This tool is designed to cut steel sheets up to a maximum thickness of 6mm.
The shears can cut round bars with a diameter of up to 12mm.
Mounting hardware (bolts or screws) is not included. You will need to provide appropriate fasteners suitable for your workbench material and the shears' mounting holes.
Keep the blades clean after each use. Apply a light machine oil periodically to the pivot and blades for smooth operation and rust prevention. Sharpen or replace blades if they become dull or damaged.
While it may cut softer metals, it is primarily designed for steel. Cutting harder or thicker materials than specified can damage the blades and affect performance.
The net weight of the shears is 15.28kg.
It is designed for heavy-duty use, suitable for professional tradespeople and demanding DIY projects. For continuous, high-volume industrial applications, powered machinery might be more appropriate.
Check the pivot point for obstructions or debris. Apply a light machine oil to the pivot. Ensure the blades are properly aligned and not warped.
Verify that the material being cut is within the specified capacity (6mm sheet, 12mm bar). Ensure the blades are sharp and free from damage. Check that the shears are securely mounted to prevent movement during cutting.
Stop use immediately. Inspect blades for damage. If chipped or significantly worn, the shear blades will need to be replaced. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts.
Ensure the shears are securely bolted to a solid workbench. The workbench itself should be stable and not prone to movement. Re-tighten all mounting hardware.
