What it is for

Used in steel fabrication, from cutting to assembly, in metalworking and for cutting metal sections, sheet and tube.

How to use it

Clamp or hold the workpiece still and guide the shear along the marked line, with a steady feed, without forcing or bending the piece. Work with gloves and goggles, because the cut edge is sharp. Keep the blades clean and replace or adjust them when the cut starts to fray.
