in place with knobs #65.
The spring return can be adjusted on the foot
lever by tightening #46 hex nuts.
The spring return can be adjusted on the hold
down #3 by tightening #10 hex nuts.
Setup
Gib Adjustment
1. Loosen four bolts #21. Loosen adjusting
screws #18 & 19. The bed must rest
squarely on the right and left hand side
panels at all four corners while screws are
loose. Shim legs at floor if necessary.
Tighten hardware.
There are three hex cap screws #32 that can be
adjusted for play in the shim #31. Adjust for
smooth travel.
2. Use set screw #18 and hex cap screw #19,
