Bernardo Lever Shear HLS 1280 x 2.0
The Bernardo HLS 1280 x 2.0 manual lever shear is a robust professional machine, ideal for cutting sheet metal up to 1280 mm in length and 2.0 mm thick (400 N/mm²). Thanks to its large work surface, it ensures stable and secure positioning of panels, with through-feed capability for cutting longer sheets. The standard quick-release clamp presser ensures the sheet metal is held during operation, while the adjustable stop on the table allows for easy oblique cuts. The rear counterweight facilitates blade lifting, reducing operator effort. The rear stop, adjustable up to 600 mm via a front handwheel, allows for quick and precise adjustments. The cast iron base provides additional stability and strength. An ideal manual shear for workshops, light carpentry, and maintenance departments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum thickness for aluminum and stainless steel?
The nominal thickness of 2.0 mm refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For aluminum, capacity increases by 30–50% (approx. 2.8 mm). For AISI 304 stainless steel, capacity decreases by 30–40% (approx. 1.3 mm).
Are the blades replaceable?
Yes. Cutting blades are replaceable when worn or damaged. Original Bernardo replacement blades available with 3–5 business day 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 special foundations. More compact versions can also be used with a bench vice.
The Bernardo HLS 1280 x 2.0 – Does it also cut copper and brass?
Yes. Copper and brass have lower resistance than S235 steel: the actual capacity for copper is similar to aluminum (approx. 2.8 mm). For specific alloys, contact Krollit for verification.
Is assistance and spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business day shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
