OPERATIONS
General
The Model M1044 will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or if performed incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary knowl-
edge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time
you are experiencing difficulties performing any opera-
tion, stop using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced Foot Shear operator before perform-
ing any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety
should come first!
READ and understand this entire instruc-
tion manual before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may occur if
safety and operational information is not
understood and followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
Stops & Guides
The front stop and angle guide are quickly adjusted by
wing nuts on the top of the stops. The rear extension
arms have micro-adjusting stops in Figure 13 that allow
you to fine tune your cut length. For the most accurate
cuts, make sure that you have at least one square edge
up against a stop.
