2026-01-08 Leave a message
1

Pre-operation Inspection

Before operation, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the equipment to ensure safe and proper functioning.

Safety First Critical Check
  • Check for any damage to the machine body and leaks in the hydraulic system
  • Verify the blade gap meets requirements for shearing the intended material
  • Ensure all safety devices are intact and functioning effectively
  • Clear the work area of obstructions that could hinder operation
  • Properly position material to be sheared, ensuring specifications match equipment capacity
  • Operators must wear appropriate protective equipment
  • Familiarize with equipment operating buttons and emergency stop device locations

Start-up and Debugging

Follow proper procedures for powering up and testing equipment before beginning operations.

Test Run Parameter Setup
  • Start power supply according to equipment operating procedures
  • Conduct a no-load test run after power-up
  • Observe equipment runs smoothly without unusual vibrations or sounds
  • Check hydraulic system pressure is within normal range
  • Verify blade movement trajectory is accurate
  • Ensure feeding mechanism operates without jamming
  • Stop immediately if any abnormalities are detected and troubleshoot
  • Adjust blade gap and shearing speed based on material type and thickness

Standardized Operation

Follow standardized procedures during operation to maintain safety and efficiency.

Hands Clear Single Operator
  • Maintain correct standing posture during operation
  • Smoothly push material with both hands, keeping it aligned with positioning device
  • Monitor equipment operation and material shearing process continuously
  • Never touch blades or shearing area with hands during operation
  • If material jams, stop machine and disconnect power before clearing
  • Use only specialized tools for clearing jams, never hands
  • Strictly prohibit unauthorized operation or adjustments
  • Ensure single-person operation to prevent miscommunication
Important Safety Note: Always keep hands away from moving parts and shearing areas. Use push sticks or other tools when working with small pieces.

Shutdown and Finishing

Proper shutdown procedures and maintenance ensure equipment longevity and readiness for next use.

Clean-up Maintenance
  • Stop feeding material and wait for blades to reset before powering down
  • Clean equipment surface and work area of material residue
  • Inspect blades for wear; replace or grind as necessary
  • Add lubricating oil to moving parts as specified in maintenance schedule
  • Arrange sheared materials neatly for storage or further processing
  • Record equipment operating status and any issues encountered
  • Report problems promptly to ensure timely resolution
  • Perform routine maintenance to ensure smooth subsequent operations
