Troubleshooting

Shear not cutting cleanly

Ensure the material is within the specified thickness limits. Check if the blade is dull or damaged and needs sharpening or replacement. Verify that the material is properly positioned against the blade and cutting surface.

Lever is stiff or difficult to operate

Check for obstructions or debris around the lever mechanism. Lubricate the pivot points and spring mechanism with a suitable lubricant. Ensure the shear is securely mounted, as a wobbly base can make operation harder.

Blade appears misaligned

Inspect the mounting screws for the blade and adjust if necessary. Ensure the base plate is not bent. If the damage is significant, the blade may need replacement.

Tool is unstable during operation

Re-secure the shear to the workbench using the fastening plates. Ensure the mounting surface is robust and flat. Use appropriate hardware for your workbench material.
