Bernardo HLS 1280 x 1.5 Manual Lever Shear
The Bernardo HLS 1280 x 1.5 manual lever shear is designed for cutting sheet metal up to 1280 mm in length and 1.5 mm in thickness (400 N/mm²), ensuring precision and safety in every operation. The large work table ensures proper positioning of panels, with through-feed capability for cutting even longer sheets. The hold-down clamp with quick-release keeps the sheet metal stable during cutting, while the adjustable stop allows for easy angled cuts. Thanks to the rear counterweight, raising the blades requires minimal effort. The adjustable backgauge, up to 600 mm, with a front handwheel allows for quick and precise adjustments. The quality steel blades ensure long life and clean, burr-free cuts. A robust solution for workshops, maintenance departments, and light carpentry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum thickness for aluminum and stainless steel?
The nominal thickness of 1.5 mm refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For aluminum, the capacity increases by 30–50% (approx. 2.1 mm). For AISI 304 stainless steel, the capacity reduces by 30–40% (approx. 1.0 mm).
Are the blades replaceable?
Yes. The cutting blades are replaceable when worn or damaged. Original Bernardo replacement blades available with 3–5 working days shipping.
Does it require fixed installation or can it be used on a workbench?
Most Bernardo lever shears are secured to a workbench or floor with bolts. They do not require a special foundation. More compact versions can also be used on a bench vice.
Does the Bernardo HLS 1280 x 1.5 shear also cut copper and brass?
Yes. Copper and brass have lower strength than S235 steel: the effective capacity for copper is similar to aluminum (approx. 2.1 mm). For specific alloys, contact Krollit for verification.
Are assistance and spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
