MAINTENANCE

Honing the Blade
Push the handle down until the blade 1/8" (3mm)
above the tabletop. Place the provided Honing Stone
(J) against the flat side of the blade. Slide the honing
stone from one end of the blade to the other 3-4
times. This will remove any burrs from your blade and
should be done every 100 cuts. Use caution when
honing the blade. The blade is sharp and can easily
cause injury. Cut resistant gloves are recommended
when honing the blade.
Replacing the Blade
Use cut-resistant gloves when replacing the blade.
Cover the cutting edge with a blade guard or other
suitable covering. Place the shear upside down on
a workbench with the jaws in the open position,
creating a gap to allow blade removal. To remove the
blade use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and loosen the
5 retaining screws one full turn counterclockwise.
Do not remove the screws. When the last screw is
loosened, the blade will slip out of the retaining slot.
Cover the cutting edge of the new blade with a blade
guard or other suitable covering. Slide the new blade
into the slot with the beveled edge facing the screws.
Center the blade in the slot and make sure the blade
is fully inserted. Hand-tighten the center screw.
Hand-tighten the remaining screws to complete the
installation.

Lubrication

After every 100 cuts, it is recommended that the
shear be lubricated. Use a light oil and apply according
to the image. Lubricating the shear will extend the life
of the shear and result in easier cutting.
