Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is defective should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by
authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does
not turn it on and off.
• DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools near
flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmos-
pheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the
sparks might ignite fumes.
• When driving or drilling into walls, floors or wherever live
electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH
ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by
the insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if
you drive into a live wire.

4. Always start tool before engaging material to be cut.
5. Don't cut material thicker than rated capacity. Remember,
material thickness increases as gauge number decreases.
(14 gauge is thicker than 16 gauge.)
6.Keep all screws tight. Periodically check them for
loosening.
7.If possible, cut material so scrap curl is to the right. This
direction will move curl down and out of the way.
8.Unplug tool before making any adjustments.
9 .Do not put anything into a motor housing opening.
10.Keep tool clean. Blow off any metal debris and dirt from
tool.
11.Use shears upright. If tool is upside down, metal curl may
turn toward you.
12.Firmly secure the piece of metal to be cut to prevent
movement during cutting.

tool is not locked on before plugging it in. To turn the tool off
when it is locked on, squeeze and release the paddle once.
Operation
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER
