14 and 16 Gauge Power Shears Manual
Parts and maintenance manual for FAMCO 14 and 16 gauge power shears, covering everything from initial setup through routine upkeep and troubleshooting. Installation instructions address floor mounting on concrete or wood surfaces and proper electrical connection with counter-clockwise motor rotation. Operation details cover both foot control and dual hand control configurations, with guidance on single stroke and continuous mode settings. The manual walks through critical adjustments including crosshead gib bearing clearance, knife blade spacing (0.002 to 0.005 inches), back gauge reset, and holddown feet pressure calibration. A detailed lubrication schedule specifies maintenance intervals for gib-ways, drive shaft bearings, eccentric cams, and gear case oil changes using SAE 30 oil after the initial 50-hour break-in period and every six months thereafter; control rod pin lubrication calls for SAE 50 oil. The complete electromatic control circuit schematic illustrates single stroke, continuous, and neutral selector positions. For users with the optional Precision Back Gauge equipment, dedicated sections provide installation steps, angular cutting procedures, and sealed bearing care instructions.
