4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
4.1
The nibbler should be set up for use before connecting to the air line.
4.2
In order to improve access to the workpiece, the die can be rotated through 360º. To do this, loosen
the locknut with a 22mm spanner (see fig.3-2). Rotate the die (see fig.3-1) on the punch until it is in the
right position for the job in hand. Hold the die steady with a 15mm spanner on its flats and retighten the
locknut (see fig.3-2).
4.3
Ensure that your workpiece is properly secured and marked out.
4.4
Connect the nibbler to the airline.
4.5
Start the nibbler by squeezing the throttle lever.
4.6
Introduce the sheet metal into the slot in the end of the die. Apply light pressure only to move the tool
in the desired direction through the material.
4.7
Do not allow the nibbler to run freely for any length of time as this will damage the bearings.
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect the nibbler from the air supply before changing the punch and die, servicing or
performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts.
Use genuine parts only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
5.1.
Lubricate the air nibbler daily with a few drops of the air tool oil supplied, dripped into the air inlet
before use. (To re-order air tool oil use Sealey part Nos. ATO/500 or ATO1000.)
5.2.
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 connectors. To
remedy check the air supply and follow instructions in
chapter 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the nibbler may also reduce
performance. If your model has an air strainer (located in
the area of the air inlet), remove the strainer and clean
it. Flush the nibbler out with gum solvent oil or an equal
mixture of SAE No 10 oil and kerosene. Allow to dry
before use. If you continue to experience problems,
contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.3.
For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.4.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean nibbler
and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
5.5
Changing the punch and die. (see fig.3)
5.5.1 Loosen the locknut (see fig.3-2) and unscrew the die (with the locknut on it) from the main body of the
nibbler. Place a 9mm spanner onto the hex section of the die collar as shown in fig.3 and undo and
remove the die collar and punch.
5.5.3 Remove the old punch from the collar and insert the new one. Screw the collar and punch back into
place and tighten with the spanner.
5.5.4 Slide the die and locknut over the punch and screw it back into the main body of the nibbler until the
bottom of the punch is flush with the bottom of the die. Rotate the die into the position required by the
workpiece. Hold the die steady with a 15mm spanner on its flats and retighten the locknut (see fig.3-2).
