Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum thickness this machine can cut?

The HS-500 is optimized for materials up to 1.5 mm thick, specifically for Q235 steel.

Can this be used for cutting stainless steel?

This unit is designed for Q235 steel, aluminum, copper, and PCB. Avoid using it for stainless steel or hardened alloys as they may dull the blade rapidly.

Does the shear require a permanent installation?

While it can sit on its stand, it is highly recommended to bolt the stand to the ground to ensure stability during the cutting process.

How do I maintain the T10 steel blades?

Keep the blades clean of debris and apply a light coat of anti-corrosion oil when not in use for extended periods.

Is the handle adjustable?

The handle is designed for manual leverage and is fixed to provide the necessary force for 1.5 mm material shearing.

What is the total weight of the machine?

The net weight of the unit, including the stand, is 33 kg.

Troubleshooting

Cuts are rough or leaving burrs

Adjust the precision gap control settings to be tighter, or check if the T10 steel blade requires cleaning or re-sharpening.

Shear feels unstable during operation

Ensure all mounting bolts on the stand and the main body are tightened securely; anchor the stand to the floor if necessary.

Hard to push down on the handle

Verify that the material thickness is within the 1.5 mm limit and check the hinge points for sufficient lubrication.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality T10 steel blades ensure longevity
  • Clean, professional-grade cut quality on various metals
  • Sturdy stand included for stable operation
  • Adjustable gap settings for versatile material thickness
  • Reliable, manual operation requires no external power

Cons

  • Limited to 1.5 mm maximum material thickness
  • Requires manual physical effort for operation
  • Heavy unit weight (33 kg) makes it difficult to move once set up
  • Larger footprint compared to handheld electric shears

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Assembly: Unpack the unit and securely attach the shears to the included stand using the provided heavy-duty bolts.
  2. Placement: Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface. It is recommended to anchor the base to the floor for maximum stability.
  3. Compatibility: The shear is designed for sheets of PCB, aluminum, copper, plastic, and steel up to 1.5 mm. Do not attempt to cut hardened materials or steel thicker than the recommended 1.5 mm, as this may damage the blade.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly wipe the blade clean of metal shavings and dust. Apply a light machine oil to the pivot points and the blade edge periodically to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Check the blade tightness frequently to maintain clean cuts.
