Cutting Angle Iron And Rebar - Greenlee Shear 30T Manual De Instrucciones

Operation (cont'd)
Engage caster brakes before operating unit.
Cutting Angle Iron (Steel Angles) and Rebar
Note: When cutting angle iron and rebar, the reaction
force on the ends of the workpiece can be severe.
Always use the Rear Support to secure the workpiece
when cutting angle iron and rebar. The current Rear
Channel Rest will not provide sufficient support and
damage to the Rear Channel rest will occur if not
properly supported.
Lower the Rear Channel Rest and push the angle iron
or rebar through the Rear Support and then through
the Stationary and Mobile Dies up to the measurement
stop (if being used) or to the desired finished length.
Provide support to the free end of the angle iron or rebar,
keeping it perpendicular to the dies, to prevent the piece
from falling. Activate the hydraulic pump to begin the
cut cycle. Wait for the angle iron or rebar to shear then
release the hydraulic pressure. The Mobile Die will auto-
matically return to its original position to begin another
cut. Lower the Measurement Stop and unload the fin-
ished workpiece, then return the stop for the next cut.
Note: The Rear Channel Rest was designed to support
up to 10 foot workpiece lengths. Additional support may
be required when cutting lengths longer than this.
Note: Cutting angle iron and rebar will require more
frequent cleaning in the track portions of the Cassette
Frame and Die Retaining Rails. Scale on the surface
of the angle iron and rebar will fall during cutting and
accumulate in the unit. See maintenance instructions
for cleaning.
Note: To remove the Rear Support when it is not
in use, disengage the plunger by pulling up the key
ring and slide the Support Frame out. To use the Rear
Support again, lift the key ring and slide the Support
Frame into the Support Base. Release the key ring and
make sure that the Support Frame is secure in place.
When cutting short pieces of angle iron or rebar the
finished workpiece can pop out due to the shock
of the cutting cycle, always wear safety glasses.
