Motor
Your D
WALT tool is powered by a D
E
with the nameplate marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power
and overheating. D
WALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check power
E
supply.
COMPONENTS (Fig. 1, 2)
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could
result.
A. Fixed Blade
B. Moving Blade
C. Curl Deflector
D. Paddle Switch
E. Lock Button
INTENDED USE
The DW892 14-gauge shear is designed for professional cutting at various work sites (i.e.,
construction sites). DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or
gases.
These 14-gauge shears are professional power tools. DO NOT let children come into contact
with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Switches (Fig. 1)
To start tool, depress the paddle switch (D). To turn the tool off, release the paddle. The paddle
switch can be locked on by engaging the lock button (E) 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 (Fig. 2, 3 )
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
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 (B) must be centered to correspond with the position of the lower fixed
blade (A) 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 ac cording to the thickness of the
material to be cut. The shear is sup plied with a gauge to facilitate this adjustment. As shown in
Fig ure 3, loos en the clamp screw (I) and withdraw the lower blade away from the upper loos-
ening set screw (H). Insert the appropriate size feeler gauge between the 2 blades and slowly
tighten screw (H) until both blades are in contact with the gauge. Lock the lower blade by tight-
ening screw (I) and tighten the hex nut (G) to lock set screw (H).
OPERATION (fig. 1, 4, 5)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
Start the shear by depressing the paddle switch (D). Hold the shear positioned so the main body
is parallel to the work (K) and the cutters are at right angle to the work (Fig. 4). Engage the cut-
ters 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 (L)
provided.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at least once a week. Wear
proper ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) eye protection and proper NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts
of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid..

tion. This lubrication should only be attempted by trained power tool repairmen such as those at
