6.3. Cutting-off Angular Sections on the Lever Shear

- Scribe length of angle section accurately to size. Scribe the line inside.

- Shove angular section through the shear’s angular-profiled blade (in line of vision to the shear).

- Align scribed line with upper shear blade.

- Release hand lever locking device.

- Pull down hand lever with a jerk.

- Pull angular section out of the shear. Throw waste par into the waste container.
