Line pressure or hose inside diameter should be increased to
IMPORTANT:
compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should
be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have 1/4" NPT thread.

Operation

Before each use:
l
Drain water from air compressor tank and condensation from air lines. See air
compressor's operators manual.
l
Lubricate tool, see "Maintenance" section in this manual.
l
Connect tool to air hose of recommended size. NOTE: The use of a quick connect
set makes connecting easier.
IMPORTANT: The use of air filters and air line lubricators is recommended.
To use:
l
Turn air compressor on and allow air tank to fill.
l
Set the air compressor's regulator to 90 PSI. This tool operates at a
maximum 90 PSI pressure.
l
Clamp workpiece securely to prevent
movement.
l
Place side knives of air shear slightly on the
edge of the top side of workpiece to steady
tool.
l
Depress trigger and apply steady, even
pressure. IMPORTANT: Do not force. Too
much pressure can cause blade to over heat
and break. Too little pressure will keep blade
from cutting and cause it to overheat.
l
Reduce pressure just before cutting through
the work. When shear has completed cut,
remove from the workpiece while the motor is
running, then release trigger.
l
Always disconnect air supply when replacing blades.
l
When job is complete, turn the air compressor off and store as described in the air
compressor operator manual.
