The Hydraulic Shear is a tool designed for cutting metal materials. Below are detailed instructions on how to use it correctly:

Preparation

Choose the Right Shear:

Select the appropriate specification and model based on the type, thickness, and hardness of the material. Ensure the shear's cutting capacity meets the job requirements.

Inspect the Equipment:

Carefully check all parts of the shear, including the blades, handle, spring, and connecting pins, to ensure they are intact without looseness, deformation, or wear. Repair or replace any damaged parts before use.

Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

To ensure safety, operators should wear a safety helmet, protective gloves, and goggles to prevent injuries from flying debris during cutting.

Operating Instructions

Adjust the Shear:

Adjust the blade gap according to the thickness and shape of the material. Thicker materials typically require a larger blade gap, while thinner materials need a smaller gap.

Position the Material:

Place the metal material under the shear blade. Ensure it is stable and properly aligned with the cutting edge.

Grip the Shear:

Hold the shear handle firmly with your right hand, keeping your fingers naturally bent. Avoid overextending or overbending your fingers to maintain accuracy and effective force transmission. The left hand can assist in stabilizing the material.

Apply Cutting Force:

Once the material is positioned correctly, apply steady and even cutting force using your arm and wrist. Gradually press the blade into the material. Maintain a consistent and stable force to avoid sudden pressure that could damage the blade or deform the material.

Complete the Cut:

After the material is fully cut, apply a bit more force to ensure the material is completely severed. Release the shear and remove the cut material.

Important Notes

Avoid Overloading:

Do not attempt to cut materials beyond the shear's rated capacity to prevent damage to the blade or equipment and ensure operator safety.

Maintain Proper Cutting Angle:

Keep the shear as perpendicular to the material as possible to achieve optimal cutting results and extend the blade's lifespan. Avoid large cutting angles that may cause lateral forces, leading to blade deformation or damage.

Regular Maintenance:

Clean the shear after use, removing any debris and grease. Lubricate and maintain the blade as needed. Perform regular inspections and replace worn parts to extend the shear's service life.

Safe Storage:

Store the shear in a dry and well-ventilated area, away from corrosive substances to prevent rust and damage. Keep it out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
