Alligator Hydraulic Shear Machine
Pre-operational preparation steps to ensure safety, efficiency, and equipment protection during shearing operations
Machine Inspection
Conduct a thorough inspection of the machine before starting operations:
- Check hydraulic oil level is within normal range
- Inspect pipelines, joints, and hydraulic cylinder for leaks
- Ensure shear blades are free of cracks, chips, or excessive wear
- Verify blades are firmly fastened to prevent loosening
- Test control system functions (start, stop, emergency buttons)
- Confirm stable electrical or fuel supply (for diesel models)
Material Preparation
Properly prepare materials to be sheared for optimal results:
- Clean materials to remove dirt, rust, or debris
- Sort materials based on hardness and size
- Group similar materials for consistent shearing force
- Prepare positioning tools for irregularly shaped materials
- Ensure materials stay aligned with blades during shearing
Safety Setup
Implement essential safety measures before operation:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
- Use heavy-duty gloves for hand protection
- Wear impact-resistant goggles for eye protection
- Use sturdy work boots and protective clothing
- Check built-in safety devices (blade guards, emergency stops)
- Confirm safety fence or barrier is properly installed
Work Environment
Organize the working environment for safety and efficiency:
- Clear area around machine of obstacles
- Ensure adequate space for operation and material handling
- Verify floor is dry and non-slip
- Inform nearby personnel about operations
- Restrict access to prevent unauthorized entry
Important Note
These preparatory steps lay a solid foundation for smooth, safe, and effective shearing with the Alligator Hydraulic Shear Machine. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and local safety regulations.
