Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Double Insulation

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.

NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

CAUTION:WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.

Polarized Plugs

Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When provided, this plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Safety Instructions For All Tools

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
  SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for

better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace it damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

• DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Minimum Gage for Cord Sets

10	-	16	16	14	12
12	-	14	12	Not Recommended

• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
  STAY ALERT: Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, 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 by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

WARNING: 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 paints,
  crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
  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 specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE

Motor

Your DEWALT tool is powered by a DEWALT built motor. Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Switch

Tostart shear, depress the paddle switch (Figure 1). To turn the tool off, release the paddle. The paddle switch can be locked on by

engaging the lock button located near the rear of the tool, while holding the paddle depressed. Always be sure that the tool is not locked on before plugging in. To turn the tool off when it is locked on, squeeze and release the paddle once.

Setting the Blades

TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ADJUSTING BLADES.

VERTICAL CLEARANCE: Position the moving blade at the top of its stroke. Adjust the vertical clearance so that the "V" shaped opening appears as in Figure 2.

HORIZONTAL CLEARANCE: The upper movable blade must be centered to correspond with the position of the lower fixed blade as shown in Figure 2 by releasing the clamp screw with the key provided.

The lower blade must be positioned relative to the upper blade according to the thickness of the material to be cut. The shear is supplied with a gauge to facilitate this adjustment. As shown in Figure 3, loosen the clamp screw "A" and withdraw the lower blade away from the upper loosening set screw "B". Insert the appropriate size feeler gauge between the 2 blades and slowly tighten screw "B" until both blades are in contact with the gauge. Lock the lower blade by tightening screw "A" and tighten the hex nut "C" to lock set screw "B".

Operation

Start the shear by depressing the paddle switch. Hold the shear positioned so the main body is parallel to the work and the cutters are at right angle to the work (Figure 4). Engage the cutters with the edge of the material to be cut, and apply only sufficient forward pressure to start cutting. The relative position of the cutters to the work is critical, and it may be necessary to tilt the tool forward or backward until the best cutting rate is achieved. Too much tilt will stop the cut. Blades must be sharpened in accordance with the angles in Figure 5, using the template provided.

Cleaning

Blowing dust and grit out of the main housing by means of air hose is recommended and may be done as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the ventilator vents. The motor should be running while air is being blown into the air vents.

Lubrication

DeWALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready to use. Tools should be relubricated regularly every 60 days to 6 months, depending on usage. Tools used constantly on production or heavy-duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication. This lubrication should only be attempted by trained power tool repairmen such as those at DeWALT certified service centers.

Accessories

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your distributor or local service center.

CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended accessory may be hazardous.

Important

Toassure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
