The 226 Shear has two Leverage Modes
Mode 1: Use the long-stroke cams (black lobes) only
for lightweight products thicker than 1/2 inch.
Mode 2: For all other recommended products,
use the short-stroke cams (grey lobes).
1) Remove any obstructions from under the
blade.
2) Push handle to the closed position. Œ
3) Ensure that the camlock pin is
disengaged.
4) Apply pressure to the lever of one of the
short-stroke cams (grey lobes) and let the
handle up slowly until the cam snaps into
place (or out of place to disengage). )
Repeat steps 2 - 4 for the other lobe.

Leverage Switch Instructions
Engaging the Short-Stroke Cams
Most materials listed on page (7) shear cleanly with just one cut. However, some types of laminate flooring and
fiber cement siding may require cutting twice to produce a better cut.
DOUBLE CUTTING:
Simply make your first cut 1/8” to 1/4” (3mm to 6mm) longer than your mark and then
make a second cut on your mark. This is very useful to create a cleaner cut on exposed ends or when you cannot
cover the cut edge with molding or trim.
WARNING! Blade is very sharp. Keep fingers away from blade.
