4. PREPARATION
4.1.
Air Supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
4.1.1. Ensure tool valve (or trigger) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
4.1.3.  WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the tool. Too high an air pressure and/or
unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
4.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
4.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 meters). The minimum hose diameter should be
1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. Couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A
quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See figs.1& 2.

5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
5.1.
Remove the shears from the package. The tool should be assembled and ready to use.
5.2.
Connect the shears to the air hose as in chapter 4.
5.3.
To start the shears, depress the throttle lever.
DO NOT allow the shears to free run for an extended period of time as this will shorten its life.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect tool from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair
damaged parts.
Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Note: Numbers in brackets refer to item numbers in the parts diagram.
6.1.
To replace the blades (34, 35 and 37), unscrew the three lock screws (32) and slide the cutter housing (31) off the clamp nut (27).
Remove the three lock screws (32) that secure the blades (34, 35 and 37) and remove the blades.
Fit newblades, ensuring the spacers (36) are correctly positioned and refit the lock screws. Slide the cutter housing onto the motor
housing and secure using the lock screw. Tighten all three lock screws.
6.2.
If the system does not have an oiler lubricate the tool daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool oil dripped into the air inlet.
6.3.
Clean the tool after use.
6.4.
Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size or type of hose connector. To remedy check the
air supply and follow instructions in chapter 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce performance. Flush the tool out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE
No 10 oil and paraffin.
Allow to dry before use.
6.5.
For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.6.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean tool and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
