PREPARING TOOL FOR USE
3.1.
Air Supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.1. Ensure tool valve (or trigger) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.1.3. 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.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6. 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.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain
that all connections are secure.
3.2. 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 fig 1 & 2.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
4.1.
Remove the shears from the package. The tool should be assembled and ready to use.
4.2.
Connect the shears to the air hose as in chapter 3.
4.3.
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.
5. 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.
5.1.
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
