OPERATION  
Figure 1. Setting gap with shims.  
Operating this shear can propel  
objects into the air, causing immedi-  
ate eye damage. To protect yourself,  
always wear American National  
Standards Institute (ANSI) approved  
safety glasses or goggles when oper-  
ating this equipment. To protect your  
hands, always wear leather hand pro-  
tection when operating this shear.  
Test Run  
Your Model H2867 has a slide style  
ON/OFF switch as shown in Figure 2.  
Before performing any cutting operations,  
turn the shear ON and listen for any  
unusual noises. If everything appears to  
be in working order, you are ready to begin  
cutting.  
Adjustments  
Your Model H2867 includes a set of three  
thickness shims: 0.005", 0.008" and  
0.013". These shims are used to set the  
gap size between the side of the shear jaw  
and the moving cutter. Depending on the  
thickness of the material you intend to cut,  
one of the three thickness shims is used to  
set the desired gap. The following is a gen-  
eral guideline for correct adjustment:  
Sheet Metal  
• 25 Gauge  
• 19 Gauge  
• 16 Gauge  
Shim  
0.005"  
0.008"  
0.013"  
Figure 2. ON/OFF switch.  
Use the supplied Allen® wrench to adjust  
the gap of the cutting jaws as shown in  
Figure 1.

Operation  
If you are cutting a large dimension of  
sheet metal, use a large flat working sur-  
face such as a workbench to support the  
work as shown in Figure 3. Once the cut  
lines have been determined, turn the  
shears ON and begin the cut.  
Figure 3. Cutting large stock.  
If you need to trim small pieces of sheet  
metal, use the shear in a stationary posi-  
tion while pulling the metal through the  
shears, towards your body as shown in  
Figure 4. Avoid letting your fingers get to  
close to the moving jaws.  
If everything is in proper adjustment and  
working order, there should be a spiral trail  
of sheet metal exiting the shear as you  
make your cut.

MAINTENANCE  
Slide the old brushes out of the slots and  
Oiling Shear  
replace with the fresh set as shown in  
Figure 7. Screw the caps back into the  
shear body and the shear is ready for use.  
Periodically oil your new Grizzly shear to  
help maintain its useful life. Place one drop  
of light machine oil in the shear jaws (as  
shown in Figure 5) before every use. Wipe  
off any excess oil to avoid dust build-up.  
Figure 7. Replacing brushes.  
Cleaning Shear  
Use a good solvent to clean the jaw  
assembly of the shear. Avoid getting sol-  
vent on the plastic body of the shear as it  
may damage the plastic. Always be sure  
that the shear is dry before using it again.  
Figure 5. Lubricating shear.  
Changing Brushes  
Over time, the motor brushes will become  
worn and loaded with carbon deposits.  
This will dramatically lower the perfor-  
mance of the electrical motor.  
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into the  
air vent holes. This could lead to motor fail-  
ure and premature bushing failure.  
An extra pair of brushes has been includ-  
ed. To change the brushes, unscrew the  
small caps on the sides of the shear body  
as shown in Figure 6.  
Never use use gasoline or other flam-  
mable liquids to clean this tool.  
Vapors in the tool may ignite, causing  
the tool to explode. Ignoring this  
warning may lead to serious personal  
injury or even death!
