Q01 Series Techinical data:

Foot shear

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 not 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 of other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
15. Sheet metal stock has sharp edges. To prevent cuts, use caution when handing.
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, and arsenic and chromium from chemically - treated lumber.

1. Your risk from those 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.
2. Don’t operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

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. Don’t 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.
5. Carefully move the machine to a level foundation. Machine location must allow access to all sides.

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.

Stop Assembly

The ( # ) in the text refers to the breakdown.

1. Attach the two front arm extensions #6 to the bed with four hex socket cap screws and washers.
2. Attach the stop to the front extension arms with T – nuts #72.
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 set screws.

Setup

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.
2. Use set screw #18 and hex cap screw #19, to adjust the lower blade towards or away 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.
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.
7. Make sure the scales #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 scale is correct.

Blade Care

The 2 – way upper blade can be removed and flipped 180°, for a sharp edge before having to sharpen the blade.

Wipe the blade lightly with oil. Lubricate all pivot points on the machine daily.

Spring Tension

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.

Gib Adjustment

There are three hex cap screws #32 that can be adjusted for play in the shim #31. Adjust for smooth travel.
